I am excited because I have seen it at the dealer and it looked good. Someone has to be the first to buy a new product on anything. I think it will end up being a great quad. My only deal is the final price. It just will not make sense to get a 450 if I can get the 700 for 700 to a 1000 more. Also it would be hard to turn down a brute force 650 for the same price. I think if I could get the 450 for 5750 OTD then I would probally get it.

 

Than that mean a new 500 Vinson will be cheaper than the 450! Now that makes no sense.

I ride with a 450 Kodiak and it does not compare to the power of a 500. The extra power and speed would mean more to me than diff lock and IRS .

 

Makes good sense to me on the price. The 450KQ has more goodies and a more expensive design(irs, etc.) so it should be more expensive. As far as power is concerned, there is no gaurantee that simply having a bigger motor means more power. State of tune and engine design are what gets the power. If Can-Am can make a 650 that is more powerful than just about every one elses top ute engine, why can't Suzuki design a 450 more powerful than thier own 500? As for that Kodiak, Yamaha's engine is definately in a low state of tune there. Nothing wrong with the quads, but the engine is pretty tame compared too others in its' class.

 

Straight quote from Suzuki's latest media page.

Advantages of the KingQuad 700's fuel injection system include reduced fuel consumption overall. Also, there are no choke operations or carburetor settings to consider. Electronic fuel injection provides better throttle response and smoother engine power than a mechanical carburetor.

 

Since when did the kingquad 700 come up?

 

People were debating about the choke issue very early on. The KQ 450 and KQ 700 are virtually the same less a few small things

 

Gee golly I think you should........waaaaaake up. It looks nice?Some body has to buy the new products ?Your not going to make up 250ccs All the kings pipes and all the kings new tech aint gonna geter done. But you go ahead and buy it maybe that lever really runs the secret hiiiiigh tech jet engine. Or maybe it comes with your own personal made in china Alabama ,Japan can of wupp ash......

 

I have no idea what that last post meant?????? Nobody said it is gonna make up 250cc. Not everybody needs a 700 I guess that is why the 350 rancher is the most popular atv in the country.

 

Do u think Suzuki decided to put a new air filter in this one or do u suppose they are going to let that minor detail go?

 

Mr daviddsims is right. The Honda Rancher is the most popular and the best selling 4x4, but many people want an ATV that attracts attention and stands out, or they want an ATV nobody else owns, everybody wants to be creative and make a statement about themselves based on what type of ATV they own saying im smarter and better than you cause I have a faster or a better looking ATV than you have. This is the reason why they change and make different models every year, but I believe the more they change and bring out a new model of any ATV the quality of that ATV goes down. The Rancher, Eiger, and Big Bear have been made the same way for a long time and over time they have shown these models are reliable and proven performers so that the people that do buy the older, unchanged models feel secure they have a good ATV. Me, I would NEVER purchace any first year model cause its unknown to me how this new model will perform or how good or reliable it is. I feel good about myself that I only paid $4399 for an ATV that can do anything any $6999 ATV can do and I feel bad for the guys that paid $6999 for an ATV that they have nothing but trouble with. Just because any ATV costs more or its more powerful doesn't mean its better.
