500 scrambler 4x4 footshift
scrambler 500 2x4 manule(spell)clutch

 

Light weight (read: no mild-steel frames) 250-300 2-stroke manual clutch/shift, with a high-performance stance. If they made on of these under 370lbs, I would have a polaris in my garage. And really, it shouldn't be a problem for them. Honda, Suzuki, and Kawasaki all had the technology in the mid 80's, and polaris makes a 400 2-stoke, so I didn't think emmisions is a big concern for them either.

 

I'd like to see them build a true sport quad with the 400 2-stroke, manual clutch. The "Scrambler RS" (race series) would have the lower frame, double A-arm, and be chain driven. It would be right in line with the Banshees, 400EX's and such. It wouldn't necessarily win every catagory of the shoot outs, but would be very competitive.

 

Id like to see them make a scrambler 400,2x4 manual clutch with some sort of an alloy frame and adjustable front suspension..With a lower center of gravity..and a slightly wider stance

 

Oh yea and a 4x4 Trailblazer with low range and alloy frame.250 reedvalve liquid cooled...and manuel clutch

 

A lightweight sport machine, maybe 2, one with a souped up 250, another with a hot 400 engine. Make the main emphasis on light weight, good suspension/handling, and proper balance.

These are 'dream machines' that may or may not be on the drawing board.
A realistic machine that I can see no reason to release would be a Mag 500 HO and also a Mag 425 again. Nothing against the 325 engine. In fact, they could likely sell all 3 sizes if they wanted to,

 

here's how polaris *can* get green stickers on thier 2-strokes and sell a whole lot more!...

they are currenly making direct injected 2-stroke jet skis that meet 2006 emissions!

put it in a race quad chassis with the following....
2 models: 250cc & 400cc (for class restrictions)
goal weight: 290-325lbs(it is possible.. '85 lt250r dry weight was 298)
clutch: manual
transmission: manual
front suspension: twin A-arms
rear suspension: single shock swingarm, solid axle
drive: chain
brakes: disk, seperate ft & rear systems
number plates: front, sides & rear

no lighting coil, reverse or electric start in stock configuration dedicates it to being made specifically for racing in factory form... keeps stupid ppl from letting as many kids on it hopefully

- just build it w/o any BS that isn't needed on a closed course machine.(i.e. no brackets that aren't used)

options availabe:
lighting coil & headlight, lighter weight flywheel, lowering kit & swaybar for TT, wider a-arms & rear axle for MX & TT, extended swingarm for dunes, adjustable compression & rebound shocks all around, bigger ft. brakes if you wish to run 12" wheels w/ grooved radials.


crazy ideas, huh? if they did it.. i'd seriously debate buying it

 

Most of these answers seem strange to me. The only thing I would have kept on a high-performance improved quad would have been my auto-tranny. Most of you say manual... why not just get whats available on the market now??

 

automatics are nice in the fact that they keep the engine in the powerband for you, however they are known to be heavy & rob lots of power...
i personally think they are less fun

 

I've got nothing against auto's, but I love banging through gears and being in complete control of the revs.
