The real test is do a pull off like this a couple times a day for yrs on end. That little 8 HP Suzuki 250 may not win today, but it will come back again and again to do it over. I was a hard core Polaris fan, but fate brought me a Suzuki many yrs ago and I became a believer. I may ride bigger more powerful ATVs on a day to day basis, but I will always keep a Suzuki LTF250F or LTF300F King Quad in my stable, just in case of a zombie apocalypse or alien attack... there is reliable and tough, and then there is Chuck Norris unbreakable - that is these old Suzuki's.
Grainsauce Just going by what the Suzuki mechanic at my dealer told me, said the 250 was around 8hp and the 300 KQ was 11. No doubt the Hondas may be rated higher, you get reminded of that anytime you go riding with them. And the reason the 250 sounds like a 2 stroke is because it will rev to around 11000 rpm.
Polaris Sportsman is way overrated. If it's as tough as what they make it out to be, then it should've dragged that Quadrunner like it wasn't even there.
You should find a 1998 Polaris XCR 440. It would make a great project and fun for the winter. Put a long track on her and a 700 engine in it and that will beat newer sleds.
+Payton Stadler i have one right now, i bought it for 1,300 bucks 2 years ago with around 3,500 miles or something near according to the seller. This thing really hauls ass for a 440, its alot more fun than my 02 edge X 600. It is also amazing on the trails. Out of all the sleds ive had, this sled has easily been the most reliable and enjoyable sled so far. Cant wait to ride the new 2017 XCR 600/800 in the future.
That's stupid, if you want a 700 just buy the 98 xc 700 and put the racer seat and clear tank on it instead of hacking up a 440. The 98 xcr 440, xc 600, and xc 700 all had the exact same chassis. I have a 98 xc 600 with the xcr style seat and a clear tank.
+Horsepower Garage i guess you have a point but i thought the xcr 440s from that year were clutched differently and had other stuff different from the 600s and 700s.
Those old quadrunners are fkn beasts!!.. stronger than most people think..that super low diff lock is brutal!
yes have one actually a 1987 250 body frame etc and dropped in a 300 motor into it flys like the savage and tought as iron
I love my Polaris sportsman 500 but I know my father in laws king quad 300 will pull a house off its damn foundation.
Lmao
KQ is the best utility quad ever made !
Love the front rack extension on the old LT! I've never seen one of those, but it looks like it was a Suzuki option. Those bikes are tanks!

Yeah its not 8hp they are rated at around 14 to 16, if you look at the old honda 125's and 150s they put out around 8-9 hp

Oh Yeah maybe there are at 8hp, dang I didn't know that rev

Bought one recently id like to buy a speedometer for it cause mine don't work

I had that same setup but with no long track and it was quick

+Horsepower Garage You should try to find the 98 xcr 440 hood and slap her on the 700.
hey louie wanna buy a 1998 polaris big boss 6x6 500? runs and drives great
I'll but it, how much you asking for it?
$1500, where are you from?
I never see one of these old Suzuki's with good tires.
They don't last long with all the torque and power they are work horses
My 88 LT250F has a massive set of Kenda Bear Claws, that thing is about unstoppable with those tires...
I got a set of mud bugs on my king quad 300 its a mini tank lol. Love the old beast it goes anywhere
@@excalibur3895 I have Kenda Bear claws on the rear and AMS Swamp Fox's on the front and it will go through about anything
Old suzuki 4x4 quads r the best ever. Polaris are total junk. If that Suzi had tires and unessasary weight like the Polaris it woulda smoked it.
Louie what happen to your rzr 900
Who cares rzrs suck
Do some more Polaris videos
Suzuki well made polaris scrap metals
second
first
put a 3 wheeler against that 250... my money would be on 3 wheelr
Payton Stadler 3 wheeler would lose fast. Probably get pulled over backwards
I currently have a Dr 225 and a Suzuki King Quad 300 I've had Big Reds and nothing will compare to the king quad
Lmao 3 wheeler would not have a chance
the kingquad and the quadrunner would laugh as they pull that 3 wheeler back over in even low gear dont even need super low
