they need to start making 250cc 4 stroke based quads just like the 450s! I cant afford a 450 but I would love a 250 four stroke powdered bike :cool:

I'm willing to bet, if Suzuki came out with the same quad, offering a MX version and a XC version. The XC version would out sell it.
is the world goin to end?:huh

[B]Did anyone else notice in the pics of Doug Gust's quad that is posted, it has Walsh upper a-arms. Wasn't all the hype about this that the factory riders were going to ride stock arms and suspension?
Those are stock a arms the a arms that are on the suzuki come stock with walsh designed a arms.
i think you would be dissopointed, the 450 quads power is amazingly simular to a 125 or 250f dirtbike, so i think a 250f motor in a quad would feel more like an 85Quote:

Is there something funky with the ground clearance numbers?
the honda and yamaha both have 4.44" of ground clearance, and the LTR450 has 9.44"??? 5" difference seems a little much unless suzuki is measuring from the front instead of the swingarm.
sorry...my quotes were wrong
honda = 4.4"
yamaha = 4.4"
suzuki = 9.44"
still the same problem though.

They're measuring from different spots. The yammie and the honda are probably from the lowest point (rear brake disk/sprocket or the swingarm itself) whereas ZUK is probably measuring from the frame. Most racers will find 9.44 too high anyways.Quote:

thought they were runnin the stock front end? whats up with the Walsh sticker?? Or is that the stock?
suzuki comes stock with a walsh front end. but theres no way walsh can make that many a arms so im guessing theyre mass producing the a arms with walsh design. At the company im guessing they make them by hand pretty much like the welds. but they cant do that if there mass pruducing it. so machines do that but to the walsh design.
