Kawasaki... think about it a minute... Kawasaki... Doesnt do much for you atver's? Me either. It has been over 14 years since Kawasaki updated their sport quad. Sure back then the Mojave was a respected, highly advanced four stroke.

Now I know this is a Honda Forum and I am slowing getting to the point. There was a time when the Kawasaki atv's were top notch. Tecate and Tecate 4... Rockets.

My point is simple and yes it pertains to Honda's. Why is Honda letting others like the Yamaha and Cannondale pass it by? It is all but proven that Suzuki and Kawasai are getting read to impact the high performance atv market. Are the Honda sport quad designers on the same vacation that the Kawasaki designers took 14 years ago?

Sure the 400EX is a great overall quad. But so was Yamaha's Tri-Z. Update Man, Update? Sure the Raptor has some bugs to work out, but they will. Sure the Cannondale is pricy but it will sell. And now Suzuki and Kawasaki is getting ready to fire their rockets. That means it doesnt matter what color they decide to color the 400EX with next, it will be covered in everyone elses dust. I so love the look blackish/grayish powder.

Step Up Honda!

 

I dunno, if you don't like any of those models, you could always buy a DS 650 instead.
