of
racing on JUDe 2. Another "Battle of. .. " TV show was in the making, and the orpnizen felt it would be fun to have the showgirls race ~wasaki KLTs as pan of
the program. No problem, 'said Kawasaki, we did it with the Battle of the Cheerleaden last year, and it worked great. This time, however, things went wrong. Fint,
the sand dune course location was switched to the parking lot at the Tropicana,
then one of the girls crashed and was hun while practicing. The result: No race,
just a lot of beautiful girls hanging out and willing to model for our photographer.
Despite these conditions, he persevered and brought back a picture. Tough life,
photographing these KLTraces. . .

All that's vital
(and fit to print)
One of the hCKtat rumon in the ATV
industry - from a motorcyclist's point
of view - is the HUIlITarna threewheeler presently in R&D the stagt
here in the U.S. The Husky reponedly
will feature independent rear lu.pennon and motorcycle·style forb to aid
in the handling depanment. But th..
most exciting pan is the powerplant,
the tried and proven 420 Automatic I
Indianapolis 500 winner !lick Mean is
said to be helping Husky in the development of tbe trike.
Suzuki is about to jump on the threewheeler band wagon, too. Repons
from New Zealand say that twO distinctly unique venioDi have been shown
to dealen there. One is a IZ5cc twoItJ'Oke with a couple of utility features
as standard equipment. For that little
workhorse, Suzuki has tricked-out the
transmission with a reverse gear and a
power take-off for industrial!agricultural accessories. The second model is
said to be a Z50cc four-stroke, a
playbike to compete with the otben in
the recreational market. What's coming to tbe U.S.? No one at Suzuki will
tell.
Other stories indicate that both
Yamaha and Kawasaki are thinking
about introducing four-wheelen to
compete with Honda's Odyssey. Kawasaki's Public.ltelations depanment has
assured us that any Kaw_ki involvement in such a project would consist
only 'of market research at this point.
Yamaha, of coune, already has their
go kan, but 'they entered a "no comment"
