I would think a 650ex would sell like hot cakes man. Really the only two hi-po "trail" quads right now is the Raptor and Z400. Plus I bet Duners would love it too, another big bore to play with.

I would love to have something with Z400 handling, Raptor power, and Honda reliability. Ah man, them Honda basturds probably got a couple sitting around right now and won't give us any![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]

Or maybe they will eventually, but only after over 15 years of whining and waiting, and them playing hard to get, just like they did with the 250R-450R.

I'm no Polaris or Kawasaki fan but I think you forgot about the Predator 500, and the KFX700. Maybe the DS650 also but It's not much of a trail quad.

Well, out of the big 4 jap bikes is what I was refering to with reverse and E-start. And the KFX700 is big and heavy, has automatic tranny, just didn't fit into the category I was directing it at.

The raptor is big and heavy. The pred and kfx700 both have reverse and electric start. The raptor isnt any good on an mx track either. And both the pred and KFX700 are just about as fast if not faster than a rap, and all of them will beat a Z400. A 650ex would be heavy too. If anything, its the z400 that doesnt belong in the lineup, not the KFX700 or pred.

That is why I said the "category 'I' was refering to". Meaning it was my opinion on "sport trail bikes". You obviously have yours and that is fine, but I guess Im just mad cause I have a quad that don't belong for my purposes.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] I should just sell it and buy what you think would suit me since my opinion isn't as good as yours dad[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

You've lost sight of what the post started out asking. I never said the Z was a bad trail quad. It is a great one but the post was about big bore trail quads you even put the term big bore in your first post. As great a quad as the Z is it is not a big bore. The Predator, Rapter , DS(not a trail quad), KFX700(not a big bore but kind of suits the class) are all big sport quads similar to what a 650EX would be if it was ever going built(not). See we wern't dissing you or your quad.

flynhi250r, oh no, what you said didn't bother me and it was a good question. It was maddog's post that made me respond. He acts like I was bashing something, Im the one on here always saying every quad is good at it's own purpose, and this guy comes in here questioning my personal opinions. Just no reason for it is all.
