I'll add my voice as a previous Rubi owner. I love the tranny but the seat is hard as bricks. The ride on the KQ is so much better. I sold the rubi and will buy a KQ as soon as the 06 models hit my dealership. The power and sportiness of the KQ over the Rubi will amaze you. It is the difference between the little old lady driving to church in the old ford truck and driving there in a sports car. You will get there with both of them but you will enjoy the ride so much more with the KQ! Good luck with your decision.

 

Hey, why is that old, slow truck a Ford truck?

 

Well, my experience with my father-in-law's ford trucks shows that ithey iare much slower and less comfortable than my super chevy!!!!

Thanks so much for your kindness!!!! I would hate to have to watch my back for the next year!! To really tick some folks off I could have said Dodge rather than Ford! Oh well, it is always nice to see if folks are paying attention. Cheers,

 

Boy...all I can tell you is that My K.Q. has provided me with an incredible ride, power, durability, looks...etc. I think you get the point. Is it just me? But, i don't remember any model getting so much scrutinization. I mean its almost like everyone is looking for faults. Maybe thats good in a sense. Get the K.Q......you won't be sorry!

 

Agree 100%. Doesn't do anything the absolute best, but does absolutely everything great.

 

I LOVE mine. The only problem I know of is that the stock filter is crap. If you get one get a new filter asap.

 

I am very much looking forward to either getting one of these machines when the glitches of the earlier models have been overcome, or to getting whatever the competion offers in the near future to compete with it. It seems that as long as they're running great they are among the best in the marketplace. It would seem as if Suzuki has raised the bar on anything above a basic reliable machine (which my griz certainly is) and its going to be interesting to see how this affects the marketplace in the next two years. Kudos to Suzuki on so great engineering, and on taking care of issues (like the reverse issue) when being properly made aware of it!

 

Well hopefully now they will take care of the filter issue? This they are aware of as well.
