I havent seen it mentioned anywhere else on the forums, but maybe I've just missed it.

But am I correct in believing that the new honda looks a helluva lot like the new arctic cat???

I think the headlights inside the cluster are a little different, but the basic shape and design are similar. The fenders a slightly more jagged on the cat, probably due to the whole removable thing they have going. but mostly, they look alike......right?

 

I've read this before and I think they look nothing alike.

i agree with booger

 

Even if they do.....what's your point? Take a ride on both and there's where the difference lies.

 

Easy now guys, dont get your panties in a bunch.

It was not meant as a derogitory statement, just a casual observation. When you look at the existing quad designs, they are very distinguishable. the 400ex has the 2 close mounted lights just under the handlebars, the z/kfx twins have a stacked lighting design, the raptor/yfz have their lights mounted under the front fenders. the ds has a light cluster near the top of the nose.

While the pred and cannondales have a similar idea, 2 lights mounted farther apart in the center of the nose, the execution of each of these designs is rather obviously different. this is not necessarily the case elsewhere...

the cat dvx and the honda trx are the only 2 that have a similar structure with one main cluster integrated into the very front of the nose piece.

Its not a bad thing, just an observation, and only my opinion. I had just wondered if anyone else saw it.
