You know, if they just made a machine without any obvious weak points, it just might sell. Suzuki gave it a reverse that the 400ex doesn't have. If their transmission and clutch holds up better than the Raptor and the whole machine weighs less than either a Polaris or DS650, they might have a winner. The only problem I see is that it has a motorcycle engine in it. Anytime you put twice to four times the amount of traction on a motorcycle engine something has to give. Usually it's either the gears or the clutch.

 

raptors and 400EX's both have motorcycle engines in them. this new suzuki has a dry weight thats less than a 400ex and i'm betting its quite a bit more powerful. your right, if the transmission and handling are good then this bike could be the next big thing.
