With the release of the 400EX and the Bombadier DS 650, what does everyone expect from the other performance quad manufacturers? Do you think Honda will jump up to a 600cc motor (probably form the XR)? Or what about Yamaha using their new 426cc motor in a Banshee-like setup? And will Kawasaki resurrect the Tecate-4 or increase the displacement of the Mojave? Then there is Suzuki with the LT500. Wouldn't you like to see that re-manufactured with today's technology? What's your opinion?

Expect the Yamaha 426

I'll take the suzuki 500. With a lighter yet frame (250lbs ) And make the 500 a tripple with a carb and pipe for each cylinder. Lets give it 90hp and call it the suzuki dominator.

I also would like to see the the Suzuki LT Quadzilla 500 re-manufactured. I think it would be a great selling point for Suzuki. I would also like to see the 250R back again with some modifications. I am not much on the 400EX though.

 

The LT500 was a helluva machine! And the TRX 250R was crowned ATV of the Century by 4-Wheel ATV Action. Why don't these manufactures follow what Harley-Davidson did: re-manufacture (in limited numbers) their best performing, best looking, and most notorious machine ever--the FXR. H-D shut down production of this model in 1994 and resurrected it in 1999. They offered only a couple hundred of three different custom models each. Of course they sold every one of them starting at $16,995 and upwards to over $20,000! Why couldn't Honda put the 250R back in production? What about the Tecate-4 and the LT's?
