a very reliable atv source, also my friend at suzuki, has told me that suzuki is planning on releasing their 2006 Z450, he said he has seen a few different but similair sketches of the bike. he said it might be a late model 06' or early 07'. Also Z450 isnt the actual name for the quad. he hasnt heard the actual name yet. Also the engine is going to be a full 449CC's. ill tell more later

 

Riiiiiight

 

yea sure, i believe that (sarcasm)

 

i keep hearing its coming out sooner. i wouldnt mind seeing a sketch of it - get your freind to smuggle one back.

why does everyone doubt when sombody talks about a new bike coming out? i heard flack for months about the 450R..it came out. why wouldnt the QuadRacer 450? Suzuki is busy filling all the holes in their lineup and pretty much match yamaha and honda with bike choices - why wouldnt they match the 450-class racer?

 

hey twentycharacters definatly a good point, i didnt believe it when they said honda was comin out with the 450r well they did

 

its becuase its like alsmot everyone in these forums say they have a friend that works for yamaha, suzuki, honda etc. kinda hard to believe. and arent suzuki's made in japan then shipped to the US?? maybe they mean a dealer? but then they technically dont work for suzuki......

 

Zillarider87 if you think just because the machine is made in japan that you wont see it here being tested and that suzuki doesn't have engineers in the U.S. your clueless!

 

I believe that the 450 is coming soon, i even had a owner of a suzuki dealership tell me the same thing. Well he told me that they were comming out in spring of 05 as a early realease of 2006, like the kfx-700. But we can only cross our fingers and hope.

 

Suzuki will bring out a 450. In late 2003 on the speed channell i was watching a GNCC race and a man from susuki said himself that there was a new high performance quad in the works. Am I the only one who seen this or something? Ive never heard anyone else mention it. Dont doubt it. The Z450 will be out within summer of 05. Suzuki is taking thier time and trying to make the quad as good as possible. They dont have to be in a rush anyway. Look at the gnc rusults...lol. The Z400 when modified has no trouble holding its own.

 

I was the Assistant Sales manager at colorado powersports suzuki-yamaha-honda for 2 years untill mid september of this year and I'm gonna tell you from a dealers stand point , When a new machine is released there is a dealer meeting anywhere between 3-10 Days prior to the machine hitting the showroom floor or the dealer will recieve a dealer brochure which usually includes a movie descussing the details / specifics of the machine to prepare the dealers, The Rumors that the dealers leak out ( if any ) are Rumors that the Consumers heard from someone else usually claimed to be another dealer or( Quote/ Unquote - my friend that works for suzuki ) .. ITS ALL Speculation. don't believe anything you hear unless its publicly released from suzuki themselves. Just my 2 cents.
