QuadZilla VS Banshee Part 2: The Rematch!

[@WestCoastRoller]

Gotta give it up for the zilla being all stock down the the silencer no tuning! Im a banshee guy but the zilla out of the crate was an impressive machine!

[@TheMapleDude1]

It was the biggest and baddest. But something about the banshee... just fun to ride!

[@JackSternitzky]

What a race

[@TheMapleDude1]

Share it.

[@michaelabbott8431]

Both are epic

[@TheMapleDude1]

Agreed!

[@jeffschwarz5706]

Great race…. Keep them coming… love the vintage all terrain vehicles

[@TheMapleDude1]

Thanks jeff

[@joelyford9809]

I knew there was more than two things a 4 wheeler was good for. Drag racing! So donuts, wheelies and drag racing.

[@TheMapleDude1]

Right on Joe!

Yeah taller than me now.

[@thenarrowpathatvchannel4316]

Great video. Thx for posting those races.

[@TheMapleDude1]

We appreciate you watching.

[@sunnyray7819]

Awesome comparison! Might I suggest a couple of small traffic cones? Always a potential for a vehicle or rider to hit the pole in the bucket. Easier to see and carry a couple of cones. Just a thought. Thanks for another great video!

[@TheMapleDude1]

Yes that's a good idea.

[@marcielindustries9225]

Pavement is the great equalizer, my buddy's 500 pipe, cool head on race gas beat my just ..... pipes/reeds Banshee (we both knew it would) but we took traction out of the equation and had some fun with a good old street race.

[@TheMapleDude1]

I hear you... but it's hard to find a spot we won't deal with traffic.

[@marcielindustries9225]

@TheMapleDude1 , I'm with ya, he as a bunch of property in a rural area. We didn't even see any cars.

Quadzillas stock always took a stock Banshee but didnt hold up as well

[@TheMapleDude1]

Truth

[@joshgessinger4509]

Some good racing very cool. The mighty Suzuki quadzilla still the king.

[@TheMapleDude1]

It certainly is!

[@sugashizane]

I'm a banshee guy myself, but them zilla 5 hundos are fast yaw!!

[@TheMapleDude1]

Yes awesome machines

[@wedigsrus]

The 500 and Banshee are impressive machines. When you think about the design and technology are 30 plus years old and can still put a smile on peoples face is crazy to think about. Engineers were ahead of their time. Really interesting in loose traction conditions the 500 hangs with a modified Banshee really well. Looks like the Banshee does have more top end than the 500 with current set-up. Curious what tooth front sprocket you have on the banshee ? I am guessing 14-tooth, bump it up to 15 tooth to try and get that power to the ground LOL. Could you run on a black top surface to see if the outcome would be any different.

[@TheMapleDude1]

It is the 14 tooth. It's hard to find black top here where we can get away with this. But yes traction with banshee is an issue.

[@sandbar521]

I’m not tryna be an armchair quarterback but I think dad short shifts just a weee bit so those beautiful machines are probably closer than the races showed😁

[@TheMapleDude1]

Im not perfect. But last time you were probably a guy that said I waited too long to shift?

[@curtis026]

I just found your channel today because of the first matchup video. I am sorry to admit, but I was skeptical of the way that Banshee was being shifted and rode during that first video. I have zero skin in the game as I am a dirt biker and 3 wheeler through and through at 37 yrs young. Pops had a 3 wheeler my entire childhood, and I could never afford a quad, so I bought and rode dirt bikes. Banshees were always my favorite quad growing up, and I think people are hating on it because it’s the only one you can really hear in the videos. They make the greatest sound on earth! Anyway, you sir are the greatest dad on planet earth right now! Forget the haters! You have me wanting to try maple syrup making in western Pa (apparently doable) and wanting to set you up with my own single mother 😂 if she wasn’t obviously way too old for you then I’d be trying! God bless your family #1 dad! Edit: this is important so I have to say it, Banshees were my favorite because friends had them, and I am an engine nut job..they fascinate me. The Honda 250r was already a legend in my childhood (born in 86) but they were unobtanium to everyone aside from the kids who grew up racing. And unfortunately the quadzilla, while also being a legend, was just completely off the radar. No one around me knew anyone who owned one. The Banshee was the obtainable quad for every redneck, and that is why it is still so revered today. Nothing better than that 2 cylinder 2 stroke idling!

[@TheMapleDude1]

Hwy Curtis I really appreciate the time you took.to comment. Yeah f0r sure we can always become better riders. But we are having fun. And yes you definitely can make maple syrup in w Pennsylvania. We need some decent women out here in WI! Haha

[@curtis026]

@@TheMapleDude1 there is a shortage of decent women everywhere these days! I’m single too man. They are out there, but the good ones think the same way we do…which is why we never meet or know about each other. The most important thing though is to just keep doing what you’re doing, and being the best dad you can be. You’ve got such awesome kids to keep you motivated. The clout chasing woman will be knocking shortly 😂 If you are ever at the Brady’s Run maple syrup festival, or near Beaver/Lawrence County Pennsylvania then KZbin me up! God Bless - Curt

Impressive that the zilla is completely stock and still wins

[@TheMapleDude1]

Yeah it's a great machine.

[@smileskindheart1085]

💥💥💥💥💥I PERSONALLY THINK your tires are over filled with air…. I could be mistaken but just by seeing them they look rock hard with like 10psi in them 😅lowering air pressure 2 psi especially on the Yamaha and I believe it’ll hook up way better. I’d try a rematch like this with the Suzuki untouched and see. And sit at the back of the seat stretching out to get more weight on the tires. I would try running 3.5psi tops air pressure on rear and 6 on front, and after this if you can’t beat the zilla gear it up one tooth in front that’ll take the bottomend torque curve down abit, this should help you not spin so bad the first 3 gears and give you more mid to topend charge. Good luck and yes I’m craving maple 🍁 syrup now 🔥🔥🤣🤣

[@TheMapleDude1]

Thanks for the tips.

[@fiveomagic8844]

Great video guys!! Enjoy when you post a new one!!! When you offering maple syrup with a picture of a quad on the bottle?

[@jolouis7491]

Pops you’re banging through the gears way too fast on the banshee , the way jack was shifting on the banshee was perfect if you shifted like that you would have beat him .

[@TheMapleDude1]

We did switch up the machines but always room for improvement.

[@shaner.5]

is this a traction difference?

[@TheMapleDude1]

It's better here than the first video.

[@shaner.5]

@@TheMapleDude1 What I was asking was If both bikes had new shoes the same shoes would the race be even closer ? Does one bike feel like it hooks up more, ether way its a-lot of power to put down. Thanks for your time.

[@dennissims7321]

It’s gotta be tires spin cause I grew up and banshees out in the sand dunes and Suzuki 500 didn’t even stand a chance not even close so I don’t even know what’s going on with this race

[@TheMapleDude1]

Idk... lots of other people will say the 500 always beat the banshee.

[@dennissims7321]

Lots of people can say that, but how many 500s do you see drag racing on Sandunes compared to banshees it’s just my honest opinion. I grew up on Silver Lakes and dunes Michigan. There wasn’t anything faster than the banshee today. Yes, there is.

so why dont you do all the mods to the zilla, pipe reeds, carb & air box lid off?

Cause it's really rare to find an original machine. They are worth more in original condition.

Take all of the small mods off the Banshee and replace with all stock parts that will settle it

some good racin!!!! I think there should have been a tie breaker though, a final once and for all lol we can run all over the roads here in se ky without any law problems but I sure do miss those flat/straight dirt roads up in the great white north. Did plenty of test runs on those roads when i lived in n mich as a teenager, also put plenty of cars/trucks in ditches "tryin to avoid a deer" hehe yea right lol

My thoughts. The first 2 races zilla won easily and all of a sudden the banshee starts winning now I’m no genius but with as easy as zilla won the first 2 what happened to all of a sudden change things? Anyone?

Rider weight, shifting? It's just a real world test.. not perfect but a good example.
