on a mid 50hp quad people have trouble using all its power. can you imagine how long the swingarm would have to be to keep 160+ hp on all fours. shees with 100hp have massive swingarms and still pull wheelies. its just not logical to put a motor like that in a quad frame. and i would like to see an inline 2cyl 4stroke twin to replace the shee maybe like a 450 or 500.

yes, all the law suits and dead people would be interesting. i agree with blackbird as well. have you seen some of the drag quads that have streetbike engines in them. they have really long swingarms and wheelie bars. that would have to come stock. yamaha would only make it for a race ready drag bike. im sure it would be insane tho!!!
