Sounding like the Honda forum! Dream on folks. Suzuki has been hyping the dirt bike for a year now. Just go down to your dealer and try to buy one............you can't. I don't think that is because they are putting all those engines into quads instead of dirt bike frames. They are obviously having production problems. One source of speculation is that they know it isn't as good as the CRF, so they have gone back to the drawing board!

I hope kawi does it, that takes major balls to pull something like that.

Maybe the bike but I doubt the ATV. If you look at every 450 ATV on the market the motor had been developed in their dirbikes before it was ever considered in an ATV.


That has been the routine of most brands, but maybe Kawi wants to try and make a big impact. Time will tell.

Will suzuki be coming out with a 450 race quad in the near future


Posted by: rolsmojave3

so maybe this is why they dropped the Team Green support...to launch 2 new 450's at the same time...it's all coming together

i herd suzukis was cummin out this summer but Kawi's isnt comin out for at least another 1-2years unless they share a quad with Suzuki...again.

cant wait to see how it compares to the yfz and trx. gonna be awesome! i havent heard about the Z660 but that would be cool too...

Posted by: alwaysAz400rider

i sure hope that the z450 will have reverse! although it is probably unlikely. If it has reverse though i am gonna trade up to the 450

Posted by: alwaysAz400rider

ya.............not that bigga deal to me though. what i would really like to do is keep my z400 and buy the z450, but i know i would only ride the 450 and i also cannot afford them both. I guess if i were to do anything i would probably be better off just boring my 400 to a 440 or 470. I would probably save money if i did that.

suzuki's 450 is coming out in late june,kaw doesn't even have their 450 bike out yet ,so if they have one coming out not going to be till 2007.but i don't think they will make one.

Posted by: blackbird

guess we will see in late june of this year if the 450 suzuki is coming huh?and honda's not as fast as a yfz but honda still brought it out.both are good quad though.also what about the 07 450 yfz getting a new frame ,motor and suspenion so every manfacturer better step it up
