If they can put out a standard motorcycle with a hayabusa engine and call it the B-king they can put a busa engine on a king quad amirite?
though i'd prefer to see a single cylinder offering, even if it was an 850

all because i cant bring myself to pay for an ATV with proprietary bolt heads, it disgusts me

Sorry but Suzuki is done, they stopped production of a lot of their machines and have not made a new machine in years..........
In fact they are the only manufacturer left that does not build a SXS............Which will spell the end for them as there quads simply are not in demand much at all, any more..............

And the notion that SXS's are taking a measurable portion of market share away from quads is preposterous, very few people actually have them and those that do usually have them for the women and elderly, haha

A Well known large dealer in central Alberta sold 400 +RZRS.....And about 50 quads last year.

and how many of those purchasers already owned the quads they want? probably more than a few, first time buyers will generally start with an ATV regardless, its really comes down to what you see on the trail is'nt it? and there is no-where near a majority of side by sides.

Beyond any of that, they're not the same animal, if you're the type of person who doesn't mind sitting back and watching while the quads and bikes take all the best climbs through the tightest chutes, or doesn't mind spending half your time on the winch while in the mud or snow then a side by side is for you, on the other hand if you still have some real fight in ya, you'll be riding a good old traditional quad or dirt bike

Big Horn will not be for you.

Having owned 5 SXS and well over a Dozen quads, the sxs go a LOT better in the mud......The quads have a little advantage in the skeg. If you dissagree, you are most welcome to come for a ride and show us what that king can do. After of course, a small wager is placed of course............

haha, why a young gun such as yourself, with the vast knowledge you posses cannot hunt this info down. is beyond me,

with your riding ability you should be on the pro circuit in no time. what are you wasting your time wanting to ride such mediocre riding areas like big horn for.
