Not all of us have enjoyed the opportunity to ride trails in different States, spend weekends at a site that's riddled with uncompromising trails. Do rock hopping or float your quad through mud and water, tire high. But we do get to ride and enjoy our quads as much as we can.
Suppose you had a chance to talk to the manufacturer and tell him exactly what you would want to see your quad look like. Colors, decales, wheels and tires. Last night at a meeting with the manufacture's representatives, MATVA Members (Michigan All Terrain Vehicle Association) did so. Though it was never said, "We represent K manufacturer", it was clear to all, who we were talking to. If things go as they were at the meeting, you guys will be buying quads from this outfit for a long time to come. What was really impressive was the fact that they listened to each and everyone of us. They won't be adding all the items we mentioned but they were visibly impressed with MATVA's Club Members concerns. There were new, fresh colors and decales. I'm a utility quad rider and I don't really get into decales but the racer guys seem to really like what they saw. One thing about colors... The group never really came together until we were asked about the new colors and then it was magic. One of the colors raised everyones attention even if you didn't like it that much. We talked about quad height, tire sizes, chrome wheels, aluminum wheels, chrome detail, safety tags (how ugly they are) where decales should be placed and "Built-in GPS". That was MATVA's idea... They were Kickin' when we got done with 'em. The one thing that bothered me was that the new 360cc Prairie, doesn't have dual shock at least or independant suspension in the rear. For some reason, they still want to make every quad, a racer type vehicle.
