I wonder How long it is until this thing comes out, I hope it is the Ninja 500 motor instead of the Praire 650 Motor, but I think it is probably the Ninja motor, because about a year before the Tecate came out Kawi showed off a KX motor in Mojave chassis, I also have couple other things I would like to see: Reverse, dry weight under 395LB, at least 10" of suspensiont travel, and EFI. If this thing is any good I might be saying bye to the C-dale.

 

I am really hoping for a two stroke from someone, but if this thing has a twin cylinder 500 motor and is relatively light then I would take a good look at it. I am not that interested in a big bore quad that weighs too much. I like a nimble machine that is good in the woods but also pumps out the hp. My tecate fits the bill nicely, but it is 14 years old and I would like to buy a new machine sometime soon.

 

If they do come out with a new 500 Twin I hope the plastic is more like the Tecate4 than the Mojave. Honda made the 400EX look similar to the 250R. Or better yet a new very killer looking Quad (I hope). I think the 500 Twin would be a better duner than the Raptor. I think that motorin the drags could be a potent Banshee contender. Hell, I would be happy for any Kawi Sport/Race quad! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]
