LT500 is the fastest production quad ever produced. Around 50HP at the rear wheels with only 392lbs to weigh it down. The banshee is not that far behind however.

LT500
392LBS/50hp (56.6HP with pipe and porting)
7.84LBS per 1 HP

Banshee
386LBS/39hp
9.89LBS per 1 hp

DS650
420LBS/47hp
9.78LBS per 1 hp

Which is better? I'd say that the quadzilla would be better for sand because of its much wider and longer stance with only 6lbs more weight than a banshee. The down side is the LT500 engines are sometimes tempermential, expecially when modifyed. If only suzuki would have perfected this beast and kept it in production. Everyone would be asking whats a banshee?

I'd like to have a banshee with a 426 HEMI tucked between the frame. I think that would be original But it can be a tad bit difficult to kickstart however LOL

87 banshee
99 banshee

I agree, I dont think anyone will ever put a 500cc engine in an atv chasis. They are a true legend and I will pull mine out of the garage after 10 years. The banshee is a great machine but to many people have them...and then your just the same as everyone else.

Its sorta common sense that the LT500 is faster. 500cc's vs 350cc's. Come on guys! But the Banshee is far more reliable and popular. I'm not sure about acceleration.
