Didn't this make MXer's happy? Less competition for them to worry about? I hope Suzuki doesn't drop the ball at their dealer meeting.

 

I LOVE my Raptor but was wondering if I might have bought it a little to soon not knowing what Honda was goin to release. Now I have no worries

 

The issue with making MX'ers happy has nothing to do with quads. Honda also unveiled the CR250F, the new 4-stroke MX'er for the 125cc 2-stroke class to compete with the YZ250F. Knowsalot's info wasn't incorrect, it just didn't pertain to quads. You can generally take it to the bank when Patrick gives us the scoop.

 

well Honda's preveiw site is still down. I never got to see the new ranchers[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Hey Knowsalot, have you heard anything new?

Anyone else heard anything????

 

KNOWSALOT never said anything was certain. If yall would read, yall would see that he might have said that a new sport quad was EXPECTED to be there... he never said it WOULD be there. Just like in one race I had... I EXPECTED to pass for first place, but to my suprise, i was rollin down teh side of the track and ended up finishing 6th!

 

I wa hopeing for a Honda sports quad to compete with the new big bores but I guess I was right all along, Honda is a company with no ***** that's run by lawyers!!

Sorry Honda guys!

I guess the Yamaha, Suzuiki, Polaris, Cannondale & Bombardier dealers are happy!!

 

Don't you love it!

 

I am truly sorry for the Honda folks, maybe there were some kinks that had to be ironed out. Patience is a rough deal.

As for the knowsalot....or snowsalot crowd, why do you folks spool everyone up? Try to rely on fact, even if you want to be sarcastic, tongue in cheek posters, quite a few don't always get it, and that can lead to some brand dissatisfaction...frustration. I have to admit, I had some factory people swear to me that the Predator was gonna be called the Xtreme. Heard it from over a dozen "reliable" contacts. That was just the name, not whether or not there was a new machine or not. Don't build your ego too fast, if the backbone can't support it.

By the way, Bartlett is correct, Rath has a few Predators for racing/testing....sponsored by Polaris. Hopefully Honda will have something soon, and you know it will be factory supported.

NASCAR RULES!!!!

Ken...your local, friendly jet tech.

 

i think that honda motorcycles are made by a completely different company. look at their MX bikes, and their CBR's RC51......

they have the technology to build a kick A$$ sport quad, i just wish they would.............screw reliability! (but i prefer reliability for a ute!)

 

I prefer reliability and performance. I like the fine balance in my Suzuki.
