Hey everyone who do you think has the most impressive lineup this year...Im still tryin to decide but right now im torn between 3 companies, kawasaki,suzuki and yamaha.

 

Yamaha they have the best 2 quads Raptor and Banshee. NOt to mention a blaster which is better then 300EXs

 

for new quads kawi and suzuki have 1 or 2. kawi-360 (don't count the kxf 400 it isn't new) suzuki- vinson manuel (2 thumbs up) and the Z-400. polaris i think will have the most interesting line up, they just seem to have a bunch of new quads because they always find something wrong with the old ones

 

Id have to say kawasaki has the best, i mean 3 new quads that are very impressive. Yamaha's wasnt that impressive except for the changes to the blaster. Honda had the rincon and that was it!!.

 

what 3 new quads?? the kxf400 isn't new, just a green Z-400, the 360 is new and the 50 and 80 are just green suzuki's. not being RUDE, just wondering

 

I agree about Kawi. They are copies of Suzuki quads including two that have been around for years. Nothing impressive about that at all.

I would have to say the least impressive is Honda. they are just sitting there with their thumbs up their butt while everyone keeps passing them in all categories. And please don't respond with something like "they will kill everyone...just wait!". Yeah, wait till when? Everyone seems to think they know something and as more and more time passes, they are all wrong about upcoming Hondas. By waiting and waiting, people are going to give up and buy something else and when Honda does finally have something worthy, most people aren't going to go sell their 1 or 2 year old quad for it.

 

Yea i see your point, there all suzukis. Alright what do you think has the best then?

 

honda has the rincon. they have the new 450F motocross bike. you must be reffering to the 400EX, well the way i look at it if it's selling like hell why change it?? it is down on power in the dunes, but around here all that there is on the MX tracks are 400EX's and 250R's

 

I think that Suzuki earned the crown this year. The new utility quads are very highly rated and the Z400 is sure to become a favorite, once they fix the first year problems.

It's good to see hydraulic disc brakes all the way around on the blaster, but it's too small for me to ride it. THe Banshee is way overdue for an update and I suspect it will not be around for too much longer, but again, maybe it will. The Raptor is a great machine and it appears the tranny probs have been worked out.

Honda's new utility will likely be a great machine, sorry to see they won't be making some Raptor,DS,Predator competition. Who knows, we may see one soon.

I'm rating this on "new" stuff.

Hey Rincon, I guess you approve of Honda using the Yamaha method. If it still sells, don't change anything for 10-15 years. The 450F isn't new anymore. There is a lot of competition from other mfgs these days and Honda's reputation for quality isn't going to carry them forever without competitive machines. I'm not flaming you, I own Honda's. However, I thought I'd never own a Yamaha and I ride a YZ426. Yamaha set the 4 stroke high performance standard for MX bikes while Honda had it's head in the sand and Honda is supposed to be the 4-stoke king.

 

YEa suzukis gotta have the best.
