The Suzuki rep was in today!!!

My good friend just called who works at the local Suzuki dealer and told me that the rep for Suzuki was just in and was able to confirm that Suzuki did have a new sport quad that would be manufactored in some new plant here in the US. The only details he had was that it is a 500cc 4stroke with an aluminum frame!!!!! He also said that everything about this quad was new from the ground up!

I'm sure most of you may not believe me. I have nothing to gain from wasting my time posting this. I'm sure now that its this far out we will read about it very soon, at that time I'll be back to say "I told you so"

I just hope it's good enough to pull me off my Honda. With an aluuminum frame things could start to get very intreasting in the sport quad world!!!!!!!

 

I cant wait to see it!!!!! If its awsome I might have to sell my Lt250r. But I doubt I will unless its a 2stroke around 500cc!

Ceet seat cover,DG alloy front bumper,DG alloy rear grabar,DG alloy nerf bars ,Emgo bars,Pro design kill switch,Pual turner pipe,Fatboy silencer,Maier plastic(Looks awsome I put lots of cool stickers on it),Uni air filter,Shockwears,Parking brake block off,RTC clutch lever,Motion pro twist throttle(took a while to get used to!),Leager A arms ,Ohlins front shocks(got them with the quad the look kinda old),Homemade motor skid(from speed limit sign),Turf tammers on back,IPT hole shot up front,And probly other stuff to but I cant think of all of them rite now.

Yeah right. Suzuki doesn't put Aluminum on RM's so why would they put it on an LT? And my bet is the engine would be around 400 (right out of the DRZ). I hope you are right, but it is not likely.

 

I heard somewhere that it was gonna be the DRZ motor too, but I was talkin with the dealer and they said they were gonna boost the CC's in the DRZ motor like Yamaha did in the YZ426. But they were gonna add somewhere in the vicinity of like 50 cc's. If so, that should easily put the Suzi ahead of the 400 ex(lax) and below the over bored Raptor.

 

It's great to see that suzuki is coming back into the sport quad market. Hope to see more new sport quads introduced in the near future.

 

I've been waiting on Suzuki for a long time. I won't believe it until I see it. I've just about given up on 'em.

 

alright now heres the deal.Suzuki and arctic cat are sharing engines(always have) and arctic cat will come out with a 400 4 stroke pure sport.and so will suzuki.but i wouldn't doubt them making it to a 500 but they are starting out with a 400 in testing.i think SOME of the frame will be aluminum such as the rear subframe

 

The DRZ is already far ahead of the Honda. More power, quicker revvs and lighter weight. Plus, Yoshimura makes high revv kits and fully Titanium exhaust (header and canister). They make 500 cc kits and just about everything else for the engine already!

 

I think bermbanger is onto something. The rear subframe may be aluminum but that will be it. I also believe they will use a variation of the DRZ 400 motor. I doubt the new Suzuki will be revolutionary in any way. I wonder what it will be called, quadracer or quadsport?

 

Did you guys not read the news release about new suzuki models? check out the story on this web site about the new suzuki plant...This sounds like an actual press release to me...Here's a quote:

The new manufacturing facility is only one example of this strong commitment. In addition, Suzuki will introduce three new ATV models in the U.S. in the first half of 2001: the LT-A50, the LT-A400F and the LT-A400 and another four new models later in the year...........
HELLOOOOOOO! Doesnt this say something?
