LT500 VS. Raptor
#35
sorry but no pics....its nothing special, its old, its black, its got a supertrapp pipe.its real hard to start, due to the compression, ive only weighed enough to start it for about a year, i weigh 140 now and its still hard to kick (i hate that)
all it can be used for is trail riding due to the dual spring suspension...its not a very good mx'er
i didnt really have any intent to be mean to thrust, but he says hes been trying to get a quad for 2 years and hes 13, and now hes giving up
if i can do it succesfully, he can...i may be almost 2 years older than him, but...i FINALLY got the quad i had wanted for 3 years.

Hey Pismo, I just wanted to see the XL because my buddie has one in MINT cond. (only 700 ORIGINAL miles, its a brand new 28 y/o bike) that I have not seen yet. just curious.
Anyway, about the quads. I did the same thing, only im a little older.
I was 21, (now 22). I got my first decent job, wasnt even out of my probation period.... and financed a brand new 2001 400EX.
Loved it. Sold it. didnt want to payment after a while, well it wasnt so much as I didnt like being 6 thousand dollars in debt.
Sold it, bought my 350X to play with, sold it... bought my 99' 400EX, sold it......... now have my Zilla, and will not sell it. Its MY machine. It is just what I have been after. wide, too fast, extremly stable, tons of suspention travel.
Thrust needs to work, and save. thats all there is to it.

hey i belive a stock quadzilla can beat a stock raptor..........hey if a stock banshees top speed is just as fast as the raptor the 500 can win..........but if you guys have some extra cash and have a ds650 get the pami stage 3 kit which brings it to a 760 and it can out run modified banshees and quadzilla's, but it about 5 grand.. YIKES!!

I dont know about that. maybe a stock qaudzilla. I read somewhere that a piped zilla geared up to a 13 or a 14 tooth front sprocket will go close to 110 mph. my buddie with a zilla agreed to this. he has hit 80 mph on his stock one before and he has it geared a little lower too. and that was with a radar gun. he's friends with a city cop. didnt get in trouble either. he wasnt maxed either cuz he had a warped rear rotor that was making him vibrate to all heck. A DS650 with a stage 3 kit might keep up with it in quickness but not top end. 2 strokes rapp out higher. it would if you change the gearing but there goes the quickness. Ive road both, and they are both arm stretchers. That would be one race I'd like to see tho. If I had to place a bet my money would still be on the zilla or shee.

trx250 i dunno i guess we would have to see it to belive it though that would be a cool race.....but you must also think that its about 5,000 for the stage 3 kit and it doesnt take that much to upgrade banshees and quadzilla, so you have to think about price.....persoanlly im not much into top speed i enjoy racing and trail rides but if i had the money i think id go with the ds650
