2018 – what do you want to see

it’s that time of year again. Time to start talking about what we think we’ll see in the new releases for 2018.

Now, I’d like to encourage this thread to stay realistic. we’re not going to see a 4 cylinder 2000 cc machine, or a 1000 cc 2 stroke, or anything like that.

But it would be nice to see what people would like to see on next years models that could actually happen.

I think that we might see an 850/1k Utility machine. With the updated plastics on the 850/1k I don’t see them doing much there save maybe moving to LED lights up front or updating the plastics of the touring models of those machines.

We may see a small bump in HP in the 570 models.

Colors options are always options that can be easily changes for model years. I really wish they’d look at other options than Green & Red for the "standard" options. The blue looks good, and the Orange and Yellow that were available last year were nice as well. I’m also still a big fan of the white machines as well.

I still think they are skipping a large section of the market by not having any sort of midsize machine options available in the 300-500 cc range. I really think a midsize frame with 2 different power plant options would fit nicely into the market for those riders that are younger, but larger in stature but still shouldn’t be on a 570/850, or for those of smaller stature that just don’t fit well on the fullsize machines. I’d like to see a two HP options something in the 20-25 HP range, and something in the 30-35 HP range. a 30-35 HP midsize 4×4 ATV would be a blast. But I highly doubt we’ll see a midsize machine.
