Every time I see one of these I wonder why Suzuki never made a liquid-cooled, power-valved RM500, it would have been every bit as good as the CR and KX500s I'm sure. Another great vid Max, thanks for posting!!

I recently put a billet clutch in my buddies 1989 quad Zilla. It has gobbs of torque, is quite comfortable and nice to ride. Definitely a thumbs up machine for me. A toad legal Lt500 is super rare !

So glad you’ve started featuring ATVs on this channel, hard to find good ATV content, keep it up 👌

The fact you can make any quad street legal is the most amazing thing ever and wish you could do it here in Canada. There's some wicked Yamaha Raptor 700s over there built for the road! I have an old magazine page from DirtWheels about two Raptor 700s from there and one has a Yamaha R1 1000 street bike engine swapped into it! Absolutely the cleanest most mental quad I've ever seen💯💀💀💀 That'd be unreal to see in person

Hit the dirt Brother! Much love from Canada. I raced one of the beasts flat track as a teenager in the 90s. A 15 tooth front sprocket will get you to 90 MPH before you run out of RPMs

I highly modified one. Two motors, one built by CT racing. Man it had power, reliable and fast. Best quad I owned so far.

I’m half way through restoration of an 87 500 Zilla & would love to see a vlog of one on the dirt. It’s what they was made for.

Absolutely gorgeous quad

I had a completely stock one I purchased as a salesman an Nicholson's in Ann Arbor, MI... I paid for it on my Amex. Pure Heaven! Traded it for a Bedroom set just before I moved to Commiefornia. Once in Commiefornia I found a nice used Trinity Stage 4 and had it shipped to me. Didn't have the low end the stock had and I eventually traded it. Considering taking the plunge again as I've never had anything as much fun as these beasts! In-between I got a 1986 Honda TRX 250R... one of the BEST HANDLING quads ever and I loved it, but the tranny grenaded and I sold it off. Now I have a Raptor 660 and 700... they're decent handling machines, but I miss the handling of the TRX most, and I did NOT buy the Quadzilla for Handling... I bought it for raw power!

Awesome machine!

Performance Bikes magazine back in the 90's featured a quad with an inline four cylinder 500cc Krauser two stroke engine, which I think was from a GP sidecar. Don't think it was road legal though.

Bit of a shame he never hit the power band. He said it was a bit light in the front end so I would imagine it would lift the front when giving it a good handful. That's what we want to see! I can't believe that is road legal. We're pretty casual about many things here in NZ, but there is no way this would get registered on the road in NZ. Great content again Max.

My brother had an 89 one a fair few years ago. It was an animal. It would keep with my CR500 from a start. Bought it from a bike shop by Darwen and he sold it to his mate from by Chester. Hopefully it's still around.

You need to try a banshee 350 sounds are unbelievable

Ian Ffitch, in NZ, has a GSXR 1000 motor in his LTR, "Rocket" Ron Kirkman stuck a Blackbird motor into his Honda quad (he may have turboed it) and someone has a WRX quad and another bloke put a helicopter turbine into one. Nuckin futters. I really like that quads are road legal in the UK and love this build, standard, but better.. Smells nicer, too, I bet.

I would love to see a quad war with ‘Zilla vs. Banshee on the track. Piloted by bike racers😂😂😂

hit the dirt on that beauty! Thanks!

I raced a built 500 quadzilla! I was 14 racing up comp hill in Pismo California. I could hardly kick it over

Do you know anything about the biggest 2 stroke ever produced? 1981 Maico Mega 760. Would be very nice if you could find one and make a video about it. There is almost no information about it. 👍

There weren't many here in the US either good on ya 😂 we can have trikes here but no quads on the road 😂

I built one of those engines, all new with a wiseco and put a compression release in head. It would run even with my cr500 in favorable conditions for the quad.

Very nice ATV! Why don't you do a dirt shootout with a Banshee and a Cannondale quad? Special 2T versus Special 4T ATVs.

Put one of these in a TRX-250 Chassis to ride in the deserts of Southern California.....What a DUNE machine. Wayne

That thing is definitely built

Cleanest zilla ive ever seen

Wicked 👍🏻👍🏻😍

The quadzilla is most at home in the dirt of course I want to see it I have ridden one before and they are so much fun

what a beast

It's much quicker and easier to list the things that are stock on the bike 5:12 is the frame stock? Because other than that I see that maybe the push bar the headlight the seat maybe maybe the cables the grips 5:22
