    I used to AMA race quads, started on a Honda 250r 2 stroke then moved to a Honda 440 EX (bored 40 over, not a misprint). I got to ride a 1989 LT500 and Ima tell you what, nothing, and I mean NOTHING can touch these things. They have so much torque and power there is no way I'd ever even consider racing one of these on a typical AMA track, unless I had a death wish lol. Seriously though, these things were serious beasts.

      Yea a 350 four stroke warrior basically! 700cc would have smoked him! I have road them all and nothing outruns the 700 in a straight line! Closest thing is some of the big 1000cc 4x4’s that’s been modified they pull hard on the straight to but yea man these ain’t that fast! Basically they have about the same hp as a raptor 700 but the raptor has it doubled on torque which means it’s a far stronger engine that will move you along a lot quicker and faster! But for a 80’s machine they where un real back then but make no mistake shit has got faster! And I should be biased as o just bought a new Suzuki GSX-S1000 sport naked! She’s a beast you wanna talk about torque holly crap never seen a bike that pulled like a diesel truck! From 2k Rpm it’s already pulling hard like far more then any other bike I ever seen! Even the busa doesn’t pull that hard at low revs it’s crazy!

After the ride on the can am my knees where knocking. "Not literally, lol". The Renagade has explosive power from top to bottom, rip the bars out of your hands power.

    Been watching these quadzilla videos for some years now and funniest thing is that most four stroke drivers can't drive two strokes.

But i can't blame them, these are ancient history.

    I rode my friends fathers lt5 back in the day. You didn't as much ride it as point it and pull the trigger so to speak. Only place it was really at home was the dunes.

      Why was the Suzuki motor not strong? Actually seems a bit weak in this video like there's no top end

      +Todd Simone the suzuki's were not that good as the other 250rs and banshee, they were built a little snappy but not high top end

      Todd Simone More than a few of these have had CR 500 R engines swapped in.

    • @McNamEvan
      @McNamEvan Před 7 lety +1

      Todd Simone the 500 smokers aren't top end motors like 250 or 125. that is dictated primarily by the length and shape of expansion chamber. tons of torque tho
