and now plastic. either that or a 450 lbs. 650ex with an avalable 650x kick start version, or give the ex a kick back up incase you ever fell like your right leg is getting weak. make it +1 wider and longer. sell it for $6000 put yamaha out of buisness. hehe!
ride on!

 

Yes, I think Honda should make a 650EX.

Now that that's out of the way, I too would like to see a Honda sport/utility. I really want to like Yamaha's Wolverine, I just can't for some reason. If Honda made one...maybe use the 400EX engine, long travel suspension, option of ES or foot shift, maybe even Hondamatic. Keep it around 450 lbs. Yeah, I think I'd buy one.

 

My dream quad from honda is simple.

1. 400cc Twin Cylinder two stroke.
2. All out race quad.
3. T-Pin style front end, rather than ball joints.
4. Lightweight Tubeular Chassis
5. Front Fully Adjustable shocks w/rezzys (zero preload) w/high and low speed compression dampning.
6. Pro-Link rear swingarm.
7. Radial Front tires

This would be my ideal quad. It would be a full blown factory produced race quad.

 

I say take the CBR 600 engine and put it in a full out race quad, 12 inches or more of travel 6-speeds. try to keep the price under 7 grand. That would be a great race quad.

 

Have to agree with Pres about the 250r not impressing me, I liked may Warrior allot more, I could always beat them in the wooded trails 2 and 3rd gear riding. After driving a Banshee and a 500 Quadzilla , i wanted more from a 250r. I like the 400 EX more also. seems to have more and easier useable power.

 

My dream are two quads:

A 2-stroke, a new 250R but with better shocks (same frame), but with 310cc - one cylinder power plant, because twin cylinder, and twin carbs required a lot of maintenance, and are hard to tuned (Banshee), and 310cc still lightweight.
A 4-stroke, a new TRX500EX liquid cooled, with better shocks, and +1 swingarm, same frame, and aluminum subframe and the battery located behind the airbox in the middle of the frame. . Remenber that the 400EX is only .5 seconds behind the raptor on MX (DW magazine) so we don't need a heavy 650cc to kill them, and more aluminum for reduce weight.
Both quads can kill anybody else.

Just, what is in my mind.
