Check this out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4I2fWXNGXwc...amp;t=t&f=b Click metalalien79 and take a look at some of his other videos. He clocked it at 93 mph.

Didn't play for me.....

couldn't watch the whole thing, he needs to mount the camera so it doesn't move! It was getting annoying with the camera moving all over!

Not to be a hater.....but that bike isn't all it's cracked up to be. He lives in my town. I guess you have to appretiate the fact someone would supercherge a quad..........but.......................not my time and money

Its different. Here it is with different pipes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWQ62Qnib4w

What kinda trani does he have on that thing? I never hear him shift? Is it a lockout and he is just jamin gears all the time?

Oh i just realized it was a kfx 700 not a kfx450. Dur! lol. Do i get a prize for the stupidest question of the month?

It's OK, we all understand you live in Oregon.... wait so do I. j/k

is it turbo charged or supercharged< supercharged would be more sensible as most quad engines dont rev high enough to really "fire" up a turbo, and 93 is easily acheaveble without a turbo.

A team of highly trained monkeys has been dispatched to deal with this situation

Your right. I screwed up on the title. Its supercharged.

I think we have our team assembled and ready.

I am not trying to be a hater either but I was not impressed.. did not seem to pull that hard on the video and the belt slippage wwas driving me crazy just watching the video... I think that some of these 450's on here would kill it from bottum to top. just my .02

yeah. they dont look that fast. seems slow in the vids

That thing is a POS and an accident waiting to happen. That man has too much time on his hands. Just think about how much weight he added. Weight to hp ratio would not be worth it just put a turbo on it and be done.

That seemed like a big waste of time and money to me. I was really not impressed; I think my kid’s blaster is faster.

Did you guys see the video of him racing a KFX730 with a 30 shot of nitrous, and he got smokedby a few bike lengths. Not impressed at all.

i really caint imagine that thing not being fast. but its not, somthing is definatly not right. i mean just running achohol with nitro ( im assuming thats what hes doing) should make a stock bike rip hard and i dont understand how he just swaps from gas to alky doesnt it take much more alky then fule to run correctly??


JOSH

Would be nice to see him go up against a trx450r or a yfz450 so we could see just how fast it is..

Here he is against a Raptor and I cant tell what the other one is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7m3zn2KWfKo I asked him if he ever had it on a dyno and he hasnt but claims it has 100-110 hp at the wheels. That seems hard to believe for me.

It runs good. As far as a KFX700 not being fast.... If anyone lives near St. Louis and wants to find out drop me a pm. I am sure Metal would have no problem running anyone who lives close to him as well.

Does anyone here (w/ a fast trx) goes to Busco Beach? Mine is not supercharged, it's just a little 715 and I still haven't race a fast (as fast as mine) 450r. And I am dead serious. Check my videos on youtube, they speak for themselves. You'll see to different kfx's (1 blue, 1 orange) well it's the same one, I just change to orange when I dropped the BBK. You all would love my race against a KENZ Cycle raptor 760r.

You guys have no idea. He would eat you alive. Both those videos are not good. 1st one is just tuning and second one he was not really runing becasue it was too hot for the supercharger. He will have some nice video T-day this year. If anyone goes to dumont he is always at the hill on big weekends.

yes that bike is very slow, I think some of you should meet up with him at Dumont and race.

make sure to come back and post on this topic afterwards, lol.

by the way he built that entire bike including the motor, anyone else done that?

camo, see this? :)

Oh I see it. :lol:

The 700 hundred frankenstein bike was at the hill(Banshee hill at Dumont) again this past weekend. I saw him out there Saturday morning. He blew a head gaskett or something. I think he brakes something everytime he goes out. Oh well, not my time or money

looked like he got owned by a yfz450 in one video, and out ran a 250r?

didnt look like he wanted anything to do with the stretched banshee's

looks like he has an idea, just hasnt worked it out yet

im calling B.S. on the 100+ rwhp (he has no problem keeping the front end on the ground)

Here is some of his reply's on u tube. this is a race with another KFX

(Reply)
Yep, the KFX I'm racing makes about 110-117 at the crank. That's without NOS. On nos add about 60hp to that. Still has a hard time getting to 70mph up the hill because our bikes are so heavy. We need all that HP just to keep up with the lighter bikes.

Does the Turbo Busa Hillbilly Banshee have any trouble keeping his front wheels on the ground? Some quads require wheelspin to launch forward instead of up.

You guys need to learn a little history on this quad before you start picking it apart. I'm not sure there's even one of you that would hang with him.

Ya Ive seen thoes vids and well, looks like the people you race....ummm, dont know how to ride. Espically the kid the crf. If either of you could keep the power on the ground and race in a straight line that may be a different story.

But for the most part, keep racing them if you feel good beating them. Aint nothing like racing a bunch of beginners to get the self esteem up.

Ya I bet the rest of you would love to race my TRX with a Taco Bell powered jet motor... Oh ya it has built in wings too. LOL

Here's the thing on the 70mph wall up a steep sand dune. He has enough torque out of the hole to put a good distance on a 450 by 200 feet that you probably wouldn't catch him by the time he got to the top...even if you topped out at 80mph.

Dude we think its cool that he can make something work like that. all we are saying is that for having a roots blower with more cubes then two of are motors, it should be faster, and maybe it is now, we are just going by the video,

also that busa banshee you talk about is stretched like 10" in the front and 10 " in the back. its not in a stock frame, if the kfx has 110whp in a stock frame is should be pulling the wheels just a lilbit don't you think? I mean its hard to keep the front end down when shifting with a 55hp 450, i am not saying your bike has to have the front end in the air to be fast...


All in all its a cool blower set-up

DEREK

it is stock frame but streched swingarm and 25" rear tires keep the front down. Plus a 450 is half the weight and they do wheelie easy.

as far as racing inexperienced racers I don't think so. Some of those 450's have been racing for awhile and also race in 4 stroke wars

Wow. No one around want to whip on my 500lb shaft driven automatic? I will bring my 450r too, but it isn't nearly as much fun. How can you not be impressed by what is basicly a utilty quad rolling out?

im sure it is fast enough

if u was in az id bring my 450 to race u for sure not for bragging rights just for fun win or lose

but when it comes to 4 strokes I think its hard to beat a 55-65 hp 450 based machine my quad has stuck neck n neck with a 737 raptor stretched n im pretted sure a raptor I faster then a KFX I do like them but not for me I almost got my wife one for the ease of the automatic

Kenz Cycle Raptor 760r vs FST 715

Maybe it is just a coincedence that everyone I race can't ride, to include myself.

Yeah, I hear you. It is tough to hang with a quad that weighs 150lbs less... especially eith one that is a shaft driven auto. To bad you aren't closer. There are some pretty darn fast 450's around me. I will try and get some vids of some races. I will most likely get into the motor in my 04 this winter. I have seen first hand how the respond.

I know it is easy to talk smack on the internet but that supercharged bike is slow in the vids... I personally am not impressed that he built it... If he built it to drag race and if it does not perform and that is the one thing it was built for it is a failure. I think that as far as design goes the belt squealing is not designed properly how many S/C cars do you hear that have a constant squeal ? none.. The way it pertrudes into the leg area is not wise what happend when that belt breaks does it take off the riders arm... I know this seems harsh but I am just stating what I see.

The belt squeel is normal from the tranny. most V-forces sound like that.

First off that bike isnt slow.How fast will your bike go up that hill?Is it the fastest bike no but the bikes he races are no slouches.

I can understand you not being impressed.You ride a honda and we all know how fast those things are.

I whoop up on Hondas all the time with my utility bike.

Then what are you doing here dude besides trying to cause problems? This thread is nothing but peoples opinions. I love my Honda's.

This is getting intresting. Only reason I started this thread was because I thought the Super Charged Kawi is cool.

Well some guys on here are trashing Metals bike.Thats why I am here.I am just stating my opinion to.

It is great that you love your Honda.I like hondas also just not for drag racing.I want a Foreman for trail riding and mudding.

I like the guys quad. Thats why I posted it. I think its cool. Nobody else really seemed to like it and thats cool too. I just feel with this being a Honda site, its not cool to come bash Honda's here. Some of the other guys here wont be as polite as me.

Well most of the guys cant appriecate the hard work that was put in that bike.Its not like he called up someone and had everything built for him.It is a one of a kind bike.I am glad you like it.

I am glad you was polite.It seems to be a trait missing in this post.It seems that a lot of the Honda guys need to be more like you on here.If they didnt trash his quad them I wouldnt be here.The guy deserves respect for his build.Some of the statements made by some on here just shows there ignorance.

theres no don't doubt he put a lot of work into

never said anything bad about his quad, but I did and still do call bs on 110+ rwhp

I have seen half a dozen of his videos and none are impressive

Well I guess you'll have to see it in person. The hills at the dunes don't look very steep in the pictures...do they?

cool
