I think Zoinks is full of ****. The table of contents does not list anything about the Suzuki and the cover says the photos are of two 250Rs and a Kasea.

Zoinks, unless I hear something different don't expect any help from me in these forums. Go back to atvbadlands.com loser.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

Carlos,
you can't just steal another quads look. I'm sure Yamaha would have something to say about that.
I think it is a trick by the mag, just to see the type of support it would recieve. Just look at the pic. It's a yellow Raptor.
The reverse **** is even the same. Same exhaust, same taillight etc. Suzuki would certainly have more imagination then to just steal like that.

There are many many mini quads out there that have the exact same plastic and in some cases the exact same parts setup. Go back and read about some of the tests in previous mags and you'll see. The most commonly copied plastic is the 400ex. I remember one mini had the exact same rear end as a Blaster. You would have thought Yamaha made it for them. As for larger quads, you don't see this as much because the Chinese and Taiwanese companies that makes all these look a like minis don't build bigger quads and the big Japanese manufacturers just don't do it. I'm guessing because uniqueness sells.

I think the uniqueness does sell. Who would buy an exact rip off of another quad? Competition from a 100cc quad is one thing, but to model it after a quad in the same class &amp; price range is another.
What's with the left brake? It mentions a &quot;left&quot; brake....

Are you sure its not a raptor chassis with yellow plastic that someone put a suzuki 400 motor stuffed in it? Or is this acually something suzuki is making?

I'm agree completely. All these people getting mags and not one person owns a scanner? Whatever. I'm not saying they are lying but as long as people have been waiting for a new Zuke, the opportunity is there to mess with people's minds.
