Sam Harris's Yamaha Laeger Pro-trax
Banshee
I would like to thank everyone that
took the time to vote my quad and to all the riders at
www.atvriders.com and www.bansheehq.com for their support.
The Banshee was truly a revolutionary machine when it
was originally released in 1987, and has remained one
of the best selling quads each year for the past nineteen
years. With next year being the last year that Yamaha
offers the Banshee, I decided to build my dream version
of the quad as a tribute. The entire project took roughly
10 months to complete, and I could not be happier with
the results. Lastly I would like to give a special thanks
to my 73-year-old Dad who was the primary builder of the
bike. Without his time, patience and “know how”,
this project would not have been possible.
