Kawi coming out with a new sport 450??

[2fun]

I heard that Kawi will be releasing a new 450 sometime this year. Anyone else know anything about this, or is it just a rumor? :

[Spitfire]

I haven't heard of that....but it seems to be the "trend" so why not?

that sounds sweet if you get any pics post them

[2fun]

True. I know Suzuki and Kawasaki must be loosing a TON of money to the new 450's out there! One would think that would be motivation enough eh? :

[Shifting]

How late are they with the RMZ450? At this rate you will have your sport quad from Suzuki/Kawi around summer....2007!

[2fun]

Good point shifting.
I heard the bike will also be out this summer. Heard anything on that?? :

New bikes are needed i would love to have a kawasaki 450 that would be sweet i just like th green color. But a zuki would be aswome as well makes up for them only haveing 2 sport quads that kind of sucks.

I wonder if the Kawi and Zuk ATVs will be the exact same except for the plastics like they are for the Z400??

[Woody_YZF]

Kawasaki and Suzuki are making their own 450's is the rumor. Who knows for sure. I would expect them to be out for the 2006 season.

I haven't heard about the Kawasaki, but there was a comment on one of the Outdoor channel's ATV shows awhile back about Suzuki possible comming out with an early model 2006 next summer.

Speaking of getting with the now, I'm glad to see Honda finally stepped up to the plate with a 450!

Now it seems like EVERYONE is jumping on the 450 bandwagon!
Thats ok with me though. Competition is ALWAYS good for the consumer!!

I agree Dice. The YFZ is gonna be hard to beat. It will be interesting to say the least!

If they DO beat the YFZ, I say all the better! Competition is great for us!

I must say, Suzuki did one heck of a job with the Z400. I would hope that Kawi could keep par with the Zuk's quality, while still stepping it up!
