fastdraw30 No freakin way. 1988 89 TRX250R all the way. Go do a search for "Greg Huntley Unadilla" and check out his bad ass ESR ATC330R. In the 80s.....Honda all the way baby
In 1987, my parents bought me an '86 230 Quad Runner for my first atv at 14yrs old. I asked for one of these. I thought these things were awesome and beautiful at the same time. That holds true 31 years later.
Suzuki LT 500 (Quadzilla) Is the world fastest racer ATV Stock. Meaning no stock 4 stroke ATV will not even come close to it................. Two Stroke is the way to go. So powerful Suzuki had to stop making it. 1987 to 1990 legend.
Same here brother, and I had both actually. Looking to get another lt500r. Been 15 years since I owned both. Time to get back in the saddle. Some of the most fun I've ever had. Most of my buddies had 250rs and raced back then just out of high school. Both wer ported, piped and high compression. Always a fan of the 2 stroke sport quads.
I miss my old Zilla Flat Tracker that was stolen ! It had a LCS cylinder punched .060 over and lot's of mods. At Boyd Raceway in 1994 they clocked us at 92mph coming out of turn 2 !
I love that quad because I had a electric all plastic one with the plastic tires when I was 7. It was like a powerwheels toy based off the LTR it even days Suzuki 500 on it.
sounds like it was running rich or trying to foul a plug but its probably just the big ole 500 cc,i had a 250R three wheeler that thing was bad ass,i tricked it out,stretched 4 inches too much to list,your riding my favorite kind of place,we used to race each other on some old dirt rds that went for miles and would hit the corners as fast as we could,on dirtbikes,quads 3 three wheelers oh man good times.the only thing i dont like is the color combo,i hate yellow and the blue could be a better shade,but i wouldnt change a thing,keep on riding man,ping ping ping
The fastest two stroke ATV ever made.. my brother had one looked just like it and had the same and pipe.. these would bust banshees asses.. lol.. we used to drag race them for money against the banshees and we would always win.. that's why they stopped making them so long ago
@@codybaldwin7253 u take a quad zilla 500 stock against a stock banshee and the banshee will be severely embarrassed.. I've race Mx for almost 12 yrs I kno.. banshee's are fast.. but the reason they stopped making the Suzuki 500 way back was bc it was to fast and people were getting hurt and killes
I love the Quadzilla 500 i had the same bike it was my Banshee killer most people didnt even know what it was its literally my favorite bike all performance was great the only thing that sucked was kick starting it on cold the kick back OMG but wow its a 100% badass . btw sold it for 6k because i all most killed my self but its all good .
I road a Air cooled RM 500 Quad in Secret Harbour ,Perth WA about 1986 I think.It was big & Basic.I liked the Water cooled RM 250 engine Quad much more.
Dont get me wrong I'm a Suzuki fan and the fact its a 500 is badass but still its fuuuuggglly!! The banshee and 250r look so much better. Only if they ever made a trx500r!
The 500 was an absolute animal but the had some reliability issues the engines would hand Granade without warning. But they had sick nasty power though.
Are they hard to tune? Or issues with the jetting? I never heard one run really clean... .. always sound like its detonating too. Dont get me wrong a 500cc 2 stroke on anything is great but just wondering.
These where some great motors but man the chassis sucked compared to today’s stuff! Now stick some Modern racing 450 shocks on that bad boy and modern tires, and it would be as fast as anything out there!
MaN ! This video is another Good Video with Awesome sound. I gave a thumbs UP ! ....but i have to say...and you you guys know it im sure ....But this ZiLLA is sounding a bit sick ..a Little Lazy if you will. And if you didnt have those road race tires on it ....that it wouldnt come Up on the pipe at all. Now it aint gonna turn the rpm that Fukn AWESOME Kx250 you have does...but it should SnaP as Hard . It sounds to me that reed block is not working well ..possibly the power valve is sticking somewhat ...clutch is in need of some New Springs...
Sorry for the third comment but after getting deeper in the video yeah that thing's bogging quite a bit and just popping man if it was jetted right it would absolutely just scream
It made my eyes water in 2nd and dry out in 3rd 4th was terrifying and 5th was an adrenaline rush better than any drug Quadzilla is a ledgend!!!
the BEAST sounds WAY BETTER than ANY 4 STROKE OUT THERE TOO! 4 strokes sound like a WET FART! 2 STROKES FOR LIFE!!!
Even today, this is one of the best looking sport quads ever made, classic style and colors..and that 500cc 2 stroke is a beast beyond imagination!!

I have a trx250r, and I love both. They are the legendary bikes of all time, EVER!
Yeah...cant beat the Honda. 😜
Old jizzzzzzzzzunk. Totally dated suspension and that engine isn't shit unless built.
@@voxpopuli905 Little slow compare a 500cc. It is close cause the Honda is a lighter weight.

That would be a badass first quad. Mine was a 86 lt230s first one i ever rode was a 88 trx250r its was pretty fast i was 9yrs old lol
An old classic like my TRI-Z 250, they just rip and do amazing things
Tri z was a badass bike too! Fast!
This sound remember a gta San Andreas ❣❣

3:15 holy shit sounds like a demon
Haha, yep i like that big 2-stroke sound.
proper mate and also i have stomp 110 with zongshen 125cc engine so not as good as yours. your stomp kzr and ycf150 are amazing
Omg it’s been so long , I had a banshee 350 and my friend had the quadzilla . Miss those days

You guys were dynamic
80s 2 stroke quads. Super sound, super badass
I miss my old Zilla Flat Tracker that was stolen ! It had a LCS cylinder punched .060 over and lot's of mods. At Boyd Raceway in 1994 they clocked us at 92mph coming out of turn 2 !
Awesome. I’ve got a 1987 LT250R Quadracer. Bought it brand new. Still runs like a scalded dog.
Sounds unbelievable
Thanks, glad u liked. Sweet big bore 2-stroke sound.
Sure is :)
Unbelievable ride too. The shop sales manager bought one for himself and let me ride it. Good stuff! 😁
You ever clocked the speed on this pal if so what mph gives me shivers
Probably the best sound Ive ever heard!
Absolute music to my ears the sound of a well tuned 2stroke running riot in the Forrest 👏👍😃
Thanks
I had one back in the day and it was freaking great to ride.
I love that quad because I had a electric all plastic one with the plastic tires when I was 7. It was like a powerwheels toy based off the LTR it even days Suzuki 500 on it.
Ha I had one too
Me Too! I'm 30 and still Ride it
Thing could'nt sound any better, that is a great machine, wish they still made these...
Thanks! yes awesome old-school beast.

That fucking thing rips i love it
Ya its a beast :)
Even when you short shift that thing... it still goes fast! LOL! 🏁
Yep, this 500cc 2-stroke got some nice torque.
😂😂😂
Big 2 stroke likes to be short shifted, even 300cc dirtbikes have the best torque at low to mid range.
The low grunt, the echo......man....you gotta beautiful place to ride and an amazing machine to ride on 10/10
Love that big bore sound man.
I love your riding vids and how its set up
Thanks, glad u liked.
trxmh Awesome Lt! Whats with the road tires, do u ride it on asphalt?
Thanks! the previous owner put those street maxxis tires, now i have a Kenda klaw dirt tires. No i dont ride on asphalt.
trxmh I kinda figured u didn't. Bet there is a big difference with those on it
The quadzilla put everybody to bed.
This quad is a true beast love the vid u ride this thing like it's so easy
Yes, its a beast. Im not a very experienced quad rider but this 2-stroke quad is really fast :)
The fastest two stroke ATV ever made.. my brother had one looked just like it and had the same and pipe.. these would bust banshees asses.. lol.. we used to drag race them for money against the banshees and we would always win.. that's why they stopped making them so long ago
chad Sokes extra 150cc....I hope
@@codybaldwin7253 u take a quad zilla 500 stock against a stock banshee and the banshee will be severely embarrassed.. I've race Mx for almost 12 yrs I kno.. banshee's are fast.. but the reason they stopped making the Suzuki 500 way back was bc it was to fast and people were getting hurt and killes
they didn't stop making them because you guys beat Banshee's on them. They stopped making them for liability and financial reasons.
I miss mine 😢
Would like to see it get pinned through every gear
Too many trees for that I think, that point make me appreciate the desert a little more.
Beautiful track groomer you got there.
I love the Quadzilla 500 i had the same bike it was my Banshee killer most people didnt even know what it was its literally my favorite bike all performance was great the only thing that sucked was kick starting it on cold the kick back OMG but wow its a 100% badass . btw sold it for 6k because i all most killed my self but its all good .
The thing sounds freaking awesome
real artist ! i like your wear colors,and braaaaaps !!!
These Yellow/Blue MSR legend gears looks good with zilla. Thanks.
I have a Yamaha blaster and that is a great 2 stroke quad to have
Nice trails for that thing
Right, I'm thinking idk where around me there'd be roads that smooth, maybe National Forest, but BLM is rough
I road a Air cooled RM 500 Quad in Secret Harbour ,Perth WA about 1986 I think.It was big & Basic.I liked the Water cooled RM 250 engine Quad much more.
Man I could tear that place up looks fun
Trxmh ur the man!! Great vid by the way and I love the sound of that sweet 2 stroke
Thanks! the deep sound of big bore 2-stroke is so sweet.
They need to make these & all other 2 strokes, especially 500's, real men machines ....
Great video, beautiful sound💥
Thanks! classic big bore 2-stroke sound, braaap!
Awesome sound!
Definitivamente el banshee es el mejor quad
Trop beau ton quad franchement j adore
I had a kx 500, it was a fuckin missile with a saddle
Bring it Baaaack!
Wear headphones you can hear the sound echo
Fuck that pipe sounds good
That thing sounds amazing !
Dont get me wrong I'm a Suzuki fan and the fact its a 500 is badass but still its fuuuuggglly!! The banshee and 250r look so much better. Only if they ever made a trx500r!
You have to cut the front fenders down a bit to get the look i love the T shaped seat and blue frame engine combo
oh man im need drive this quad xD
The 500 was an absolute animal but the had some reliability issues the engines would hand Granade without warning. But they had sick nasty power though.
Suzuki has reliability issues?
87 had a head issue after that the design was fixed
Yeah not sure what your talking about I would put my lt500r against any honda or Yamaha quad any day
Gotta love Zilla's!
Suzuki should bring this back.
Yamaha should bring the Banshee 350 back.
sport quads need to all come back in general, especially2 strokes
such a sweet machine!!!!
Tires suck! But I love this quad!!
I see there are 217 idiots who gave this video a thumbs down. Jealously is an evil thing. Nice quad man!!!
Thanks man!
wicked power!
Best sound.
beatiful
Friend of mine had one. Silly fast.
Sounds awsome!
Are they hard to tune? Or issues with the jetting? I never heard one run really clean...
.. always sound like its detonating too. Dont get me wrong a 500cc 2 stroke on anything is great but just wondering.
Looks like fun
These where some great motors but man the chassis sucked compared to today’s stuff! Now stick some Modern racing 450 shocks on that bad boy and modern tires, and it would be as fast as anything out there!
Love those tires
amazing
Thanks
trxmh where do u live that u have all this space to ride!?
love the quad! when are you getting tires with traction?
Thanks! maybe soon.
Tyrell G much funnier without traction
There is no traction with a 500 Q
Fck traction, we hot boy driftin
Filmed like its Ken block
Great bike love the vintage 2 stroke but please atleast use some modern tire choices!
Sounds shit hot for a 2stroke
Magnifique bruit

I love how 500s sound almost like 4 strokes
What were they thinking with the front fenders🤦🏽♂️, it makes the quadzilla less aerodynamic.
hehe, yea these fenders are pretty goofy :)
nice, that area reminds me of swansboro on the NC coast?
What are you running for jetting? And is it the original carb?
Take those street tires off the back so you get some traction and then it would actually be scary.
already have a Kenda Klaw tires
Still running strong for an 80s quad. What kind of work has been done on it
Yes, running great, the engine is rebuilded and FmF Fatty exhaust system.
Sorry for the third comment but after getting deeper in the video yeah that thing's bogging quite a bit and just popping man if it was jetted right it would absolutely just scream
I have a 400cc 2 stroke Polaris I'm going to soup up. Not nearly as fast as this but should rip
I can feel the small of gas
Best ever
Nice Want one
Thanks! Its a really rare 500cc 2-stroke quad and hard to find
Best Video
Job well done!
Thanks
I would swap my girlfriend for this beast. Absolutely beautiful!
Hah :) the zilla is beast. Thanks!
Beast
nice bike
That sound
Atv in gta sa
Sounds a lil rich in the middle
yes, main jet was too big
Sounds like a banshee
Its rich on the main jet , just a little
yep, runs a bit rich on main
At certain ranges it almost sounds like a 4 Stroke.
Hey you should do a banshee 350 video.
Barley touch's throttle that bad boy was gonna
Suzuki powa🤙
мечта !!!!
What gearing and tyre sizes are you running please?
14000euro?
Mixed too rich.
Należy sie łapka i sub zapraszam wszystkich do mnie
Why does that sound like a banshee at first
