A Mean Green?

With Kawasaki losing the Suzuki Quadsport badged KFX400 look for the green team to introduce its own Pure Sport model this year.

Kawasaki dealers have done very well selling green Quadsports and likely won’t be long without a model in this growing, profitable segment.

We suspect a more powerful Pure Sport model will emerge from Kawasaki utilizing (as Honda and Yamaha have) technology from the company’s successful 4-stroke motocross bike program.

The Offshore Push

The onslaught of off-shore built kid sized ATVs into the North American marketplace has been almost unbelievable the past three years.

While the actual numbers of off-shore ATVs are not officially known for the same reasons as 2-up full sized 4-wheelers, industry estimates peg the number well in excess of 100,000 units; staggering.

Here’s what we suspect is weighing very heavy on the minds of the current big eight OEMs including Honda, Yamaha, Polaris, Arctic Cat, Suzuki, Kawasaki, BRP and John Deere: What if these off-shore models enter the full-sized market in earnest?

Classroom training will commence at 8:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. and will be taking place at the Caledon Community Complex located at 6215 Old Church Road, Caledon Ontario.

The Ontario ATV Search and Rescue Federation is a not for profit organization that provides local and provincial law enforcement agencies with trained volunteers who utilize all terrain vehicles for the search and rescue of missing persons in Ontario.

Hawkeye ATV Demo Tour

0

Press Release –

Polaris Industries is launching a six-week demo tour to introduce the all-new Hawkeye, the first mid-size ATV with full-size features. This no-compromise, 300cc ATV has all the features and toughness of a Big Bore machine guaranteed to let the rider experience the trails like never before – and they can! On the Polaris Hawkeye Demo Tour, consumers will be able to ride the new Hawkeye and experience the superior capabilities of one of the world’s toughest ATVs.

The Hawkeye Demo Tour will visit six locations in the Southeast U.S. between August 31 through October 16. The custom design mobile tour will introduce riders of all experience levels to the unique and innovative features of the Hawkeye.

The Tour will be in each market for one week and will include local dealership or community stops and a visit to an area ride park. Media and consumers will not only learn about the Hawkeye’s industry-leading features but also experience its capabilities on the trail.

At each ride park participants will enjoy free demo rides, dealer displays, product give-aways and have the opportunity to register to win a brand new Hawkeye.

The Hawkeye Demo Tour will kickoff in West Virginia during the National ATV and Dirt Bike Rally Week at the nationally recognized Hatfield-McCoy Trails in Pineville. The tour will make subsequent stops in Kentucky, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and conclude in Tennessee October 16.

New Deers?

0

After Bombardier announced it was discontinuing production of Traxter Max and Quest Max two-passenger models, we immediately wondered if they would show up in John Deere’s lineup.

We know some Bombardier dealers are very protective of the Max concept and don’t want to see any green 2-uppers in the future. However, we think it’s entirely possible the tough, gear-on-gear Traxter Max could become a green model shortly.

It’s interesting to note John Deere already has a model Bombardier never built for its own BRP dealers. We covered it last year in All-Terrain Vehicle Magazine – the Trail Buck 650 EXT dump truck.
