Lets get some ideas going for KAWASAKI.

1) Chain driven.(so would could gear them to go faster and save some pounds)
2) Aluminum Frame( that would shave a hundred pounds)
3) Factory Nerfs(love mine plus good protection)
4) factory Dual exhaust
5)?
6)?

 

pink primary spring...
different exhaust

 

IMO, all quads should come with nerfs. I am an ice racer so they have always been required. I rode my cousin's raptor without them and I didnt like it, didnt feel safe.

Chain drive would get back a few ponies as well.

 

Not only would it cost more, but what would the aftermarket do? They gotta eat too. Also, it wouldn't be personalized. They probably would put on generic or mediocre parts you end up replacing anyway......

 

chain drive and alum frame arent availible from the aftermarket. people have done chain conversions, but I dont think they are availible for purchase. exhaust I can understand should be crap from the factory.

 

Why?
What do I need nerfs for while duning? trail riding?

We could also try with statements like:
-All quads should come with paddle tires.
-All quads should come with wheelie bars.
-All quads should come with gun racks.
-All quads should come with (insert your favorite feature here).

You can kinda see where I'm going with this.

 

Have you ever ridden with nerfs? They are nice in the trails because they give you something to lean on in turns and rest on. They will keep sticks from coming up and hitting your leg or foot. They will keep you from catching a stump or tree in the leg if you happen to slide off the side of the trail. In the dunes they will keep you from running over your own leg if you slip off the peg coming off a razorback.

Nerfs are safety items and are useful in a number of situations. They are not like the other items you listed that have specialized uses. They also do not reduce the usability of the atv like all of the items you listed do.

What if we didnt have some of the things we have now? Do you have to have a rear grab bar, a front bumper, plastic skids, fenders? No, they are not necessary. But they do add safety and protection to the bike and rider without reducing the usability of the machine.

 

Why where at it why can't we have a titanium frame plus other cool lite weight and strong performance parts??????

 

titanium frame?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] do you have any idea what that would cost? The Russians would like that idea though..

 

well we are at it...why not dimond plate it...that one be strong tie-rod! lol
