I assume the main reason is the weight and size issue. Twin cylinder 4 strokes are big and not effecient in something the size of a quad. Compair the size of the Kawi V-Force to a banshee twin cylinder then you'll see the major difference.

Aprilla has a new 450cc V-twin that is Small/Light,and revs to 14,000 RPM's
The technology is out thier, but ATV's only get motors that the dirt/street bikes dont wont anymore, So they repackage it in a ATV and call it EXCITING!!
Bigger.

Check this new engine that Aprillia is developing
Aprilia explores the frontiers of technology with their 45.V2 engine for the world of off-road bikes, consisting of two ultracompact V-cylinders with high specific horsepower and record light weight. It was considered an impossible feat to exploit the benefits of a twin-cylinder engine in off-road races: only Aprilia could try something as brave and as innovative with such great confidence.
EICMA: THE 45.V2 ENGINE, SOMETHING ABSOLUTELY NEW!

I hope that Aprillia puts this engine in a Quad ...
