sounds like the ideal gncc quad.

i think that that would be a prety cool bike, fuel injected, and revearse, it dindnt give to much info on it tho, i dont think that this bike will come out any time soon if at all...

i think it will come out to big of a market now not to come out.

Dirtwheels said maybe well see it by late summer... It is supposed to be a new quad from the ground up and nothing to do with the R450... looks pretty cool in the sneak peeks if you ask me.

nope want have anythign to do with the r450 kawasak and suzuki had a fall out over the buildin of the 450 so they decided to build there own mayeb kawasaki will learn from suzukis mistakes and step it up to be becide ro above the honda and yamaha

what mistakes did suzuki make? beside building the A out of the box Race Quad?
Suzuki Stepped it up Big time! now Its goin to be interesting to see what everyone Else Does in 08

yea i will give them credit. but ive also hear they just don't match up in the power liek the other 450's as far as a race quad yes by far its better because of handling and stuff but if kawasaki builds the chassis and everythign like suzuki did and put the same or more power as the honda and yamaha out of the box then kawasaki will have bettered the suzuki honda and yamaha wouldn't they ?

41 rwhp Stock"Spark arrestor and air box lid removed" they compare just fine!

I think it's going to be a cross country quad with the reverse. I personally don't feel the LTR has near as much power as a YFZ or 450R, but the only one I've ridden on a track only had a cherry bomb, no lid or baffle, I bet the pipe makes a big difference though.

your supose to say it compares fine you own one lol. and just because it has revers don't mean it will be a xc bike the z400 and kfx 400 both have reverse. they are just addin a creature comfort for slackers like me. even when the mags tested the ltr 450 they said it lacked in power but made up in handling

Yeah just another selection to make you think harder for your purchase...but thats good. Ive also heard that it lacks in power, but idk, i havent riden one. Good point with the reverse, raptor 700 has it and I use alll the time. Thats a smart move. And the aluminum chasis, thats would be great, alot light i would think
