Yes a modern day QUADZILLA from Suzuki would be nice, there was a article in Dirt Wheels or ATV Action a while back about Suzuki developing a 800cc sport quad to go head to head with the Rappy and DS, they used the motor from the euro DR800 road trail bike.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

What He Says Is True.. I Have Heard The Same Thing. You Wanna Z-450.. Call Yoshi... Lol.

 

that would be cool a z450 ill save up for 1 of those alright

 

How dow the Z-450's do against the YFZ's?

Someone on here must have raced one!

I think an honest comparison would be a LTZ450 Yoshi vs. a YFZ 450 with an aftermarket pipe and air filter AND Cam.


The 400 has a market. For a short time people were buying them that would probably rather have bought a 450 class but, now that the 450's are out I think you either want a 400 because it is reasonably priced and has reverse or you want a 450 class because it has a racing suspension and more power.

I think having a 450 Suz would help the dealers. They don't have to send someone down the road to take a look at a 450. They can keep someone in their dealership and let them decide which Suz they want not if they want a Suz or Yamaha/Honda 450. This is the same reason you find a lot of highway exits with more than one fast food place and Auto-Malls are so big. The more competition in the same location the better each individual place does.

 

yea wats with just a 50cc upgrade if they were realy smart make it a 500 or even a 600 that wighs light and good ground clearince

 

It's more than 'just' 50 more cc's- to be major competitive, a la YFZ and 450R class then ya gotta shave weight, to do that the reverse gear will have to be ditched, therefore a whole new quad will be necesarry........
