we all know that kawi is in the works of making a new quad, what would all of you like to see them come out with as far as engine, tranny, frame, tires, or anything else you would like to list?? basically, what would be kawi's answer to your dream quad? mine would be the 650 out of the prairie pepped up with a 6 speed tranny with reverse. 250r based frame, and 20 inch radials on the back with adjustable shocks.

 

Yeah, just what you said 6 speed MANUAL CLUTCH. Also, I would like it light weight. Keep the horses high, too.

I can't imagine that anyone can make a belt drive system lighter than a 6 speed?

 

The KXF-250R-03 with a counterbalanced engine and priced under $6000.....

 

They are supposedly coming out with a new 4-stroke motorcross bike, maybe an engine from that with an aluminum chassis with the same amount of travel as the DS650. And of course, reverse.

 

aluminum chassied 250 2 stroke with fuel injection and great handling. priced to be competitive with the raptor and 400EX

 

i think that big V-twin would be too HEAVY!...
Does anyone know what that motor weighs compared to, say, a raptor or 400ex motor? I'm just asking. Maybe it's not as heavy as i think it is.

Something I'd love to see is Kawasaki, Honda, and Yamaha put all their new high-tech fourstroke 450cc engines in quad frames. That would kick ****! I wish the quad world would get as much attention as the motocross bikes. THey upgrade those things every year!

 

I would like to see Kawasaki build the 250 2-stroke as well as high hp light weight 4-stroke both should have adj./rebuildable shocks front and rear. Now what I would REALY like to see them do as well as Honda,Yamaha,and Suzuki is build a complete line of quads like Cannondale. Then everyone could have there choice of quad for what type of riding they will be doing. No longer would us ATVers be forced to by a mild performance quad and spend $$$$$ to get it how we want it. Or even worse build one from the ground up $$$$$! Or only have one manufactures quad to pick from, we would have 5. Im shure I will stay with C-Dale but I know Kawi guys need a Kawi and Honda guys need a Honda ect. Think about it. How much money do they all have. Why cant they give us a few different quads even just every few years and let the bikes be for just a couple years! If a new company like Cannondale can build new bikes and quads why cant the older companies give us a few quads. Makes no sense! Like Ive said before, I would love to go to a track and see a good mix of PRODUCTION quads. Is this a dream or will it happen (before I get to old).

 

pringles,

yeah, i can see where you're coming from with the wieght. if i changed it, i would go with the same 250 2-stroke that william yokley uses, and everyhting else like i had it before.

 

All I want is Yokley's ride. What more do you have to say?
