If Yamaha wants to change things in a hurry they should drop thier R-6 engine into one of thier atvs, light weight, four stroke inline four, fuel injected, lots of horses. With a little work it would be possible and would start a whole new breed of high performance machines.

 

You really think they would mass produce a quad with that motor in it?? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img] I doubt it. It would be **** though!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

u dont think things are interesting enough? and an r-6 engine would cost alot to produce like the wise mrdumass said

 

I think they could sell it, I just don't know if they would ever make it. It would be fast . Who knows, no one thought they would ever put an R-1 engine into one of thier snow machines either.

 

yeah, but those snowmobiles are capable of hitting 120+ mph.

on a groomed snowmobile trail that might be feasable, but i know the trails around here and they are not groomed, or even maintained. they are very crappy, and i can say that 50mph max is pushing it.

It would be sweet to have a quad like that, but i dont think it will ever happen.

 

no put a r-1 engine into one of their quads.

 

"If yamaha would put thier R-6 engine into one of thier atvs things would get interesting"

Haha saying Yamaha isn't interesting as it is? Totally agree [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

Haha I'm just kidding, but I think putting a Hyabusa Engine in one would be cool...Of course I'm sure everyone that bought one whether it be R1 or Hyabusa Engine would die within the first hour of having it, haha

 

most of the people can't handle the power to the 450,if they put that r-6 motor their would be lawsuits forever .then they would ban atv for good,because of dumb people

 

I agree with blackbird. It would severely damage our sport. This is one reason many high performance quads come detuned compared to their motorbike predecessors.

 

totally agree with blackbird
