I'll ya tell what I think. I think this new 650 engine is going to make it into a sport frame. I bet Kawi. already has the frame ready to go, but awaiting to see how the engine does in the new "utility" machine. I think in the near future, maybe a year or so, we will see an exiting sport quad emerge from Kawi. They must know they have to do something. Suzuki is coming out with one next year and I'm sure Honda will too. JMHO!

A 250 ex picked over a Lakota! What a poor joke!
Honda should buy about 30 full page adds in the next issue to pay for that.

April dirtwheels---- "The Kawasaki consistently topped both (Polaris and 250EX) as they ran through the course." (straight line drag race)
April ATV ACTION---- "In the 100-yard dash, the 250ex beat out the kawasaki by a 1/2 second and then repeated that feat in a race half that length." My question is how did the mags get different results. i give up on atv mags!
