Default Tecate Or Lt500 Quadzilla???

I have a chance to buy either a Quadzilla or Tecate. I do a lot of woods riding with sharp turns but go to the dunes every now and then. Which one would accelerate faster, jumps better, turn better, and better top speeds. I also like a lot of power and I am 6'2" and about 190 pounds. Any input would be helpfull. Thanks.

If you want power and ride dunes--Definately the quadzilla
If you want to take sharp turns--I'd take the tecate

88s have the 7 stud head. (good thing)

I dont know if you have ridden it yet... but for woods riding.. you wont need to WAKE it up.
It will wake you up.

yeah, definitely go with the Zilla. There are lots more parts available for them than the Kawi. Almost everything you can still get new from the Suzuki dealer for the Zilla, where as Kawi discontinued almost everything for the Tecate.

Definately get the Zilla. The tecates were notoriously unreliable. Thats why you don't see very many of them.
