Anyone heard any rumors of Suzuki/Kawasaki unvailing a 450 late next year... Just trying to clear up some rumors I heard last weekend

 

Rumours abound, no one has any up to date factual information. All we know is that one is in the works. No release date, not even a report of a prototype. Do a search and you will find all kinds of posts like this one.

 

I talked to a dealer the other weak and he said spring of 05 is when they are going to release them. Like early released of 06 is what he said. Sort of like the kfx700 and how they were released. BUT we can only hope and prey.

 

i talked to a dealer here in vegas and i heard the same about an early release of an 06 model

 

suzuki and kawasaki will be working on there own project. they are not merged

 

ditto

 

There is also talk that instead of a 450, they are building a 500. I would believe that, because with Gust, they dont need a 450 to compete in the races, but they sure do to compete in the sales.
