selves Bombardier, came out with
a new 4x4, and we put their Traxter
500 in a shootout against Suzuki’s
Quadrunner 500 4x4. Not everyone
was crazy about the Traxter’s step-through design in front of the seat.
That model didn’t last very long in
Can-Am’s lineup, but they continued
to be innovative with the models that
followed.
The June 1999 issue also included
a shootout between Honda’s 300EX
and Yamaha’s Warrior 350, an ATV
T-shirt buyer’s guide, and a special
report on a project Honda TRX470R
two-stroke. It was basically a 250R
with a bored-and-stroked engine
from a Honda Pilot 400. We concluded that it was the quickest single-cylinder, naturally aspirated quad
we had ever ridden.

BORICH GOING FOR HISTORY
Suzuki LT-R450 rider Chris Borich
has tied Barry Hawk’s all-time win
record for the ATV Pro class in the
GNCC series with 68. Sometime this
year, Borich will most likely break
that record, as well as extend it to
who knows how high. However, guys
like Walker Fowler and Adam McGill
may have something to say about
that. You can watch all the races this
year live on www.racertv.com.

15 YEARS AGO IN DIRT WHEELS
On the front cover of our June 1999
issue, we featured a KFX250 two-stroke quad that was put together by
Kawasaki’s racing team. It was a prototype of what was supposed to be a
new production model that you could
buy. However, a change in plans put
the project on hold indefinitely.
