You're right Rob, the aftermarket has done a pretty good job of stepping up, but originally you mentioned the OEMs. And like I said, they leave a lot to be desired. I think the best thing to happen lately is Arctic Cat's challenge to the XP, finally, maybe OEMs will start building what the off-roaders want and other OEMS's will come out with more. Can you imagine buying a Yamaha with a R1 motor and good long travel. I can only imagine what Kawasaki will come out with. Their Teryx 4 is a great machine. But I don't see KOH as being an inspiration to the OEM's.
But you are right, the aftermarket is responding bit by bit.
But my point is that if we have spend that much on a UTV, why wouldn't we just jump into a Jimmy's 4X4 car instead. I worry that causing a buildup on a UTV to cost too much, will make some shy away. If I knew how much I would end up having in my Prowler, I surely would've just bought an Ultra4 car in the first place. The Xp900 and Wildcat may be addressing that though..lets hope.
Joey, thank you for allowing us to banter this point, only on the Underground can we do that. It'll be great to be out on the lakebed sharing a beer with you all.
Hey, how about them getting Robby Gordon in an Ultra 4 car... slowly but surely the desert guys are migrating over as some of the rock crawlers are making it into desert racing...
