Anyone see the new Dirtwheels article that speculates about the new Honda quad. They say to "expect" a 450 based off the 450 motocross engine, but changed for maintainability and more torque. They also said to expect more suspension and a frame that is a cross between the 250R and 400ex frames. Seems like they have a little inside info. Maybe we'll find out on September 12th, but I really expected the 650 machine and not this one.

 

I seen that but did you read what was below that.artic cat is now using the z400 with there own plastic. that makes 3 co. selling the same bike.what a joke.

 

I am curious as to what a cross between a 400ex and 250R chassis would be. Aren't they pretty much the same?

sickmojave,

This is not a joke if you can see the arctic cat dealer but don't like there quads but want a new Z400 and the nearest Suzuki dealer is about 1000 miles away.

Its not cold here but I might be cooling my *** in the arctic real soon.

I just thought it was funny that so many companys are selling the same bike and call it a different name. you know the old saying&quot; a rose is a rose no matter what it smells like&quot; so can we call this rose a suzukasakicat. LOL

 

sickmojave,

I have seen some pictures of the Arctic cat. I like the darker green one and the plastic looks as good as or better than the Z400.

I just couldn't handle that yellow Suzuki has. I would stick out pretty bad in the fields of green grass. With the Arctic cat I would blend right in and no one will see me miles away.

They'd see your calico tail flying in the wind though.....

 

jcv400ex,

No my cats won't venture that far off the compound.

They know the wild dogs lurk off in the distance.

I should be safe with the green Arctic Cat.

Umm, I think the saying is &quot;A rose by any other name would still smell as sweet&quot;. But, your way works too. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
