Suzuki LT 500 quadzilla
 

Anybody remember these things...I remember them being stupid wicked way back... I also just found one that a guy has completely rebuilt , probably like buying a one year old 4-wheeler...

My question is what is it worth... How does it compare to 4-wheelers today... is it still bigger and badder than the competition or is it a has been that isn't worth anything..

Thanks for your input...

yes i remember them! almost bought one, but got LT250r a few years back saw a few for about 3k, i would say it could hold it's own today especially with a few mods, knew of one that did 1/4 miles at about 110mph. :eek:

Well, the 500 is with out a doubt the baddest quad still. Top end about 90+/- mph stock They will still out two-stroke power anything around....and 4 strokes. Been on a banshee? A little faster than that. I would still rather have a banshee....Newer technology. Looking for a banshee? There is a nice one forsale here with toomy pipes and bunch of other mods. Apears very will kept. Loan me the money and Ill buy it in a second and I ride bikes. Your not far chrome. Come get it.

They use to be worth a lot but since Honda Suzuki and Yamaha, came out with the new four strokes they have dropped. My good friend has been collecting Quad Zillias and Honda 250r's for 15 years at least. Now they are worth about half. We thought they wouldn't make them any more for the liability. Still he's got a garage full of bikes from the mullet days.

what about price.. anyone have any thoughts on what it is worth in dollars.

The banshee or the zilla?

Overall condition and "freshness" on the motor rules. Anywhere from $1,500 to $3K I would say.

I've had both a LT250R (1987) and a 2003 Banshee. I'd prefer the Banshee, but I've also never been on a 500.:cool-smiley-011:

on the quadzilla.. that is what is on my mind at the moment...

They are balls out fast in a straight line but the new stuff is so much lighter and handles so much better unless you are just going to street race it you better off with a new 4 wheeler.

You can find them for peanuts today. I have my 87 250 quadracer that I bought new & raced it when I was in high school & it's not worth 1000 bucks (I have about 5k in the motor alone). I just bought a KFX450R last summer & a Can-am DS450X this winter. They are just as fast but don't have the 2 stroke rip. But on a mx track I'll take either of my 4 strokes & kill my 250. Also the new quads handle so much better & they even turn without having to powerslide them. I still love my 250 but it doesn't measure up to a new 450 quad. BTW get the 500 over the Banshee I can pull a Banshee on my 250 (BTW Team Suzuki did the motor & trans. work so it's bad a$$)
