I am sure that it is just speculation or wishfull thinking on his part. I for one am not going to wait one more year for a new quad. This is it, I'm not getting any younger. If you think back every year we have been hopefull for a new or improved quad from anybody. The writing on the wall is plain to see, big sport quads are here to stay. Unless Kawasaki releases something awesome, I will be in the market for a Banshee or a 250R.
