Guys,

My brother just purchased a new Predator this weekend and man it rips as most of you know. Don't get me wrong, I still love my 400, but I'm ready for Honda to out with something that'll keep up with the big bore machines at top end.

There, I had to say it....

Has anyone heard if Honda is doing R&D and a new sport quad?

James

Rule 1: Dont believe Dirt Wheels.

Rule 2: Do a seach and check out other people's opinions in the other hundred post about this subject. :p

I agree 100%. Dirt wheels does more advertising in their articles then in they're actual advertisements. B/c the manufacturers send them the quads to test, they write an article on it to advertise it's good's, and it keeps the bad's quiet. I believe all atv mag's do that.

I mean, I read them and love to do it...But I don't believe they're reviews, I kinda believe they're shoot-outs, but not fully

You'd be fine. If you rode a CR80, that's a litttle screamer! 400 can be easily tamed and turned into the ultimate racer too!

I know dirt wheels is correct when they are comin out, but when they test them-it is half truth and haf-advertising. They are not gonna say that a new quad sux when the manufacturer sent them one to test.

Honda always takes their sweet ***** time putting out new quads. When and if they do put out a new sport quad, you can bet it will be better than anything out there. As long as I have my 250r, I could care less when and if they build a new quad. It would be nice to see a new quad from Honda, besides a Rancher.
