Check out this new Kawi...https://atvconnection.com/atvconnect...00-V-FORCE.cfm!!!!
I read in here a few days ago that Suzuki is going to announce a new big bore sport quad in two weeks. Based on all that's happened between Suzuki and Kawi, think this is it?!

Well! This is quite interesting. Maybe some of the guys that have wanted a massive engine crammed into a sport chassis (myself included) will finally be satisfied now.

When the local woods were shut down I sold my dirtbike and started looking for a quad to dune with. I wanted a quadzilla but they were either clapped out or the price of a new bike. The closest I could come was the DS. I have never been dissapointed. I trade with people at the dunes to try other models and have the same thing to tell each of them, give my bike back.

Suzuki better take this and make it into a 4x4. Then you will see my 500i traded in!

I think Kawi is barking up the wrong tree, who the heck wants an automatic sport quad. On top of that, it weighs way too much, its about 100 lbs more than a Raptor. On top if that its kinda ugly.

This new Kawi is in no way direct competition to the DS, Raptor, Z, EX or any other sport quad. This is going after the people Scrambler market, sorta. This quad is going after a very untapped market. The auto is for people who just want to climb huge sand dunes and not have to worry about shifting or for people who just want to spin around and look cool with a big bad sport quad. Its all about money, why do you think the Fords and Dodges make their trucks look so huge, its all appearance for the average joe.

So the average Joe is going to try and one up his friend with a 700 twin sport quad! He will beat him at drags and hill climbing even if his friend is an excellent rider. People want to look big and cool and show off to their friends, this is what men do. I admit it, we are guilty as charged. Now bring on the 4x4 version with a locker!!!

I have doubts that a 700cc automatic in a drag race could beat a Raptor, DS, Cannondale or even a Z.
