With Suzuki capably moving the King Quad IRS platform into 750, 500 and 450 variants with little fuss and a ton of common tooling, we wonder if Yamaha’s next move might be a 400 or 450cc Grizzly using the new 550/700 platform.
The Suzuki KQ 450 is a stellar performer in the sub 500cc class and the new Grizzly chassis is a lithe and versatile performer with a 550 or 700 engine.
Its no secret Yamaha’s Grizzly 421cc motor is a strong performer and the new chassis is already set up for power steering. Perhaps blending the new and the old might just make for an impressive new 450 Grizzly.
