Here are some possiblities:

ArcticCat-There new sport quad, probably with the LTZ engine

Bombardier-The Rally 200
DS440 4-stroke
DS380 2-stroke

Cannondale-SPORT/ute 4x4 with the 432cc EFI motor

Honda-450EX
650EX
Rincon

Kawasaki-500 or 650 V-Twin Sport Quad

Polaris-Sport Quad

Suzuki-LTZ400
LTZ250 4-stroke
Everest 800 4x4
King Quad 400

Yamaha-Updated Banshee
500cc 4x4
300cc 4x4

 

I don't think cannondale is going to have any new models very soon, they just put about 65 million dollars in their motorsports department. I don't think AC will be coming out with anything either. Bomb has got to be working on other models, Knutz has mentioned that there will be some big news from Bomb. but he didn't give specifics. I am still hoping that Bomb makes the 380 twin, it would sell like hotcakes! I think Yamaha will update the Warrior before the Banshee, probably because they think it is in the market with the 400EX. As for the morons at Honda, they must have seen this site if they are advertising on it, and chances are they dropped by the Honda forum, but still think the 400 is an adequate sport machine. Only time will tell.

 

I think the 400EX is a nice quad. In fact, considering it's CC disadvantage I really don't think it's all that slow or boring.

 

I didn't mean to say it was a bad quad, it's just that it is "old news," I guess. I know I would buy one over a Raptor or current Bomb. models. I just think that Honda should at least revise it to be a liquid cooled motor.

 

I agree. The 400EX ain't the hottest pie on the shelf but it is still the standard by which everything else is judged. It is a fine machine, and a worthy adversary. An Adversay I WILL POOP ON !!! Sorry, guys, I just couldn't resist,,,, POOPING ON YOU !!

Make sure ya don't squeeze the Charmin when you're done with the 400Ex fourlix. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

My guess is its either the new Suzuki Quadsport or the Kawasaki 650 sport (from the "spy" photos). It says "you may have seen the pictures" so it won't be something that nobody has seen. Just my .02

 

Heard a lot of talk about Kawasaki coming out with a V-twin sport quad. It would be about time. There was talk of a KXF 250, but with the EPA cracking on two-strokes they probably figured there wasn't going to be much of a market for it.
One of my friends works at a Kawi. shop he says something is coming but he won't tell me what, when or if he even knows for sure[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img],great info huh?

 

I think that the new Quad is a Bombardier, if anyone remembers both Cannondale and Bombardier (both north american manufactures)showed off their sport quads first on atv-connection. Second guess would be the V-twin Kawasaki or the Polaris sport quad. I wish that honda would release a 450EX or a 650Ex but I wouldn't get my hopes up. Honda won't release any info until after the dealer shows this spring.

 

Did they debut their quads on ATV Connection?
