Husaberg sold out to another company, they claim that they have no plans on releasing a quad soon. Gas Gas is done, no quad coming out, period. Cannondale, I can't see them releasing anything but mountain bikes, their MX bike never made it to production, they've been talking about it for what, four years now? They seem to be rebuilding the FX400 from the ground up, you're probably realistically looking at another four years. They will be all but forgotten by then. Personally, I thought the Husaberg looked really cool.

Quadfather.


The Husaberg, Gas-Gas and to some extent Cannondale(still a plausable reality) were wishful thinking,
hope dose spring eternal.

Who Knows for sure, ATK has stated they will bring
some Husaberg ATV's in, lets hope this is not idle
talk, Cannondale appears to be going ahead with their's, and I did read somewhere Gas-Gas is No-Go
with the Gnu, very disappointing.

On a different note what do you think of your Kodiak?

Ride on to a Great Day!

I love the Kodiak. I don't ride it much. I bought it for deer camp, which the season starts first Monday after Thanksgiving.

Quadfather..

What was the point of your initial reply at the start of this thread... Cant you read??

Dec. 2000 ATV Action shootout - DS vs. 660R...

Thats what this post was on, what it said, and what the responses should be about. Again, I must say..you must not have read this shootout, since every one of your "reply" quotes had nothing to do with the shootout in reference.

Do you own a DS I pressume? If not....whats your prob. man..

Weibz: You asked why I was in the Yamaha foum if I own a Polaris, I also own a Yamaha Kodiak.I referenced the Dirtwheels shootout to show the diversity of the outcomes different magazines can have. Although it was the same quad, and the same publication company, they sometimes do a 180 on their opinion of the same quad.

XR250: do you think that saying people who ride Polaris quads are queer adds any useful info to this forum?

No, I asked why you were posting stuff , that had nothing to do with the topic Thread.

Atv Action shootout.

Your responses just were stuck there, as if we were supposed to think they were from the same shootout. However, I do agree that the shootouts are bogus, and mags vary much on the same quad. LoL.

I was just happy to hear that the Raptor is doing well - and much "better" than everyone thought it was gonna be.

I have a Polaris 400L myself , and I love it. But I had to have a Raptor as well. The 400L is fast and a great trail/Hill climber and very fun all around..but I couldnt hit very big jumps, without my swingarm breaking . With some money, and some expensive mods..yes, they can be made more sturdy, but I just left it alone ( got lots of speed mods though..hehe) , and got a Raptor for my other needs. So far...great combo. All I could ask for.
