Where are the "big bore" 5-speed utility quads
Hi,
Please have patience with me as I will be posting this in other forums...
With the major manufacture’s about to release new model line ups for 07, what are the chances that we might see a “big bore” with a 5-speed dual range tranny?
I currently have a belt drive kawi and have driven the other brands and would desperately like to see a “big bore” manual shift. Currently looking for a “big bore,” but only if it is a manual shift. I hate the feel of a belt drive quad, especially when navigating down steep hills backing a loaded tailor.

I think there is still a market for the manual tranny bikes. But with the trend of the market now days, the manual tranny's will almost be obsolete in the near future. But there will still be a honda or arctic cat in the bunch if you feel the need for a manual. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I too think this is very unfortunate. But you know how the old saying goes..."gotta go where the money is", [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

That would produce one fast quad. However, from my point of view I would also welcome the utility side of things... so a manual outty would be awesome and I would certainly switch from using my kawi. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I'd rather have a belt drive quad than one of these five-speed electric shifted units.
They're marketing the big bore quads in places where people are used to riding snowmachines, which NEVER have manual transmissions, and shouldn't. I prefer manual shifters, but don't think any utility over a 500 will be anything but an auto any time soon.
