On Fisher's ATV world the Suzuki rep said they will be offering two 700 quads, the twin peaks and the single 700. The single 700 would be their flagship model with irs, efi, and locker. He said they would marker both for those that want a different type of ride. Twin peaks due out this month, single 700 due out in june, 2004.

 

That is my understanding also. I would like to add that I bet, that since Susuki got the P700, that Kawi will get the King Quad clone, all things reamining consistant. meaning that the lead design comapny involved gets to release the bike first followed by a clone for the other. The one thing that I remember hereing about was a p700 being developed with IFR. I recall one of the atv rags had a spy photo of it. So maybe not this time. I don't really care what flavor the bike is, I try and judge them by there performance, apperance, and quality. For example the P650 has the best performance and one of the highest quality levels I have ever owned. I ordered my P700 in the twinpeaks version for that cool blue color. If the king quad is all what its ckacked up to be and Kawi get one too, I will get wichever one looks the best. Its like chevy / GMC I think GMC look better, but I know they both come off the same production lines.

 

The hole idea of the alliance is not for one company to release an atv and the other to get a clone , it is for them to develope the quad together , like I have said before , the 250 4-stroke bike was built with both companies working together and that is the same idea on the atv's , the thing for them to do is to build an atv and then each company develope its on plastic to make them look different but the chasis and motor to be the same , the idea of the "clones" was just to get product lines complete , now that has been done they are both putting money and ideas into single projects together.

 

The thing that I don't understand is, if the king quad is a single, I have to wonder why they didn't just fuel injct the best quad motor ever made (700 vtwin). Why go back to a vibrating old single. Has anyone ever seen a more powerful, smoother running atv motor than the 650/700 Vtwin?
