Everybody is getting there own version of a Z400. 3 manufactures, 1 Quad, LOL, KIND OF FUNNY
SUZUKI, KAWASAKI, ARTIC CAT, WHOS NEXT??????????????? HONDA
Well it should drive aftermarket upgrades through the roof. MAYBE COST DOWN??

 

Well, if I had an Ex I would put the motor in it. (Or the 450!)

 

IF YOU CAN'T BEAT EM, JOIN EM or at least COPY THEM

So much for being original, Not to mention you quickly eliminate you competition when everybody has the same thing, I guess they are all EQUALS

 

hondas not gonna copy the z400 but beat them in every aspect whenever there quad gets designed or introduced. The honda will have better top speed,aceleration,handeling and suspension. ALl this will come at a price tho so everyone get ready!

 

It will be a long time before Honda catches up. Why wait for something that may never happen, there are to many nice sport quads to choose from.

 

Honda does have a knack for being behind, don't they? When they do get around to catching up, they usually have great quads. But who wants to wait all the time?

 

My dealer(who sells Honda and Kawasaki) told me that Honda is having trouble adapting the Rincons rear drum brake system over to the new sport quad.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

I don't know about two...but there is one model being shown to the dealers at the Honda Dealer Convention in September. Two models would be even better.

Honda spent major dough on their motorcycles and watercraft projects over the last three years.

Our rep said more money went into the GoldWing1800 and VTX1800 projects than any other single entry in powersports history. That's why the focus of off road models only started this past year. They already released the CRF450R last year with the CRF150 and CRF230 coming next month. A CRF250R fourstroke motocrosser will be announced in September.

Another thing that has held them back until now is that they are also entering ANOTHER category which will be ANOTHER FIRST for Honda.

Look for their new SNOWMOBILE to be announced at the dealer show!!

 

HONDA SNOWMOBILE!!??
It has to be a 4-stroker right? Honda would never release a 2 stroker! I am planning buying the Firecat F7 with my SSI money.

 

No info will be given until the dealer show, but I also expect it to be a four stroke.

there had been rumors of a snowmobile in the works since they announced they were building a watercraft two years ago.

Honda just told some of their reps about it a few weeks ago.

My rep has a habit of talking when he shouldn't.
