I love my new 450s and won't buy another atv for a long time, but I wish Honda would make:

800cc V-twin
6-speed manual auto clutch
10 in. suspension travel
stick with a solid rear axle
locking front diff. with selectable 2 or 4 wheel drive
keep traditional honda look (450,300)
extra thick steel racks
stock front/rear reciever system (like warn)
stock tire delete option ($200 credit)
super scratch resistant plastic
no bigger or heavier than a 450
70 mph top speed
$6,000 MSRP

That would be sooooo sweet!

Yeah man that would be SWEET!!! especailly the super scratch resistant plastic. But nobody will ever make a quad like that unless it is custom made. Though in a few years i would bet they will be that large in cc's becuse just a few years ago a 400-450 was a big bike.That bike would be so sweet though

This is what I'd like to see one of the Manufacturers build.

400EX style chasis
Plastic removal similar to the EX
Dual Rate shocks from the factory (Triples would be ideal, but gotta be realistic)
Holeshots all around
Electric Start
NO Reverse
Grease Zerks on all pivot points (Carrier, A-arm bushings)
400-450 cc's with 40 HP at the rear wheels.
4 Gallon gas tank
Roll Design Style pegs (Don't have to be a $250 add on though, factory style with extenders would be fine)
Good Ergo's like the EX
5 Speed tranny w/manual clutch
Carbon Fiber Wheels
Under the seat storage near the Airbox.
All of this under 370lbs when wet.

I just want to see a 400ex chassis with a DOHC, Five valve motor and 6 speed tranny. Single rate shocks would be fine if they were fully adjustable and rebuildable.
