Cool to see the Kawazuki engineers taking photos, and making notes on Jeff's cdale at the Penton (check out the Penton pics)....they even stopped to eye mine in the pits on saturday afternoon, I didn't realize who they were at first, but a nest of birdies told what they were doing.

Aluminum framed KXF450....now that would be a step in the right direction...keep you eyes and ears open!!:D Definitely better than suzuki's new try at the 450 soon.....

They were gong around the track with an american rep from Kawasaki asking tons of question and having people fill out a form on what they want in a sport quad. They spent time looking at Most of the quads on pro row. It was funning listing to the american guy explain what a GPR steering stabilizer did. according to them they were with Kawi, and they are working on a sport quad seperate form susuki!

sounds like a meeting thing I went to years and years ago.... got invited to a conference room at a hotel, they asked us a bunch of questions, showed us pictures of "prototype" styles, asked which ones looked the best, the pros and cons of our current quads then paid us $40 for our time.... during the entire thing, they would not say who they represent, but when it came time for them to pay us with a travelers type check my buddy saw them pull the checks from a yamaha envelope...

That would be very nice for kawi and suzuki to go back to their seperate roots and stop this dual corp. thing that they have going on now. Also, a aluminum framed kfx450 would be the shiz :D but suzuki doesnt need to know about it so sshhhhh.

In truth though, it could be that if suzuki supplies the engine, kawasaki will develop the frame. -shrug- Maybe i'm just making rumors that will go away in a couple days but hell :D it's fun.

BTW, Mofo, you *** :o, how could you give yamaha the upper hand....wait...nevermind, craptors suck :D.
