who would expect a 450 4 stroke to keep up with a 500 2 stroke in a straight line

 

ok well big deal a zilla can beat a yfz in a straight line put some jumps tight corners and all the fun stuff, you know not just going straight and see who wins

when me and my friends go out riding and one of my friends rides the raptor they think they are tough $hit because they can go faster than everyone in a straight line but when we get to the woods i have to slow down and wait for them if it's really technical trails

 

Blah blah blah.......Raptor owners think thier 660's are hot **** until they gety stuck in a mudhole that I just wallowed through on my little automatic 250, too. But in a straight line they're always puffy-chested against Warriors and EX's. And my Polaris 250.

When it comes to speed and raw power, the straight-shot drag is where to find this stuff. After all, you don't see Funny cars racing on Baja tracks, do ya?

 

who cares about speed and raw power if you can only go straight when somebody makes a quad just for drag racing i find it pretty stupid because that's the only thing you can do with it

 

by the way whoever said anything about a raptor and my raptor has never gotten stuck in mud or snow either where 400ex's, 300ex's, blasters, bayous, beartrackers, 250r's, banshees, and my friends 200 all got stuck

 

LT500s were not made just for drag racing. They can go anywhere an YFZ can go it just requires a little more skill. Unfortunately for some that is one thing money can't buy and is not included with the purchase of whatever happens to be the latest coolguy quad on the market at the time.

 

The district champ running his zilla this year on the ice had come in first in every race. At one of the races, 4 new yfz's showed up. All were piped and had some sort of aftermarket suspension lowering. He toasted them all.

Next race there, much smaller track this time. One yfz shows up, a new one. Young kid about 17. Kid finishes 10 lap feature over a 1/2 lap ahead of the zilla.

My headbolts busted that race, so I got to see the end. The zilla is a monster, but the yfz came to play.

 

Mud???????? Trails??????? Whoops?????? What the hell are those?? Quads are ment to be ridden in straight lines, used for hillclimbs, wheelies, and for cutting bad-*** donuts.

Its all in what you like, Im not saying that straight line performance is the entire world of quads, but it is in my world.

Besides, who wants to take a quad with 70hp, +4 swingarm and no fenders through the woods anyhow?

 

I had a Zilla, Very fast.
I just don't like how it use to rattle my teeth out of my head.
I think the Manufactures did a great job moving from the 2 stroke to the 4 strokes and keeping an enthusiastic punch.
