I haven't been told by my Kaw rep that this was 100% positive info, but he did say that the chances are very likely considering that Kawasaki let them have a Suzuki version of it's P700 for 2004.

The quad in question here is the 2005 Suzuki KingQuad. 750cc EFI and not a Kawasaki built product.

For what its worth, I read somewhere that the 2005 King Quad (equipped with IRS) is supposed to be a 700cc EFI motor (a 1 banger). That would be great if its actually a 750cc.

I have heard both and when i asked our Suz rep about it, he said that talk amongst the reps was that the KQ will be a 750 because they plan to keep the Twin Peaks and they don't look to have two 700 models in the lineup. I will take his word over the magazine anyday, but both are word of mouth, as is this discussion as well.

Until Suzuki announces it officially 3 months from now, we will have to wait. If this rumored Kaw is indeed different from the Suz, then they have opened the door for another battle of displacement war.

Great times.

atv's won't get over 800cc. if they do they are goverened by different laws and considered OHV's. they need to be titled, licenesed, insured, etc.........

please don't make the prairie IRS........FI and more cc's, maybe a manual ok....but I wouldn't buy an irs.

I know at the 2004 Suzuki dealer meeting in Vegas they made a point to mention that the deal with Kaw was to fill in the line up until Suzuki built models were available. The new fuelie big bore quad and a couple of new cruisers (bikes)

cartman308,

Considered OHV or not, Yamaha's A1 project is still in the works from what I have been told.

By the way, most states require titleing of ATVs anyway.
