"For example, if Honda would simply put a locker in their ATV's... they would put a hurting on the other manufacturers in a hurry. If they added just a little more power, those other folks would really start to sweat"

With what you described right here is a major part of why I bought my Grizz. Decent power, great durability and great trail ability/ride comfort not to mention overall weight are what sold me.

 

That's why I said "especially Honda" in my original post.

Let's not kid ourselves though... If Suzuki, Yamaha, or Honda come out with a big bore "twin"... there will be a rush to the dealers.
