I really doubt that the new Quadsport will be aluminum framed... Here are my guesses for the new sport quad(s).

LT400S- steel frame, aluminum subframe, 400cc four-stroke based off of DRZ-400S (electric start), swingarm/double a-arm suspension, single puck brakes front and rear, ugly yellow plastic...

LT250S- similar to the 400-class machine except using an air-cooled 250cc displacement engine. still manual tranny, but no sub frame (all steel). same ugly yellow plastic.

has Suzuki ever made a good looking quad?!? lol

The Suzuki will without a doubt use the DRZ motor. There is no way they will put more technology into an atv than their RM, an that is not alum. framed.To be blunt I really don't care what suzuki does, I want a new 250 and it won't be that.

Hey AlaskaTRX, I take it you are a Honda guy. So, have you noticed the 2001 400EX is also in yellow.

Though suzuki was the last out with their sport quads in 92, i don't believe they will be getting back in very soon. I believe what we'll see in their 400cc range are going to be sport/utility machines. More competition for the Kodiak, Recon and such. Even if we did see a sport machine from them, it would likely be a cookie cutter mold of the 400EX with suzuki stickers on it. But i would love to be proven wrong, as much as i doubt it. Bring back the Quadzilla!
