The LT500’s even stock are the unicorns

[@michaelriley8002]

Quadzilla fan all day.

[@Van1018s]

I owned both when I was younger. Banshee won’t touch the 500. Stock. Neither in a straight line touch a slightly modded new raptor. Which I currently own. My modded yfz 450 wont touch it a straight line. On dirt. On pavement it’s a different story. Raptor just wheelies so bad you don’t go anywhere. I love all of them. Which I never would got rid of my old school 2 strokes. Great video!

[@johnw4590]

I also survived owning a 500R. Was ridiculously fast stock and very stable.

[@richardmoseley8486]

from a Quadzillia lover just goes to show you if you know how to ride a Quadzillia it's still the king

[@DoubleD.Racing]

Yes sir!😎

[@matts6978]

I’ll take with my banshee any quadzilla in any giving day!

[@juanpadua537]

Banshee runs good with a lot a money in the engine,but Quadzilla alway in stock or few mods is the King.When Banshee stock or with few mods take off the Quadzilla let us now.

[@matts6978]

@@juanpadua537 you forget that stock the quad is 500cc vs350 cc🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

[@richardmoseley8486]

@@juanpadua537 ? Do you think a fully built Banshee would built a fully built

[@hanretheart1968]

Very nice bro love that Quadzilla tho!

[@BtrainProductions]

Now I wanna go ride my Zilla. Been awhile

[@okiedoke6373]

If I had one I'd be on it everyday probably a good idea I don't have one

[@gametime2473]

Lucky... I sold mine back near 2000 and bought a new klx 650 dirt bike. I am thinking about getting another one. There are several for sale in my area right now.

[@KingDeadPool11]

Damn I miss 2 strokes.

[@myddislouder]

Could the banshee just not get traction? Or was it built for a longer strip?

[@DoubleD.Racing]

It was definitely having traction issues for sure!

[@gametime2473]

Word has it the Banshee was on the same dirt as the Quadzilla.

[@michaelboskovich6948]

Damn that quadzilla is fast

[@daltonnadeau1339]

Love how everyone in the comments point out 350cc but not mention it’s a twin cylinder 350cc

[@cobblegilll]

Big block vs small block. 350 didn't make sense because making it a twin cylinder added more weight and rotating mass. Would have been faster if it were a single cylinder. Sure sounded cool though. I smoked many banshees with my Lt 500 at haspin acres through the years

[@gametime2473]

Yeah, banshees weren't even an issue for my Zilla back in the day. It was an easy win unless they had a lot of work done. I prefer reliability over a small drag race improvement personally. Zillas love to foul plugs though. I always carried extra plugs for when I didn't keep it revved enough on tight trails

[@lencar62]

😮

[@jasonmailhot759]

love those quadzillas...2 stroke powa

[@okiedoke6373]

No disrespect but you need to learn how to use that clutch the clutch liver is facing the sky that's the exact wrong position it needs to be facing down it's more of a natural position you go from one finger to a whole hand grab losing a lot of time on the shift

[@okiedoke6373]

And are you starting in second gear to me they always did better in second gear in a drag race

[@okiedoke6373]

One of the thing try it before you knock it 2 oz 2 stroke oil 2 oz Marvel's Mystery Oil per gallon of gas that mixture comes off the riverbeds from the 90s

Nice!!! 15g in his bike to lose to a stock bike lol

[@davecalvo6418]

yeah well the banshee is a 350cc racing a 500cc and he beat the 500 first time out. Also that dude on the banshee has no clue what hes doing, the last race he nearly cross into the other lane?? dummy

[@dennisbrooks186]

@@davecalvo6418 yeah he prob one of them dudes dropped 10k on a bike and thought he would be the track master all a sudden lmao. Them 500s move, so mild built banshee, and decent rider....still be a good run!!

[@travis4191]

Zilla has that low down horsepower

[@a.gutierrez883]

Look like the banshee won all 3 times especially the 3rd time he was ahead by quite a bit but u can hear he let off the throttle look like his bike wasn't even running right either If it was it would of been no match

[@DoubleD.Racing]

Quadzilla 2, Banshee 1 🙂

[@marioncobretti7870]

Sound like a kid in a rice rocket sitting there with the clutch in revving it for no reason

[@DoubleD.Racing]

It’s jetted a little rich and it will load up really fast if I let it sit at idle.
