Clearly Itz400racer a backmarker baiting for a flame war. No class at all.

I always laugh when people say that honda is falling behind...or things like that.
Honda's purpose as any business it to profit! Id love to see Suzuki's bottom end profits
compared to Honda's. Talk about no competition....heheheheh

PS. anyone ever drive a suzuki auto? I have...talk about snap togather junk.....

Ride Red, Ride Smart !

lol the suzuki "samari" lmao...yeah thats a winner...only thing zuki made that was worth a dayum is the gsxr. Thats IT. I agree though. Why come out with a new thumper with the 400ex has sold...how many units? Let the 400ex die off then come out with a new bike. Its simple marketing

I rode a crf450 quad and was not impressed with the power. If they do release on expect no more than 40-42 HP. They will not give us the power we want. I just hope they give us a big bore detuned so we can build it up. The brightest star in Hondas lineup is the 250ex for kids. It is a decent quad. lol. I did buy one for the kido the other day. I almost got him a 400ex.

Ya but look at the Suzuki quad. They took that engine out of a dirtbike and into a quad and it was producing about 50 hp also but they toned it down when put into a quad so it only makes 28. Same with all engines put in quads, they tone them all down so dont expect 48 hp from your 450. You'll prolly be lookin at about 30-35.

Keep holding hands Honda loyalists and the 400ex will be the only sport quad available in the following years.
