2 legendary quads still battling it out decades later. Makes me happy to see

This race has been going on for 30 years and still doesn't get old.. Be careful boys..

everyone whos nitpicking stuff they dont like abt the quads and the riders, just chill. they're just kids having a good time

When I was a kid back in the late 80's, these were the two quads to have. Great seeing them live.

Gents, thank you so much for living out my childhood dreams. We grew up on quads in Maine back in the 80's and where most boys our age had sports heroes up on their walls, we had pictures of these quads on our walls. Someday.

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. BadAss, Dudes...just BadAss!

I love both quads & it would be crazy not a lot of people ever had both machines at the same time, awesome race & awesome video

I still remember the first time I rode a Quadzilla 20 yrs ago. I had no clue back then how much of an impression it would have made.

I was waiting for this video. Lol. Awesome video man. Good race

I have had both the Banshee and the Zilla and the banshee will hang until 4th gear then the big 500 always walks away. Banshee power is much trickier to drag race because of a narrow power band so rider skill has a big influence on it. The Zilla is like a tractor and pulls hard even if shifts aren’t perfect.

I been waiting for this finally should be good race

Awesome video you inspired me to make more videos. I have a banshee that I’m planning to do a little build on my channel. awesome race! I love both of the quads. keep up the good videos.

5:58 what you came for

Aye, this video will be interesting to watch!👀 My personal favorite os the banshee.

Loved it!! Thanks for posting!!

Nice video:) Both quads looks dope😎

Two sweet quads bro loved the video keep up the good work!

I think when you do race, I think you need to do 2 races and have one person on each machine and how it goes have great day

Great video as always!

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

Really wish Suzuki would do a retro version of the lt500r like Chevrolet has done the Camaro. That would be awesome.

Wow!!! That actually turned out to be a good race at the quarter but then top end killed it.

Seems like everyone is a professional on these quads always got something to say about how it’s ridden y’all did perfect and I really enjoyed the video great race

Love the channel, enjoy more riding offroad than on the street, but still enjoyable

What a good race i love both of these quads Gread video

Need two ppl that actually know how to ride and shift these machines

Amazing machines! Love em

So the quad debate wages on! More importantly we should take the time to idealize these 2 stroke wonders. It was a time in history when motorsports was really fun.

We're seeing fewer and fewer of these quads, they're still out there but so expensive, as usual awesome video man

Wow thanks guys I really appreciate it I've been commenting this request 💯💪

"Everythings tuned in perfectly" Mmmmm not too sure about that bud.

Great!👍 Fun Video! Are you going to keep one for a while?🤔 looks like you have had a super summer of FUN!!😊🎥🙃🏍🏍🛵

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

If that banshee wasn’t clapped it would have threw him off every time he tried to wheelie

Bloody hell love the look of that banshee

wasnt neck and neck though, the suzuki clearly won..

Sick video bro

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

Long live that 2 stroke power, nice race guys. Ol Chuck seems to win all the races don't he. Lol 😂. You do need to use that last gear though, banshee power comes on from 3rd-6th gear.

I think the banshee is gonna win because it’s fast to go up Gears I think this is gonna be a great video 👍

I could ride around Glamis in 3rd gear all day with my 500. All the torque in the world to pull any hill or get yourself out of trouble. The perfect quad. Wheelies were kind of hard to hold though.

The two most iconic 2 stroke four wheelers clashing

Looks like so much fun!! I have ridden a lightly modded 2001 Banshee they are tooo much fun! The twin cylinder engine makes it sound like two separate motors its wild! Now I have my hands on a big bore 102cc CR85 custom build thats about as fast as a stock Banshee.

Just bought a 250 QR the other day, while I’d rather have had a 500 , it’s still a fun bike!

I have to say the old 500 still dominates.

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

Every time i see a 90s quad on youtube then ,i start to look for them on ebay

Mom and dad gotta love u making a track around the house that grass will be dirt by fall time lmao !

Fantastic quads fellas

I saw the quadzilla leading all the time... Not really neck and neck... But still looks fun!!

Two of my favorite bikes ever in one vid. Love it ! Drop a couple teeth on the rear sprocket on the banshee and it would be even closer. Thanks guys it looks like a blast.

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.

My dad witness this same matchup, he said the guy on the quadzilla didn’t know it was a 5 speed and raced the banshee staying with it head to head, once the guy finally realized he could kick it into 5th the banshee got dusted

I had a blue 01 banshee in high school miss hanging out with my buddies tearing up the woods

If the Quadzilla would have stayed n production like the Banshee for 20 years and had the aftermarket parts like the Banshee has had made for it over all the years i think the Zilla would be n a league of its on but it never happened so sad👍👍👍 but I would love to have either one lol

I had 2000 Banshee stock and that thing would hit 85 and I still had a lil more in her. That was some good times.

Whoever talks down on these guys are big bots these guys have great vids and great quads keep up the good work🤩

13 min. I'll never get back , thanks

Correct, I do need to see this race

Man why don't they make quads like these 2 anymore 2 legends

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

Damn both are awesome quads

Nice race

awesome quads i love the color

Awesome race that's the first time I have seen that on pavement there both quick 4 wheelers but I would guess that the banshee is a little more peppy but I never rode a quad zilla

Verry good video ! Never thought the banshee would keep up to that yellow beast 🤞

I think your aftermarket front shocks lowered the banshee a little. Super clean bikes though

Stock sprockets ? Anything beside the exhaust system done What's your location

This is interesting I think the banshee would win keep up the goodwork

Are those the ebay Amazon shocka of so how they holding up

When are you going to get and do a video on the honda atc 250R????

Gotta love the 2 strokes!!!!

Great video

Love it no replacement for displacement

Please do a race with the cr250r

Not sure the riderz are tuned just right!🤔🤣🤣 Nice bikes though.

#quadzilla fastest production four wheeler ever built

They're both awesome quads, I have 'zilla that'sa heavy beast to trail ride and prefer my 250r for that, but for straight line or duning, that zilla rules

So cool!!

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

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

Smells soo good

Should keep your eyes peeled for an old Kawasaki Tecate.

A quadzilla is only 6lbs heavier than a Banshee despite being way wider and longer.

So many haters in the comments,they bought it and they can do whatever they please with it,young guys having fun not hurting anyone,more power to you!

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.

You need to put the Honda 250R in that mix all 3 are amazing quads

Keep up the good work guys these are great fourwheelers dont let all these shittalkers let you down they both sound great.

Dream bikes, dream höuse and dream place where you live to have some fun. Enjoy

Both r sick!!!

I haven't watched the vid yet, but that Banshee is a monster. My buddy had one and yes I took it for a ride. I was quite impressed. Loved it!

Does the quadzilla have a key/ignition like the banhsee

I’m getting my first quadzilla in 2022 500 lt bored out 40 over can’t wait till it’s here in the shop now

Where and how do you get all these bikes..?

The banshee is a beauty

Luv back ground music

What size jets are in the carburetors on the banshee?

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

Quadzilla by far the better of the 2. Own an 87 quadzilla and it is the king of the mountain... Have an 08 700xx and smokes it every time. Keep up the good work guys would have liked to see multiple races in that not just one
