im looking to buy the z in the spring of 2003.is there any word on modifacations,coulors and that sort of thing?

 

The Suzuki annual dealer show is less than two weeks away. As are the Honda and Kawasaki dealer shows as well.

Any new ATVs or changes to current models will be announced then.


By the way....Take this as you will, but I heard something said by someone else last week that I will quote here. May have been a joke without a smile, but I think he was serious.

"If we can build the fastest production motorcycle that does just under 200mph, then who's to say that we can't build the fastest production four wheeler that does just under 100mph"

I'm not arguing with him. I just want to see it first.

 

I'm looking into my crystal ball...Suzuki will release a cheap performance package for current Z owners, giving the Z 25% more power! hehe. I have no idea. Just fooling around. They better release a big bore for 2003 fall or 2004 spring or else they will be doing the same thing as they were for the last 10 years, sitting on their butts!

 

bbertram nice machine im getting one spring of 2003.those z 400 have had good reveiws,what do you think?you live in manitoba finally a fellow canadian.i was looking at your pics and thought that snoe looks like canada.haha thanks

 

Its rare to find fellow Canadians on these forums. I love my Z, its powerfull and fast. The stock axle is kinda wimpy, I bent 2 stockers and I now have Lonestar axle. Other than that they are great. I bet the newer Z's have stronger axles.

We get lots of snow! We have snow for about 8 or 9 months of the year. Its fun on the quad.

 

Patrick, you know better than to trust the Suzuki reps after they've had a few cups of saki...

 

LOL

You're exactly right. that's why I threw in the "Take it as you will" part.

If you thought the Suzuki/Kawasaki venture is completly crazy from you guy's point of view, you should see it from the dealer's end.

Get this....When we got our 2003 shipment of service manuals for the Kawasaki's a while back....the one's that came for models built by Suzuki in origin stated in the first few pages that if you need to purchase replacement parts, to see your local Suzuki dealer!! Go to the first chapter and it say the opposite. Just a typo, i know, but funny as hell. If they make these kinds of mistakes, then what else is lying around thast no one has found yet??

Parts wise....being that we sell both Suzuki and Kawasaki, I now have two sources for parts when something is backordered. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
