Any one know what it is ?

Maybe a 400 :ermm:, if its something great honda is in deep **** they have fell behind so much

[Fred55]

Ive heard a raptor 700 and a redesigned yfz

[sampleez]

i think there's supposed to be someone from ********.com there and they're gonna have all the info at around 9pm. i can't wait!!! if some of the rumors are true, it's gonna be tits fo sho.

I do think yamaha should do away wit the 350 motor and build a 400 one, to compete better wit honda.

[nosliw]

a true 450 would be nice

[Fred55]

10cc wont even do all that much, look at cannondales..they are really 432cc, but they arent any slower.

[nosliw]

probably not, but until then it's still a yfzfo-fodiy in my book

i would really like to see a 400cc sport quad from them. something with electric start and reverse, but if they do it will look like a damn raptor.

[TRX_450]

yea and hondas startin to make all their machines look alike too

true that:rolleyes:

[YFZ450Ridr]

if yamaha made a 400 with liquid cooling like the Z, my pops would be THE first one to buy one lol. ever since i got my 400 and my friend has a 450, he is so behind on his warrior now, he hates me and my friends being faster:p

and as for the raptor 700, why would they need to do that, its already a 660. but i did hear that they were doing some mods to the raptor. trying to make it loose a little weight, longer axle, ect.

i bet once the 2 strokes are out, the blaster will become a 250cc 4 stroke like the z250 and 250ex which will be a sad site, u can make a blaster rip :(

actually i think they wont make it an auto tranny like the z250 and the 250ex....i think they will put a yz250f motor in a totally redesigned frame and that will take place of the blaster

If they did that I bet it would be alot better then todays blaster.

[TCracin440ex]

hell yea i think it would too...and it would be something that could be ridden in the youth atv classes on the mx track....and im betting if yamaha put their yz 250f motor in a quad frame i bet honda will jump in and put their crf 250 motor in a quad frame...it would be a big hit on the mx track for younger riders that aint quite old enuff to race the bigger machines

[One_Bad_400]

they are getting rid of the banshee but not all 2-smokes are going... l they have to do is reach a standard or what ever..

[Punk'd]

I cant wait to see what they have for us this year! I really hope this is a good year for all companys im ready for a big surprize:macho

[TCracin440ex]

[YFZ450Ridr]

what ever happpened to the rumors of the z-450? wasnt it supposed to be released in like mid june?

[baker250r]

I was talkin with Gust at quad lympics up here in wisconsin alst weekend.... yes, he raced with us locals... and boy he wooped the A class ridres butts. haha. but anyways. he said that they are comin out with the -LTR 450- later in the summer. he said he has seen it, but not rode it yet... I find that hard to believe... but I guess if he said it.. He said it is nothing like the z400. diff frame, plastic and everything. he also said its sposed to squat more like the yfz, andis sposed to be wide out of the box. I cant wait to see it.

DirtWheels also said late summer for the Suzuki and that it was going to come out of the box wide and low.
