Are any of you worried that the new Suzuki will be the next King of High Performance? It's most likely going to be faster than the 400EX and handle just as well. And it has Reverse. What do you all think?

If its really that much better, well then hell, its a free country, thats what classifieds are for, sell the Raptor and get the Suzuki, its not an appendage, its a toy.

Why would I be worried? Shoot I hope it's faster, I love to see the standard get raised.
The knowledge of if I am the fastest or not has absolutely no bearing on the amount of fun I am having when I ride. After a certain point it's not about the power but the handling and most importantly the rider.

I hope it's faster also, then we will see more companies make faster atv's that will benefit all of us.

Worried...I for one welcome the Suzuki with open arms!!!! New competition from Suzuki is well overdue. I'm so glad that they have put their name in the high-performance race. By the way...it's going to be a while until we actually see this quad.Until then, the Raptor 660R is running this show.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Anything else would be uncivilized.
