I was wondering if I would be better with a
500 quadzlla or a 250 quadracer I ride at a rideing park in northwest Ga. called K Park Springs. Mainly woods with lots of nice hills mainly slower rideing 2ed-4th gear
(on a warror,300ex)so what do you all think would be best?


96 300ex
99 warrior
94 ktm 440exc

I have a Zilla and am addicted to the power and exclusivity. However, I would suggest the 250 for you. A modified 250 will make your current quads seem like razor scooters! In tight quarters (i.e. the woods) the 500 feels huge and handles that way. I know I would be better off without mine. The zilla has become a monkey on my back. My sanity has been washed away by the incessant flood of addrenaline through my skull.
It is too late for me now but you haven't been down this road yet. CONSIDER YOURSELF WARNED!

yeah get the 250 for your kind of riding. and it its not enough you can always buy a big bore. i'm sure it'll be fine though.

The 500 is the fastest quad ever made but does feel huge when turning. The 250 will be better for you and your woods riding.

I have A Lt250r, Now this thing is wickedly powerfull Sometimes its hard to hang onto the bars. Ive never yet ran into a situation where I didnt have enough power!I coulnt evan begin to imagine the power A Quadzilla has! Id probly have an accident in my pants getting on one for the first time.It would be like straping a rocket to your *** and lighting it!For your riding I would get a Lt250r though because, Like everybody else said the quadzilla is pretty big.

Thank you for all of your replies but I had a bike that I could not pass up!!!!! An old woman that I have known for 2 years or so asked me if I would clean out her lately deiced husband work shop. I was cleaning and I find a tarp covering some thing so I uncover it and it is a mint condition quadzilla. So I ask her what she was planning to do with the bike. She said that she would give me the bike when I finished the work! lol I thought she was kidding! She was not! She did as she said she gave the bike to me!!! What might make you under stand this is that she has no children. Ok back to the quad I took it home and started it in about 15 min. yea!!!! But the biggest down side is that the tires had been flat for too long and wont hold air so I have to buy some new tires before I can ride. Other than that I don’t know of any thing that is keeping me from riding the quad. Can you say lucky?!!!!
In its current shape I think that I could get $3000 or $4000 for it. It has one scratch on the rear finder and some surface rust (very little) on frame. From what she said he had just rebuilt it.
When I get paid at the end of the week I plan to buy 4 new pure sport bandits.
Then I will be riding.
Sound too good to be true?
I will have pic. soon

sorry if hard to read!

Man, I can't believe your luck! That is totally unbelievable, did you let her know what she was giving away? I wouldn't be too ticked about having to buy new tires, that's such a small investment in something so great.
