I am unfamiliar with this quad, I have never seen one in person. What are they? (2 or 4 stroke, Suzuki?, when were they made, are they better than a 250R) Any info is good info.

 

its a suzuki lt500...500cc 2 stroke...basically the fastest quad around..

its not made anymore...it was originally made for MX, but the only 2 stroke that was ever any good in the handling department was the 250R...the 250R is better in EVERY aspect besides a drag race...the 500 murders a 250r in a drag race..the lt500's a great dune bike

 

the lt500 are a nice quad but i no alot of poeple who had problems with them. they are fast when they are running good.

 

these quads are really cool fastest, most stock hp ever on any stock quad. but i consider electric start and reverse to be must haves, so this bikes not for me

 

it was a 500cc 2 stroke suzuki made in late 80's early 90's

 

Would a LT 500 beat a Banshee in a drag race? What would one of these be worth now?

 

it would easily take a shee in a drag, stock for stock. ive seen a lot of them selling in the 3200-3800 price range most guys who are selling one are asking about 3500

 

these are decent quads.... But they do have there share of problems....
Prob... not a good quad for someone who does not know how to work on them...... (high mant. i know this)

But when they run... they run very very well...

yes stock for stock they will smoke a banshee..... no questions..

do just a little work to them (performance wise) and they will be hard to beat with a semi built banshee.....
i know this from exp....

50 H.P stock do just a little porting and the right pipe maybe a carb upgrade your at 65 H.P.

 

dollar for dollar you cant beat a quadzilla. sure they had some problems but if you fix them they are plenty reliable. i hardly ever had to work on mine and i would beat alot of banshees. mine was putting out 70hp. to get 70hp out of a banshee thats a lot of money

 

i think there both very fast quads
