So I am guessing that you can not stand any of the car companies out there ? Toyota, Nissan, Isuzu, Chevy, and Dodge all copied Ford, by putting a 6ft and 8ft bed on there frames. Or giving us the option to have 2 or 4 doors on our cars. But wait, DMC decided to be different and make a sports car with a stainless steel body. Where did those go ? NO WHERE he flopped and his cars flopped.

Point is, if you got a good thing going then why not share with the others, there are differences between all models. Why change something if it works. I am not pro any company, but why did Yamaha come out with the first 450 ? Cause they had the ***** to do so, now they just have to except that Honda made there version with some simular and better items, and honda has to expect/except that suzuki will make one with simular and better items. Its just they way it goes. No reason to cry about.Doubt Yamaha,Honda, and Suzuki are.

Wonder if the guy that made the first message board is crying cause so many people copied him. Doubt it.

 

It'd be nice for something new & inovative but if they keep making good quads i have no complaints...

 

i agree, suzuki blew the ATV world away when they came out the the LT500R's, changed the way companies looked at future high performance quads

 

I think Cannondale came out with a truely innovative series of quads, aluminum spar frame, cassette style tranny, fuel injection and quality aftermarket shocks as stock equipment. Too bad they went under. With what they offered, I dont think they were really overpriced, its just hard to pay for those goodies all at once.

 

Man, I want a Quadzilla.Haha I just felt like saying that.

 

Suzuki invented four wheelers and Cannondale offered the only race ready quad ever built..

 

I agree with whoever said that cannondale came out with some nice quality equipment. That's a truely unique brand. For everyone who got offended, i didn't mean any harm...just making an observation...and progress is always good, but it just sucks to watch brands like honda and yamaha get outdone on their own design. things like the 400ex should have been upgraded a long while back...same with the raptor...id actually love to see one of the major production companys put out a monster 2 stroke, or bring back one of the classics before 2-strokes meet their production demise...just something different

 

personally zilla's suck and ill never own another one.

the 250r and the lt250r are nothing alike. In that comparison it would have done suzuki good to wait until the release of the 250r.

 

Its not stupid its smart. And like Bubba297 said, Suzuki was the first person to ever make a four wheeler, does that mean everyone from that day on is copying them?

 

Of course it doesn't make them stupid...my gripe is with the original manufacturers of the design...Maybe brands like Honda and Yamaha need to start updating somethings..
