Bingo the first year of any quad usually has its problems. Plus from reading the specs on the new 450 I just think its over priced. I think they have a good thing going with the new 450 sport bike and they think that will carry over. All I was trying to say was the price between the 700 and 450 are too close.Theres nothing worse than getting home after youve begged your wife on bended knee,told her buck rodgers himself endorsed this bike onlly to have every other bike except a few dinli quads eat your lunch.The price is just tooooooooooo close.

 

I will agree a hundred percent about the price being too close. If I could get a 700 for 800 more it just makes sense to do that. I havent even bargained with the dealer but you could also get a grizzly 450 with just about everything for less also. They will have to come down below 6K on this bike for it to sell.

 

You hit the nail on the head!

Has anyone anywhere bought one yet? Haven't seen anything on any of the various forums. Just questions.

If you look on the Suzuki website, you will see the various parts, such as the bumpers and skids, cross over. So that confirms they just put the smaller engine in the 700's frame to save money and development time.

 

Yeah I havent heard of one being bought yet on any forum. So obviously not alot of buzz in the atv world.

 

I agree with you totally. Since the KQ450 has all the bells and whistles that the big bores do, I think it will probably be a huge seller for the price. And, remember that about 6 years ago a 450-500cc quad was the "big bores" back then and they did everything we wanted them to then. If I was looking for a quad in that class, I would definetly look at the KQ450 b/c of the efi and everything else it offers.

 

 

Bought the 700 today 6400 otd. wish you luck.

 

Holy cow is MotoF150 the best or what???? I think we should nominate him for the noble peace prise for having an IQ slightly lower than a dung bettle. You keep think that Moto. WOW, no wonder aliens don't visit earth.........they see people like Moto and say, "There is not intellegent life down there, lets not return.....LOL.

 

Congrads on the new KQ700 and looks like you got an awesome deal. I would jump on one at that price too. Let us know how you like it and what mods & aftermarket items you add to it.

 

I try so hard in here, I feel all alone and isolated, I can't believe none of you guys believe me, I get my facts from a motorcycle, atv dealer thats been in this business for a long time. If you have a Kawasaki, Yamaha, Suzuki most, but not all the engines are designed by the same engineer and made in the same factory in China, that doesn't mean these engines look the same or have the same size internal parts or they are the same cc size, its just they are made at the same factory in China. here is how it works, Suzuki wants a new model atv, they get their design people and go to an independent engineer in Japan and they get together and design it, next they put out a contract on 10K engines and frames to be built in a certain time limit, a major factory in China picks up this contract and produces the engines and frames, they are shipped over to the US where they are assembled, but the same engineering group in Japan and the same factory in China does it the exact same way for Yamaha, Honda, Kawasaki, Arctic Cat, Polaris and the China brands atv's.
