I talked to my dealer today, he says Suzuki IS announcing 8 new quads in July. He also said that no sport model has been confirmed yet, but I have a guess as to what it will be. None of this is based on facts, so don't take my words as correct.


400cc 4-stroke, right out of the DRZ+ reverse
lightweight chromoly frame
dual A-arms up front 8-10" travel
single shock, swingarm rear 8-10" travel
2wheel drive
manual clutch
and of course, Honda stomping speed!
Don't forget, this is only a guess.

 

i odunt it will have a chromoly frame. but its always a possibilty.

 

Don't forget the other "required" item, electric start.

 

All I know is that it better be more reliable than the Lt250r or Lt500r. If it is than I might just have to sell my Lt for one.

 

Actually, i wouldn't be suprised if they make a kick and electric start, like the bike.

 

guys i think i found out something on barry. i was a tower records store the other day and just happened to see a cd titled barry manilow love songs......he must listen to him a lot........and he's always putting down the new quad when it isn't even really all that official yet......i'm gettin tired of his crap.....anyone else? and this crapolis alaska?haha.....he says he owns a suzuki yet he still talks cap to everyone about their suzuki's......barry man the post started with a persons predictions and guesses........its a fricken opinion so get over it.heres my predictions:
450cc 4 stroke 4 valve single overhead cam 1piston

9in travel up front 12 in the back......lightweight greatly designed chassis
chain drivin 2 wheel drive
2001 Suzuki 450 Quadracer

 

ok he owns a rm250 and a three wheeler he's probably not even rode a quad in his life hahahah

 

Point is Bermbanger, the quad will use existing components, the DRZ motor, and it will be equipped with electric start and reverse, so don't pass it off as a racer and "better than the mighty 250R".It will be a good recreational sport quad.And I am not bashing Suzuki, I own an RM250 and love it, i'm just tired of the atv industry and (consumer) being so wimpy and lazy. And that thing about tower records and the love songs, that was hilarious you must have planned that out for a while huh?

400cc 4 valve 4stroke elec-start and reverse 380lbs+ 2001 Suzuki Q-sport 400.

 

A 3wheeler isn't an atv?

 

i didn't say it wasn't an atv i said you havn't ever rode a QUAD haha
