I can think of several things I would like to see on ATV's of the future. What are some of the things you would like to see that have not shown up on any brand ATV?

Rear steering? That's a tuff <==Polaris got me again@#$% question. Levers to raise or lower the suspension 4" Tire inflators/deflators like the H1 Hummer. A drink holder that doesn't spill

How about a no-spill cup holder?

Or bluetooth enabled with a helmet headset?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

a PTO...
yamaha did do this back in the 80's..i think they called it the terrapro. people still try to find them and buy them. they dont stay for sale long around here or anywhere that ive seen. though ive never owned or driven one, it is supposed to be a good UTILITY bike. the engine was like a 250 or 350cc and it wasnt a smooth riding puss mobile- but it was a purpose built quad for the utility world. something the serious utility crowd has lost. oh yeah, there's great bikes with big engines (and hefty weight) on the market today with some technological advances- but as far as being strictly utility- there not. the OEMS are just hoping you pull a little trailer and turn then them into mud machines. Seriously, is mud bogging a utility effort? no, nothing wrong with it if thats what you want to do, its just more of a fun effort.

id like to see a lightweight, high performance 4wd with everything on it : EFI, advanced suspesion, powerful hi tech engine....honda was supposed to be working on one but it hasnt appeared yet.


oh and dont call the new wolverine the remedy for this. is it just me or does it look like a bigger version of the old yamaha breeze? i think it even has the same kinda transmission the breeze had. the breeze was a 125cc beginner bike. i think the older wolverine was better and more aggresive. all they had to do was put more power in it, give it a manual clutch and lighten it. not turn it into a piece of crap.

sorry yamaha, but 421cc, turd transmission, breeze looks...you missed the mark. good job on the 700 raptor, YFZ definitely good job. just think the aggressive people were not on the project this time.

id like to see a quad with a nice sound system that wont break. that would be amazing! the only thing i need is music on my quad. i wouldnt want anything that makes quads easier to ride... kuz then it would be no fun. i think atv's are great the way they are now.... new technology but not too easy.

yea man, i think ur right bout the wolverine. i like every yamaha quad besides the NEW wolvie. the old ones were good.... i dont know what they were thinkin wen they made the new one like that. its still not a "horrible" quad, but its not too hott.

yeah the new wolverine kinda sucks. My buddy was excited to get one since i bought my new rancher, but he liked the older design, not the new one. so now he's kinda bummed cuz he'll have to buy a used one.

anyways, i thought a small air compressor mounted to the shocks on the suspension would be cool, so you could stiffen or soften the suspension with a push of a button. AIR RIDE!!!

How about a real GPS? Something that would be worth the extra $200, a good map or something like that would be great. Or how about a big bore like the Rincon in a good ol' 5 speed? Would that be too much to ask?

Mo26 that was experimented in the past with the craptor project but it just didn't work out.

i think it would be smart to put ABS brakes on them for slipery riding conditions auto four wheel drive that kicks on it own but have the option to turn it off for burn outs

Theft recovery sytem wouldn't hurt. LowJack for ATVs. A tool kit that can actually repair stuff on the ATV maybe.

I would like to see an onboard Altimeter. I always wonder at what altitude I am riding. If we had a full on-board GPS it would include an Altimeter.

For plowing and winter riding a full ATV inclosure with heat vents and a windsheild wiper on the front....or I could just buy a truck.

Just a note, a lot of this stuff mentioned is already handled pretty well by the aftermarket. While some things could work better integrated in, many of the aftermarket offerings work quite well and can be moved from one machine to another so you don't have to pay extra to have it on each of your atvs or buy it again when you get a new bike.

The urinal and craptor have been covered, but what about a bidet? Not only would it clean ones self, could it not also used to be self cleaning?

Built in shotguns that automatically shoot those morons on the dirtbikes that cut off or pass you on the trails.... that annoys the crap outta me[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]


Seriously though, something that when you get stuck in a big mudhole or water or whatever... you push a button and a raft or something pops out and floats you to the edge.
I know, I'm retarded.

Yamaha tried it in 88' - Clicky. In fact, my father-in-law has one. He bought it new in '88 and has riden it just about every day since then on the farm. It is also used to mow with the 48" finish mower. The dang thing rides like a board, but it keeps on going. He just discovered it had an oil filter 3 years ago if that tells you anything.

I don't know if it didn't sell well or if they had problems with it, but I think it was onlt made for one year.

A PTO with attachments on a true Utility quad would make a lot of sense. Seems like something the John Deere (Bombardier) Traxters would do well with.
I would also like to see a small power steering pump added to Utility 4 wheelers. Everyone wants them to steer better.

Actually I kinda like the shotgun idea for a$$holes but a front & rear one in case you miss them coming still have a shot going.

Part of the problem is that the attachments are expensive (at least they were for the TerraPro) and unless they standardized on an attachment system, they are not interchangable. For now, I think it makes more sense to have attachments self-powered so you can move them from quad to quad.

I was hoping a few would fess up that they really wished they purchased a Suzuki Samari instead. Actually, I think the Samari now weighs less than 2 of the utes. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
