only proof i have is from this person from the inside .they know first hand.they told me it should be introduced in late june and in dealerships late aug.efi and kickstart is what i was told.and i told them kickstart that sucks.they said the electric start was scrapped to save weight.and they said it is going to be well worth it though

 

YOUR Timing is WAY off. The Suzuki Dealer show is in Dallas Texas this year, instead of Las Vegas. Yeah, whose bright idea was that anyway? The Dealer show is in OCTOBER. I bet dollars to doughnuts no one will see anything more than spy photos before then. I doubt it will have EFI, Mikuni carbs are great, and the engine is right off the RMZ-450. SO, reverse? maybe, electric start? maybe, EFI? not likely.

My question is whether it will be more race ready than the YFZ. I hope so. I hope it comes W-I-D-E, like a Predator or a Cannondale Moto. No need for A-arms and axle. AND Good shocks. It will have the power, will it have race ready handling and suspension? That is the only way to beat the YFZ.
We will See in October.

Dallas? Good grief! And the Polaris show is in Nashville, geez, what has this world come to? Bombardier is only doing regional "demonstrations". Dinner in Flagstaff.....sigh....hookers and hottubs....only a fleeting memory.....

 

ok... guess i will tell the person that told me this that you know more than them.guess we will see who is right ..info should be released about it in late june

 

I dont care when it comes out, I'm anxiously anticipating the 625 million threads argung about whether the z450 is faster than the yfz and the trx 450's...

 

Anybody want to guess whether or not they will continue to the Z400? It would be a crying shame to see it go after release of a 450.

 

why would they stop making the 400? honda didnt stop making the 400ex,so i am guessing suzuki wouldnt stop making the z400,besides,of they stopped making the z400,what would all the girls ride?----lol i am KIDDING i wish i had one
