Fastest stock ATV ever produced?
as far as the fastest accelerating stock quad I must tell this in a flat 1/4 mile race A stock Ltz400 wil smoke an LT500r . and a 250r. STOCK OF COURSE
near the end of the quarter you will gain on the 250 but i think it will get there quicker than you. Mine has never lost to a z400. ever.
fastest stock accellerating quad is prob the YFZ or 450R. both will easily take your z400. i have the 'tame' 04 model and it hasnt lost to a z400 either(the 06 model will anihilate it)... not that the z is a bad bike, personally i like them and think they are a great value and have alot of potential and plan to get one...but for you claim its the "fastest accelerating stock quad" and that it smokes a 250R and a quadzilla is just ridiculous. that's unsubstantiatied BS and the ones that know the truth will not buy it at all. the quadzilla is still the fastest stock quad ever produced. period.

i've seen those old mag articles back in the days they released the banshee and zilla
zilla:79-81 mph
shee:77-78 mph
remember all those # come from perfect conditions '87 only model year!
all after those years the top speed may been dropped a little cauze of the laws we already known....

250ex: 54 MPH
300ex: 58 MPH
Warrior: 62 MPH
400ex: 65 MPH
Raptor: 69 MPH
Banshee: 70 MPH
DS650: 71 MPH
The numbers were something like that. I'd love to see "actual" numbers though.

fastest 4 wheeler
Hi there.
I am an LT500 owner, wondering what the fastest stock ATV ever made is, are the new 450 - 700 four strokes faster on the straight, lets say on a 100 meter dash, than for example the LT500´s? Not alot of bikes out here where I live, but some are starting to appear of the later models. Also once I saw a chart on line somewhere, stating power to weight ratio on alot of ATV´s, with the LT500 on top of the list, do you know where that list can be found?
regards
gnar

fastest stock four wheeler
heres how it went down in 1988, in a dragstrip, JULY issue of 3&4Wheel Action (before mags turned into useless, hyped rags):
LT500: 79+ MPH
Banshee: 77mph
In 2001:
Raptor self crowned itself the new king at 75-76mph, but YAMAHA said (between a banshee and raptor) that "it depends on who got a better start" that determined who won.
BRP also said the DS650 was the fastest quad out... but all records point to the same 75-77mph range.
2004:
Dirtwheels clocked the new 450s from honda and yamaha at 78+ mph stock(not in the original shootout, but a different issue). I dont think they were correct b/c they contradict themselves and state in future issues that the yfz does 74 and the 450r does 75. 450r will not do 80 stock. i have one.
however, either way, 74/75 is pretty impressive from a 450cc 4-stroke. not to mention they accelerate very well. with mods you will be in the 80 realm.
Conclusion:
the LT500 is the fastest ever from the factory. The banshee/raptor/ds fights it out for second fastest, with the 450s nipping. Some say a banshee isnt that fast nor can go that fast but we've had several of them and all stock they will do that.
OEM ATV Consent decree ruling back around late 80's limited quads to '75mph.' However, the wind, rider, conditions may have you going faster or slower.
i agree about the mag shootout but one mag said that they could compare newer atvs to an older one b/c it "wouldnt be fair"...to who? the old bikes or the new ones? b/c im telling you, a 450r still does not handle as good as a 250R, imo.
