Shout out, Matt. Thanks for having us 🙏 and to darren for letting us rip that awesome 426ex, and the lt250r gets the win 🏆 oh,fyi my bad, i did jump lil at the end just got excited lol its a 250 2 stroke lol

[@garagemcmatt]

Lol all good bro thanks for coming out

[@bogregory8260]

Great video! Love the collab. Great gesture to David too.

[@garagemcmatt]

Thanks bro

[@justincarlfilms]

Thanks for watching

[@donaldsearles817]

That's awesome buddy the 426 didn't do bad at all but you got love LT 250R.

[@garagemcmatt]

It didn't lose in my mind. Definitely held its own

[@justincarlfilms]

Both great machines 👍 you did good on both 👏

[@garagemcmatt]

@justincarlfilms I can't take credit on building the suzuki. But one day I'll rebuild it. That top end is over 4 years old too. It will be way faster with a fresh top end

[@ThisOldTrike]

I was hopeful the Honda would prevail... but that was being overly optimistic. Nice video! Good races!

[@garagemcmatt]

Don't worry bro I got a honda that should take the LT

[@eddiericca6994]

Wooooo I knew how that was gonna go down - quad racer is sick bro

[@garagemcmatt]

I do love that quad but we will see how it holds up to the trx330r

[@roonytavares1]

Not surprised with the outcome 😂 we need that trx250r vs lt250r

[@garagemcmatt]

Literally building it rite now. But I think we know that outcome. Trx330r vs lt250r

[@roonytavares1]

@@garagemcmatt nice man can’t wait to see it

[@QuadGuyCy]

@@garagemcmatt That's the story of almost every trx250r I've ever raced against. They are usually anything but a 250. The poor LT suffers from lack of aftermarket support.

[@garagemcmatt]

@QuadGuyCy that is the problem. I wanted to sell the lt250r but I could probably never find another 3rd gen with its original papers from suzuki and all the aftermarket stuff. Well not easily anyway

[@QuadGuyCy]

@@garagemcmatt No sir, 3rd gen stuff is not easy to come by these days. Far and few between.

[@joshgessinger4509]

Love the LT 250 iv owned 2 85 and 86. I would love to own a 91-92 i believe one of the best quads ever made. My 86 was very fast pipe head milled and porting wisco piston 100mph it was insane. The honda 250r gets all the glory but man the Suzuki wasn’t far behind. Actually think the 91-92 was faster stock vs stock anyway after mods who know lol! Im been riding bikes for many years now started out on quads one day i want to find a 91-92 Suzuki. The simplicity of a 2 stoke is unmatched by a 4 stoke.

[@garagemcmatt]

This lt250r is for sale as it sits. It's on marketplace now

[@joshgessinger4509]

Nothing like the mighty 2 stroke lol!! Man that was a short race really like to see at least 1/8 mile.

[@garagemcmatt]

That was the longest flat straight section we could find without loading the quads up and going anywhere. The LT250R was pulling on it from the beginning to the end so any longer would have just been worse for the 426

[@garagemcmatt]

@justincarlfilms has his video up on this race too. Check it out from a different pov

[@joshgessinger4509]

@@garagemcmatt Ya I figured 250 keep pulling just wanted to see it lol! Great video though really enjoyed it. I had a 86 with motor work geared up it would go 100mph very fast wish i still had it. Thanks for the fine entertainment

[@garagemcmatt]

@joshgessinger4509 more coming soon bro check out the recent community posts

[@chadt5584]

Makes me want to get a 2 stroke! Couple side questions: what phone mount are you using on your helmet? I haven’t been keeping up, but are you still working on the 465EX? Thanks.

[@garagemcmatt]

I custom mounted my camera mount to my helmet. The 465ex got put on the back burner for a Lil bit. Honestly got a Lil out of hand with the amount of money I sunk into it. It will be back tho

Very cool, and good looking LT. Any chance you'd sell that 250 seat? Thanks

[@garagemcmatt]

My seat on my lt250r. No that's not for sale. Or are u talking about a different seat

[@feracopictures9322]

I say the lt250r gonna beat your 426 you built. Good times, you should of had me come out and film bro! Next race I’m coming to film!

[@garagemcmatt]

2 stroke bro

[@ononewheel7]

That lt does sound sweet man.

[@garagemcmatt]

Thanks bro. I do love that bike it always puts a smile on my face and I love when people see it when I'm out riding and they always have a story about they had one or a friend had one back in the day

[@Mr.Lonely-682]

hey men I see in your videos that you have a TRX 400 and LTZ400.... Could you tell me if the A Arms of the TRX work on the LTZ?

[@garagemcmatt]

I don't have a ltz400 this is a lt250r I do believe they swap from what I hear tho

[@SketchyMotorsports]

Just picked up 2 quadracers

[@SketchyMotorsports]

They’re goated

[@garagemcmatt]

Great quads, what years did u get

[@SketchyMotorsports]

@@garagemcmatt both 86

[@SketchyMotorsports]

@@garagemcmatt one runs really good just had the top end done and rides nice just is kinda ugly needs new plastics and next time it needs motor work I’ll restore it to the level as the other one, it is completely stripped to the frame ready for powder coat the motor had a fresh rebuild, traded my ford ranger for them and there’s no regrets yet other than I have nothing to haul them with😭

[@garagemcmatt]

@SketchyMotorsports I have a 85-86 chassis sitting here. Lmk if u need something.

[@ydkma]

32-1 or even 37-1 is crazy on anything besides lawn equipment

[@garagemcmatt]

Everyone has their own reasons for the mix they run

[@ydkma]

@@garagemcmatt you might as well skip the gas and run straight oil lmao

[@actionislive69]

Going to say the 250 will smoke him all day brother.

[@garagemcmatt]

Good opinion

[@actionislive69]

Can't wait to get my 426 ex 350x going my dude. I will show u it when I'm done. Can't wait brother.

[@garagemcmatt]

@@actionislive69 did you see the short I posted for that 426 engine I built for a buddies 350x?

[@PaulLapadula]

250r all day

[@garagemcmatt]

Absolutely. The 426ex held its own pretty good tho

[@Thesaurcery4U2C]

I think Justin liked the smoker. I believe what he said was woo hoo, and ya hoo.

[@garagemcmatt]

He definitely did

[@Nicksfrfr]

id always put my money on the 2 stroke

[@garagemcmatt]

Smart man

[@johnbruzzi4381]

Justin lost that last race, unless you was doing chase is a race, lol

[@garagemcmatt]

He did jump but I did chase

[@NastyNaz1000]

👍🏾🤘🏾

[@garagemcmatt]

Hell yeah

[@dwalker2431]

Lt 250r was the fastest between Kawasaki and Honda back in the day

[@garagemcmatt]

I think kawasaki led them on paper. Honda handled the best, suzuki was first to the party tho

[@johnbruzzi4381]

Although you did swap riders, the biggest variable btw you 2 is weight

[@garagemcmatt]

We are both around 200

[@garagemcmatt]

There will never be a dead even heads up race idc how you go about it

[@johnbruzzi4381]

@@garagemcmatt I agree that impossible, even with identical machines. Your telling me you 2 weight the same.

@@garagemcmatt lol 226lb but hey what it all comes down to is......this was so much fun remember the fun factor is there on both machines 😄

[@JacksonOffroad25]

Lt250r straight line speed for the win but if you do a XC style race I’d give the edge to the Honda

[@garagemcmatt]

We might try that one day. I do rip this lt through the trails often and I pick the lt over the 426 9/10 times

[@JacksonOffroad25]

@@garagemcmatt yeah if you’re used to managing two stroke power band in the woods it would be a blast but for most people I’d say the 426 is easier to manage in tight trails

[@garagemcmatt]

@JacksonOffroad25 oh hands down. If you don't know how to keep a 2 stroke in the power band you will not have fun. Better bring an extra plug if your gunna just put a 2 stroke around
