Default Dear Suzuki...

...you have an excellent engine in the 750 King Quad. WHY HAVE YOU NOT PUT IT IN A SXS YET?

58-60" wide utility is great. Copy the Honda Pioneers folding bed/seat set-up, and sit back and sell them as fast as you can make them. I know you can do it at a price the others can't touch.

Consider a 50"er as well.

You've sat out this lucrative market long enough...

Apparently they don't want to. A 50" trail machine with the 750 engine would be great though. If they built a 60" or wider machine, its not like they couldn't come up with a good v-twin to put in it. The 750 would be a good base engine but you need more power than that to satisfy most.

Somewhere there are some Suzuki execs scratching their heads wondering why they aren't producing sxs models. But Suzuki always does things a little different. When they do jump in it will be with something a little wacky perhaps. Personally I feel anything but a basic work machine should be an inline twin at least.

Its just not their thing, they also do not make a PWC like all the rest do.Reviews of Motorcycle, ATV, Snowmobile and Watercraft vehicles even Honda had a 100+hp PWC up until 2008.Honda sure would never put a 680 Rincon motor in one or it would of been the laughing stock on the lake.

I think it may be financial resources as much as anything. Suzuki has had tough times as of late.
