Here's What the Dealer Told me About the New Honda.

Fourlix,
I was refering to the STOCK market not the ATV market. We have been fortunate so far as a country that the market's lowly performance has not drug down the economy. I have depended on the RV industry my entire life for my income, first as an electronics supplier to the manufacturers in Michiana, then as an advertising consultant at Trader Publishing. When fuel prices spike because of instability in the middle east it hurts the RV industry no matter the current state of the economy. The RV business is much more fragile than the atv.
The z400 probably is outselling the Raptor and 400ex in multi brand stores [I would buy it out of the 3] but I don't see how it could be selling more than either model across the country and especially not with their sales combined. Suzuki and Kawasaki are complimentary brands Honda and Yamaha are anchor brands. Suzuki doesn't have enough points to compete. Compare how many Honda only points there are compared to how many Suzuki only points there are.
Daimon,
I'm glad someone got it or maybe it wasn't as clever as I suspected.
