The 700's do win races even bigger than the Baja like the Dakar! Those apples taste great by the way!

The Dakar Rally - the greatest adventure ever!: 2010 Dakar rally - quad category - final results

 

i would vote for suzuki and honda
the ltz's are winnin big time just went to a race and two ltz;s came first and second with honda 450r right behind them but in the 2 stroke class i would go with in racing on tracks i would go with the trx250r then lt250r then straight top speed deff. the lt500r then the banshee

 

I have a renegade, my son had a Raptor 660r piped,K/N, and jetted. We raced on hard packed sand at Florence Or. I beat him by 3-4 lengths. He sold the 660 and bought a 525 Outlaw. It was a closer race but I still got him by 2-3 lenghts. He gave the 525 to his wife and got a stock Banshee. We are so close now that the jump at the start will determine the winner. All the quads have paddles and I lanch in 4x4. I have raced a 450R, and raptor 700 both stock and beat them. I have been beat by a LT450r, didn't talk to the guy after so I don't know if it was stock. I'm ready for them all now as I put an 04 GIXXER motor in an 86 LT 250r frame with 25" paddles. It makes the Renegade look silly. Can you say 14,000 rpm's. and 6 gears.

 

I sincerely hope you go see a doctor before you ride that. If you're body isn't ready for it, you're arms are gonna be ripped out of their sockets.

Heck, that thing is gonna scare a few things that stay on the street.

 

Everyone that sees it says the same thing. It looks good almost stock and they don't pay any attention to it untill I start it up. I just finished it and I've only rode it around my shop. There's only enough room to get to 3rd gear. Felt like I was going aroud 60-70 in 3rd but never even thought to glance at the speedo to see if it was even close. I'm shaking like a leaf every time I get off of it. I'll put the GPS on when I take it to Florence.
My son- in- law has a 700 V-Force and I pull away from him on my Renegade. He gets beat by the 660r, Outlaw, Banshee, and a 400ex, A freind has a YFZ 450 and I beat him by 3 lenghts also.

 

ltr needs to be up higher

 

I understand the Suzuki 500 because its powered buy a crazy RM500 2 stroke motocross motor, but if you including ATV not made any longer, did'nt Kawasaki also make a 500 ATV with a KX 500 motocross motor at about the same time as Suzuki made theres? I forget what it was called thought.

 

Now I remember it was called the Kawaski 500 Tecate 4. The 500 Quadzilla's only compation at the time

 

The Lt500 Suzuki Definatly gets top. Now acceleration no it can definitaly be beat at that. But bone stock it beats everything else in top speed barley.

 

Tecate 500 is something somebody made it was never a kawasaki production model..

Me and my best friend growing up used to race our wheelers I had a 89 lt500 and he had a 90 banshee we only piped and jetted them my 500 was a little faster off the bottom making me win by maybe a couple quad lengths after we both hit the end of our top gear..

I dont even know where Im going with this LOL except banshees are pretty fast..
