Our world needs this sport back, brand new 2 stroke race quads! Let’s get it going!
Absolutely love it. More old sport quad & new sport quad content pls! Been reading Dirt Wheels (for 35yrs) + 3 & 4 Wheel Action magazine bk in the day. Own mint '10 YFZ450X Bill Ballance & '21 Raptor 700R-SE now. -Ohio
Screamer! What a beautiful machine. Serious ripper!
When i was kid i used to drool over the dirtwheels magazine
Ditto.
What a great bike man. This is a beautiful build on this one by Duncan racing
Dirt wheels .. I’ve read your magazines for years we readers want to see factory builds like super cross bikes and hot new products we wanna see aluminum frame trx 450 quads show more hybrids like back in the day you guys helped usher in the 450 era I believe you can do it again with new media content Honda and Suzuki need to get back into the sport quad game I would love to see a turbo twin cylinder 4 stroke banshee they have the motors to do it and throw in some electric here and there. You guys need new blood who has passion for the sport but I love your content it just needs new out of the box things into it ! Big Fan!!!
"You guys need new blood who has passion for the sport" thats exactly what it would take to see even half of what you're asking. you'd never see a twin cylinder turbo sport quad even if the market was booming imo. why? if you havent noticed, every "fast" stock sport quad is around the high 30s to low 40s peak hp-wise with a low to high 70mph top speed. why? safety, emissions and the old "gentleman's agreement" on top speed the manufacturers set years ago. no stock quad goes over 77 or 78 mph. some will say there stock 1000 4x4 goes low 80s, but thats likely a speedometer reading, not GPS verified. with that said, the rest seems pretty realistic IF we had the new blood, but beer and the means to carry it are more important to people today. side x sides it is! (not for me... them lol)
Thank the market influenced by yuppies also. Every d bag wants a pos 30k$ rzr
@@powersportsenthusiast1986 if they don’t care to put 230 hp motors in side by sides then why not put higher horsepower motors in atvs? No law says they can’t. If Honda Suzuki Kawasaki brought out new 450 sport quads the market would go crazy but they seem like they are trying to get away from it with side by sides around here Yamaha shops can’t keep a yfz450r in people buy them cause no other option but I think the yfz450r is probably the best platform for all around but your right these yuppies love them side by sides and when people quit buying them like they have they will start pushing sport atvs again
@@jordanvance1193 bud, golf carts and atvs arent the same thing. utvs have roll cages and seat belts, not to mention the law suits in the 80s before utvs were a twinkle in the manufacturers eye (which is why they disappeared the first time). besides who makes them and 4 wheels, utvs and quads have little in common. i doubt you'll see a sport quad resurgence , which would mark the 3rd time. the manufacturers are probably over it. yamaha sells every sport atv they make, but there is rarely any being sent to dealers, so that isnt surprising
@@powersportsenthusiast1986 the lt500 stock did like 87 88 mph wdym they only did like 78 stock quads?
What a atv 🤩 i have a 87 frame with a 90's motor in parts , but i need to build it from the ground 🙈
Loving the sport quad content.💪🔥🔥🔥 #savesportquads
about time a 2-stroke build
Dream quad for sure
Where do I get a gusset kit at ??
The "KING" Suzuki LT 500
$17K all in? What is RWHP??? Better be over 75.
It won’t be anywhere near 75bhp with that crappy pipe.

What do I think I think he puttered around like a kid
Alot of people forget this is the biggest 2 stroke that came out and not the banshee. I wonder why this quad doesn't get as much love as the banshee?
Banshee owners are a breed of their own, brain dead lol
It had a much shorter production run... In my experience the banshee was more fun to ride. The sound, the feel, and the looks of the banshee were better. Aftermarket support for the banshee was also 100x better. The 'quadzilla' felt very heavy. You had to kick it twice as hard to start it, and the heavy feel continued the entire time you were on it.
You should have tracked down a new Oem set of plastics .

Show
To be honest the old 500 motor was a beast but the all steel frame was to heavy and the suspension was horrible. I had an lt250 and it was like driving a metal dump truck compared the near perfect trx 250r. It has like 5.5 inches of front travel and way to heavy up front. Most folks would simply just modify a banshee in the 2 stroke world.
Incorrect
Does anyone make an aluminum frame for the quadzilla?
Poor quadzilla 😢
Sounds like it's boggin and low on power but I'm not riding it
Get somebody that knows how to rip the engine and push the two stroke to the max
Agreed.
You dont rev these out like regular 2 strokes. They make midrange power
I'm hearing a lot of bog. WTF?!?
Those 500s are absolute turds, a trx250r is superior in every way, and the newer Yfz450rs now days absolutely drag em lol
If you want
To stick two stroke go banshee or 250r that’s about it lol
I say it's a plastic it's a 250 not a 500
Oh yeah well you must know everything i'm sure you are the life of the party
I had 3 2::88. And a 92. 87 the head bolts was 7. 88 they changed it to 8. it's a 87. How many blow head gast. You replaced. 90- 92 was the best yrs
