those are still Great Machines, Dudes. I remember the Sound & Sight of brand new 350 Banshees, 200 Blasters & Honda 250X. I got (still have) an ‘86 FourTrax 250 when I was Eleven. it was my wheels & took me everywhere. i put a ball hitch on it to pull a Scanoe on a trailer to hit lakes, swamps, ponds & rivers with my BFF on the back. It was a great machine too, but I was always jealous of the Honda 250X my other BFF had, the 200 Blaster that a school mate had, the 350 Banshee my GF’s brother had & of course the Infamous 500 Quadzilla. We’d trade out our wheels to ride for a few miles & enjoy each other’s machines on days that riding was out only task...those were the freaking days. After riding the zippy 2-strokes & 250X 4-stroke, I felt proud & comfortable, when I was back on my FourTrax 250. They were all Great for their Own Reasons, so This Video Upload took me way, way back to those Glorious Days of being a pre-teen, only needing gasoline. The Blaster was a Super Sweet Ride, too. I need to get one of the old 2-strokers & fix up, repair or restore it enough to Perform & Look awesome. The late ‘80s & early ‘90s Quads really Hit the Mark & this video is a Testament to their BadAssNous. Thanks for Posting, but Screw You Both for Making My Wallet Quiver & for the Fear of My Wife’s Tongue Lashing that I’ll Receive after Purchasing an Un-Needed 20+-year-old Quad! I Do Hope that Y’all Keep’em Running & Visible for us Out Here to Enjoy. They’re Just So Cool. That 500 Still Brings Wild & Ominous Feelings to Me of the Adrenaline Rush I’d Get after Nailing Doubles & Triples at Private Tracks...It’s THE ONE that Nearly Every Quad Enthusiast Still Holds I’m High, High, Very High Regard.

Bro, back in the late 80s I had a Banshee (89) my friend Chris Peck has a Lt500. I can tell you without a Question IN Stock form the Banshee is Quicker and Overall Faster then Lt500. We rode together for YEARS. FYI my friend Jim Davis has an 85 ATC 250r (3-wheeler) and that would hang with us All day The Banshee has a more usable powerband as well. Personally my favorite bike ever was our Yamaha 225dx. It was an 86 I still own it today. Always kept in the family in running shape.

[@patrickjaegers3110]

Without question? Lol! Maybe between you and your buddy, but the rest of the world remembers it differently, including DirtWheels who did a very unbiased and controlled (same air pressure in tires, several runs with different riders on the same day, letting them cool down between races, etc) high speed drag race on asphalt between the Zilla, Banshee, Tecate 4, Quadracer 250, and 250R (and a Mojave just to throw in a 4 stroke.) That was in the late 80's. It pretty much disproved everything you stated, especially the usable powerband comment. The zilla has power down low all the way up through the high end. The Banshee has nothing down low until it gets to it's powerband (Aka, very un-usable.) Ride a zilla sometime and you'll understand. Get it rolling in about 3rd gear barely above idling and just roll on the throttle. It will get up and go almost immediately! On a Banshee, it would take 2nd-4th to do what the zilla will do in that single gear. In fact, a Banshee will fall on it's face just trying to let it idle in 3rd gear, and it would take an entire block to hit it's powerband if you didn't shift down or clutch it and rev and dump it. I've ridden a brand new Banshee with no mods, and that is exactly what happens. The guy who owned the Banshee had it out on it's maiden voyage at Little Sahara in OK, and let me ride it, and he swung a leg over my stock zilla and took it for a spin. When we got back, his exact words were, "Holy s#&%! This thing has power everywhere!" I told him his Banshee was nice, but I was far from impressed. I had to shift constantly up and down the dunes to keep the RPM's up, or it would fall on it's face.

I've been riding since I was 4 years old and now 44. I have never liked nerf bars for back woods trail riding always get in way. Ie..pop up front to go over a big tree 30" or so. Rocks ect....always get them hung up. Or hitting objects, I'm sure great for some. I currently ride a modified raptor 700r it's been stroked, efi controller freed up air intake and exhaust, high compression piston plus many others. 16t front and 34t rear 23" tires front and 22" rear. It goes into the tripple digits on top end. I can crack the throttle pull it up at 75mph in 4th shift into 5th and goes too fast for tire ratings. Those are extremely great machine's you have to get gobs of hp to the ground. Both the banshee and quadzilla are both awesome machines. Dirtwheels magazine did a turbo banshee and efi on another. Turbo went from 35hp at rear wheels to 115. The efi version with pipe went from 35 into the 60's hp. Tons of hp hiding in both of your machines

They are quite a bit slower than both of these quads. Back in the 80's, DirtWheels did an asphault drag race of all of the fastest stock ATV's back then testing overall top speed and quickness. It was a very unbiased test as they controlled nearly all of the variables, even making sure every quad had the same air pressure in the tires, and all had stock gearing. Of the 250 2 strokes, the Kawasaki T4 was the fastest coming in just a few mph slower than the Banshee, and the Banshee was a couple mph behind the zilla. Suzuki LT250R was next after the T4, and the Honda 250R was the slowest among the 2 strokes. They threw in a 4 stroke Kawi Mohave just for kicks. Obviously it came in last. All of the quads had their best times when starting in 2nd gear, except for the T4. It was best starting in 1st gear.

@@Toxic2T Yes, 2 stroke dirbikes are a different animal. They are just so incredibly light. Their engines also typically have a lighter flywheel and don't have a counter balancer which allows them to rev faster and attain higher HP numbers while sacrificing some of low end torque that ATV's need. The Zilla is the fastest ATV ever produced, but I'm sure a CR250 would give a zilla a hard time and would probably beat it in acceleration, and only slightly lose in top speed.

Trails, mud, everything, showed up big jacked up 4wd's in the mud. Always wanted a 250/500, still got my old 99 400ex. Gonna have to tear it down to the frame one of these days. Rode that bitch into the ground. It was the same way, even took some 450's down and she'd hang right there with the ones she didn't. And didn't even have to do much to it. But warriors never stood a chance, couldn't even catch it on top end. That and my foreman, still remember passing my buddy on his warrior up over his head at LBL. Heavy girl would still FLY! But it ain't quite stock... Clean the carb, and it'd still fire. The 400 is trashed top to bottom. Cracked a arm, carrier bearings are gone, stem bent all to hell, piston and clutch are both fried. But damn did she make me proud. Finally just didn't really have anything left to give. I'll get her stripped one of these days and finally get the displacement up and do some chassis work. Needs literally EVERYTHING anyway. It's an absolute wonder it stayed together as long as it did. The a arm was cracked from wrapping it around the ONLY tree within a mile for the last like 4 years it was going. Carrier went out again as the clutch finally went, been needing rings at least for a while and the stem had damn near always been a little tweaked after one of my first good wrecks on it. Then one real good one really bent it there toward the end. I'd straighten it out and run it some more, but it got weak. Least little thing would bend it.

Not neck in neck. Banshee was winded, the Zilla walked it. Love both bikes but... The zuk has the BIG advantage. 5000 to 7000 in my area( Detroit) for quadzilla in 2021. If I'm gonna spend that, it will be on the king. Good video bro. AAA awesome.

[@kentuckybluegrass8695]

Both are bad ass rides and I had a time on both

[@thedukeofconway4209]

Every comment section I read on these vids people just clown this dude for shifting lol

[@lukehemphill553]

Banshee kickstart rattle drives me nuts! Two healthy machines tho always a good time runnin a 2 stroke

[@MrColdwatercanyon]

That was fun ! You should take them out to that oval track

[@chroniccrypto5621]

They're both amazing and powerful machines. I've always loved that man look the banshee gives off, and ever since I had an Lt250r I've always wanted it's big brother. The only downside is the size and weight so my goal is to buy a 500zilla motor and drop it into an Lt250r frame and make a hybrid because they're lighter and smaller. The engine fits, but you gotta rig it up and they're bad to the bone. I plan on buying a 250r of all the three models, TRX250, Tecate250, and another 1990 or 86 Lt250, then a Banshee, and a Lt500 quadzilla. The 1986 Lt250r has a lot of low end power, but the 1990 has 6 a speed gear box, and on mine that I use to drag it was so fast I couldn't even get it into 6th because there wasn't any stretches of land long enough to do it. Right now I have a Polaris Outlaw 525s and I've only ridden it in the snow in my neighborhood and I can't wait to get it out in the dirt and I'm the trails, then the Colorado dunes and drag it. From what I've seen and heard that Outlaw will beat everything except a built Banshee or built zilla. Is it true? Idk. I've seen videos of it being true, but I myself in person have never witnessed it.

[@rapscallion3421]

It will beat any 450 in a straight line, throw in some bumps and corners and the 525 becomes that fat GF you can't get rid of.

[@chroniccrypto5621]

@@rapscallion3421 ya they're beastly. Unfortunately I had to sell mine because I've had it for 2.5 years and never got the Chace to ride it so I found her a good home and she's being put to use. I'll be buying another tho once I'm done launching my company and our ITC ( Initial Token Crowdfunding ) project.

[@jamiedees2706]

The guy on the video before the race says he thinks Banshee will win on the 1/4 mile track. Then the Quadzilla wins and he says, “pretty much exactly like I thought it was going to go.” SMH!!!!

[@steveperuski5547]

Love it no replacement for displacement

[@cyc25ruffneck]

Both really nice looking old quads! Ignore the people on here running their mouths. Keep having fun, and enjoying those old toys. Stay safe!!

[@TrashYourJunkCleveland]

I love these videos, reliving my earlier years. Roll back to 1987ish. My cousins had Honda 250's so I wanted to get a quad. There was a Zuk dealer down the street from my job so I went at lunch one day. The sales guy wouldnt sell me a Zilla as "They were too fast". It was then I knew I had to have one. The next day I went to a dealer in a neighboring town and was able to buy one. At that same time my cousin sold his Honda and bought a Banshee. We spent all our time lining those two beasts up, sometimes I would get him, sometimes he would get me, the Zilla is a beast for sure but the lower CC Banshee isnt ajoke either. Now that I am older if an opportunity came to buy a nice stockish Zilla I May do it

[@chrisreynolds2410]

Just look for one

[@bradm2116]

I love all quads got a 250r and 450r my self owned tons of others and and die hard Honda fan but there really is nothing that compares to a banshee once it comes on the pipes the sound the feel is definitely iconic

[@timitbiscuit3620]

I had a 250r baby quadzilla. I could not handle the 500 it is a monster and i don't know how many riders it did in LOL. But it was one hell of a machine. Also was good for blowing up!!!!

[@cromm2279]

Gotta love the 2 strokes!!!!

[@robroy8349]

There is two of the best thee at s of all time (missing the 250r). You are lucky!

[@funtyes1970]

my cousin had a 1986 Honda 4-TRX250R very fast 4wheeler . back in mid and late 90's i think Honda 4-TRX250R was racing 4 wheeler of the year 4-5 straight years

[@eternalthread7846]

I’d much rather have a banshee twin cylinder is more efficient and sounds so awesome and as far as mods it has a lot more potential

[@lhurst9550]

Back in the day(1992) I had a '92 banshee, my friend had the quadzilla, and another friend had the 250 quadracer. I could not hold a candle to the quadzilla in a flat race, I excelled in the woods (tight trails) but I could always beat the 250. Before turbos were on everything there was no replacement for displacement.

[@kennycampbelljr5896]

My friend has 2 500s and a few 250s one of the 250s has a CR500 engine on it and a Banshee has to be heavily modified to even think about racing them 500s.

[@Tain950]

Damn both are awesome quads

[@craiga9492]

And stock, the quadzilla's were low on power for a 500. Needed some work to wake them up

[@knoffs1]

I remember beating a stock 500 on my 250 quadracer that had been ported and polished.

[@craiga9492]

@@knoffs1 I need to find a pipe for mine

[@chevybub6094]

Great footage my two favorite bikes never actually owned a a zilla but that’s the bike that got me hooked when I was 9 years old pie face tone use to ride me around wheeling and and tilting on 2 wheels but bout time I reach a age when I could buy one it was all banshee from there 3 different ones. One was full blown 100 over got clocked over 100mph+ was really fast but the stock bikes where still more fun

[@zachwellentin5557]

Fantastic quads fellas

For the record I love these guys bikes and videos. I really enjoy but they can’t ride period!

Loved it!! Thanks for posting!!

Always wanted quadzilla. Late teens when it came out

[@haydendouglass1417]

Typical banshee kick start rattle use to hate that sound on mine, need a bar pad on those banshees bars too

[@kylehorsecock2731]

If he cant even kick start the quad why was he even on it thats rule number one

[@turkfebruary5836]

Kyle Hillock rule number 2: who gives a shit was KyleHillock says

[@tylerwilliams6022]

Those high comp single 500 cylinders can be a bitch to turn over. Best to slowly use the kicker to find top dead center and then give it a good kick. On a side note: anyone remember the weird sideways kickstart on the Suziki Quadsport?

[@corypinkney9769]

Nice race

[@shawnbennett7294]

I knew it suzuki all the way I'm glad people knows now which one is faster
