They have not come out with a new sport quad in 14 years it is about time. If they introduced a new 2 strpke it would sell like hot cakes. Lets just hope they got somethin up their sleve.

not confirmed yet, but I think we will see that 650 twin go into a sport frame real soon. I think they will get it out there and see how it does, iron out the bugs and then make an announcement. I bet they already have a frame and everything ready to go. We'll just have to wait and see.

C'mon Kawasaki we're pullin for ya but it's gettin real tough to do!!!

They always have the best one-offs or proto-types, but don't do anything with them. Did you see the 500 Ninja/Mojave thing they had built? It was in either Dirt Wheels or ATV Action. That would be too sweet.

I saw that article, it looked good, but had its flaws, I think they said something along the lines of "its great if you can keep the front wheels on the ground" I guess they thought it had too much power? I know, I know.. but thats what they said...

I don't think a two stroke quad would sell as well as a four stroke quad. Just think, how many years has it been since the companies have come out with a new two stroke? They come out with the raptors and DS650's. If kawi comes out with a new 4 stroke quad it would sell better. I want to see kawi come out with a 650 mojave or lakota. I was wondering what quad would win in a race a stock lakota or a stock mojave? This kid i know just bought a 2001 mojave and i want to race him.

2001 lakota
DG pipe
Baja skid plate

Ps looking for a DG push bar is there any that would fit?

You will lose to the Mojave. If you race it, please post the outcome though since you have some mods. I would really like to see Kaw come out with a whole new sport frame. The Mojave and Lakota are good frames but still quite heavy when compared to the other sport machines. They are a little to narrow and short too, in my opinion.

Redd888, I had a DG push bar on my Mojave, although it should fit a Lakota, I don't recomend it. They are around $85 and there isn't much to it. I think the AC push bars were the best looking (and cheapest too!! $55) but they discontinued them. I just ordered an Armadillo from RockymountainAtv yesterday for $75.
