Cool quad but In a few words, thats one big -@$$ machine :shock: !
It felt fairly quick but you sure can't throw it around. And no reverse. I couldn't believe that for the money it cost.
At the drag strip, there was this DS, a KFX 400, LT-z400, Cannondale Cannibal, a bunch of 400ex's, an '88 TRX 250R, a couple warriors and a few other polaris atvs, 250 & 300exs and such. No Raptor, Banshee, or Blaster. But a few were running around there as well as a New predator. They never got in a drag that I saw.
It was a pretty long drag strip in a sandy river bed. probably 350-400 yards. The TRX-250R took every race. The R had a Paul Tuner pipe, not sure what other motor mods it might have. Followed right on the heels of the R was the cannondale. Then a toss up for 3rd, 4th, and 5th between the LT-Z, KFX, and DS. Then the 400exs. It was cool to see all these new quads run against the 250r. I just wish one of the Banshees, Raptors, and the predator would have jumped in too while we were there. Yes the R ruled and I'm sure there was some rider abililty figured in on the other quads. I was glad to see the R take top honors.
As for the 86 Tecate, It's time for a top end and major tune-up. :( I hadn't realized the days of monster top end power have left it. first time I've dragged it in quite a while. I should have been running with the 250R, but couldn't even take the KFX and LTZ. They'd get me off the line and I couldn't recover. And I sure wouldn't call the KFX and LTZ400 slow anyway.
oh well, there's always someone faster. And it was awesome to see all these different sport ATVs out on the trails. They are all great ATVs.
