The June 13th product launch introduces five new machines: The LT-A400, LT-A400F, LT-F400, LT-F400F, and LT-A500F. They’ll continue later on in 2001 and in subsequent years with new more and exciting models that will further strengthen our ATV lineup and help us reestablish Suzuki as a leading player in the ATV arena.

This is from this site for more info. and details on the new VINSON AND EIGER atvs.

While at my local Honda dealer today American Suzuki was there picking up a Honda 400ex.The service manager was talking with the Suzuki people and found out that it is being tested against their new 400 sport quad.The 400 engine is taken from there dirt bike line and is designed to go head to head with the 400ex.This is for sure info guys.

Well, here is a new grind from the rumor mill! I talked with my Suzuki dealer yesterday about the new Vinson...he hinted about waiting till this fall around late Sept.-early Oct., he had heard a rumor from his rep about Suzuki playing with a 800 V-twin from out of the Intruder. I guess Cat has been pushing for a big cubic inch ATV ( I own a 1000cc snowmobile of theirs...its a ripper!) And we all know Cat and Suzuki are in bed together...could it be the arrival this fall of the K-2 or Everest???

So you all are saying that Suzuki DOES plan to put the DRZ400 engine in a sport quad chassis???????? I thought that was all just pure speculation. Hey, Doug Gust is doing awesome on his, I hope it soes go into production!

I can't wait. I hope it is better than all the other 4-Strokes out there on the market. I still hope that suzuki brings out a 2-stroke. Look back in the early 80's, they were the first to make a quad, or at least I thought! Maybe them and Kawie will shoch us with 2-strokes, I doubt it though

Guaranteed, Suzuki DRZ 400 sport quad is already built and being tested against the Honda 400ex.That is straight from American Suzuki.
