Default Honda's next new quad?

What would you like Honda to build next? Personally I'm still waiting to see a big bore 4stroke something that could compete with the big thumpers. Yes, I know the 450r can run with some of the big bores, but wouldnt it be nice to have a lightweight 700cc or even an 800cc sport quad with reverse.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

a newer kids quad would be cool. 1 year limited edition reproduction of the 70, 110, 185 and 90 ATC's would be cool. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

Naw, I'm thinking of the 500cc 2 stroke variety full on Race ATV with direct injection to comply with all 2006 EPA regulations, bone stock HP output of 75, full 12" travel front and rear...
Hmm, how about 1000cc twin Banshee while I'm dreaming??? With a modern YFZ chassis to boot?

Now, I'd get my checkbook out for something like that!

Realistically, The 2stroke era is coming to an end. Yes these bikes still dominate drag racing. But with the new Epa standards, 2 strokes are going to become relics. It would be nice to see a 500cc 2stroke liquid cooled atv with long travel suspension. But I dont see it unless Yamaha or Honda finds a way to use EFI efficiently. But we can still dream!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Like I said before if Honda would build a Big bore 4stroke with impressive numbers, good travel suspension, and around 450lbs, I will be pulling out my checkbook.
