Richard Cheese Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 i think the big companys like honda and them should make race ready and dune ready quads out of the factory wat do you guys think. they can't. look at all the dumbazzes that get in a rhino and think they are casey mears after too many beers. get sideways, tip it, lose a leg, crush an ankle, kill the passenger..........and then sue yamaha for making an unsafe vehicle!!! the manufacturers are pushing the edge of the envelope.....the LIABILITY envelope.....after that, its the aftermarket companies you have to look towards BTW all happy thanksgiving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Cheese Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Can Am does. they do, but those effers still dont have a pure sport bike that i like......take the freekin 4wd and auto tranny off the renegade, and it would be close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of the crate it is ready for the MX track, and slap some paddles on and it's dune ready with no mods whatsoever. Their 09 models are even more so with the X version. And when Can Am's SxS hits the streets in 2010 it will eat the RZR S for breakfast. They don't joke around when they unleash their beast upon the public. R&D goes a loooong way for those guys. I get your point though, and hope you see mine as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sometimes think that duning is a small part of their business. Damfino. We need assumed risk laws like in Germany and Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingnut Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 The closest thing to a race-ready quad are the KTM's, right down to the kill switch. Can-Am is close, but they still aren't finishing many races. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midtravel Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 (edited) Your screwed Cheese. I heard That John Deere is going to make a quad just for you, But it might be a couple of years in the making LOL Edited November 30, 2008 by midtravel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

high octane junkie Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 i got to play with a ktm 505sx this weekend, a thing of beauty. the 450sx and 505 sx are truly race ready, and light. 363 pounds race ready, wet. $12,700 otd here in vegas.. it'll take two weeks to get the 450sx but i may have a new quad by christmas. =)~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aceisback Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 vic, Get a ds450 I would look like a circus bear on a tricycle on a DS450. :clown: Kinda like Mr. Cheese on the 650! :ah: I'm thinking maybe you have ulterior motives here. :black: I'm just saving up for a RZR S. Could possibly sell two of the DS's to speed up the process. Might you be in the market for one? :flatbiller: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
