I was at the local dealer today, getting ready to buy a new Kodiak. When I said that I wish Yamaha would update the Wolverine, the owner of the shop suggested I wait until the end of the month. They have a meeting on the 23rd where Yamaha is announcing a new Quad. I asked if it was an updated Grizzly, and she didn't think so. She felt it would be something sportier. New Wolverine???

The Wolverine is a 4X4 version of the Warrior. Maybe the new quad is a 4X4 version of the Raptor. Just a thought...

A recent issue of Dirt Wheels said something about a new Blaster, with a four-stroke, of course to please all of the whining treehuggers.

I don't think anyone be whining about the tree huggers if that's true and Yamaha decides to replace the Blaster engine with the new YZF250 engine...

That is what i heard also. I think it's a smart move by Yamaha. It's obvious that we don't have enough clought to change the mindset on two strokes, but until they get rid of cars all together, four stroke atv's have a future.

Dream on!!!!
Anyway, I was at the dealer yesterday and priced a Raptor. Add a 4x4 system and everything and I think the price would give me a heart attack.
Sure would be nice to have though.
The Wolverine is a Big Bear bottom end with a Warrior top end.. Maybe they could do a new quad with the bottom of a Grikkly and the Top from a Raptor. Can you imagine how much fun that would be??
