Yeah thats it. I havent really had a chance to ride it yet. Every nut, bolt, bearing, and bushing are new. Hopefully the motor is the same way haha. We will see how it looks this weekend.

That is soooo beautiful -- hope it stays that pretty for a long time -- might just get 2-stroke of the month if there weren't so many shee freaks on here!
What is a zilla like? There aren't any around here, I've never even seen one in person. I've heard that they pull like a 450 on the bottom and middle, but they have a powerband still, so they are much more satisfying to ride than their 4-poke brethren. Is this close? what about top speed? and lastly, who would win?
1.stock shee vs. stock zilla -- DEAD STOCK
2.shee with bolt ons vs same mods on a zilla (pipes, filters, jets, ect)
3.flotec shee vs. flotec zilla (aggressive trail/dune port with recommended mods)

Wow Jhonny I dont know what to say. That question will open a can of worms. Stock vs. Stock I would go with the zilla but when you start modding those banshees it gets a little scary. You never know. I would love to own a banshee again but my ass is just to big. 6'6" 275lbs. The Zillas do pull like a 4 stroke but it is just better. The power band is strong but not like a 250. Its a lot smoother. It will grab ya and try to buck ya off. You think it will stop pulling at some point but it never does. Before ya know it you are doing 70 mph. I think a stock zilla will run about 70-75 mph. But it gets there in a hurry.

wow I'll say. stock for stock, zilla. After that the aftermarket for the shee is too much to overcome. Damn 350 twins lol

I will say stock for stock the zilla would win, my cousin has a decently modded zilla and used to pick on me when my shee was stock with toomey t6's on it, always wanted to drag race. So now that I have built my shee and have a 421 setup, all of a sudden he dont wanna race no more, it's funny how that works, all the jokes about....theres no replacement for displacement....seem to have went away, he doesnt seem to bring that up anymore...and we didnt even have a race since I built it, I let him ride it once and I guess he made up his mind...lol

i would love to ride a zilla but i do love my shee dearly and i could never trade it for a zilla, i would just buy one maybe

OK dont start a war. Give a lt500 71 more cc.s and you will have your self a race. The thing about the whole banshee lt500 argument is that you cant compare them. One has a street bike motor and one has a 5 gallon bucket for a piston. Totally different machines. Its like comparing a 500 hp supra and a 500 hp hemi cuda.

I am not starting a war, not once in my post did I say anything negative about the Zilla, just telling you guys what happend between me and my cousin is all, and just to let you know, why would you give the zilla 70 more cc's, even with my added cc's i am still 80 under him, and it wouldnt even be a race. But please, I am not starting anything so dont take it that way.

ive seen zillas at the hill at glamis and gordons well and they are fast bikes, i saw zillas and banshees battling half the day and they were all close races, sometimes the zilla would win and viseversa and these guys were good riders, it was exciting seeing the zillas in action though
