The July Issue of DW has a sneak peak story on the 2006 Outlander 800 v-twin along with a few pics. Looks like the 800 V-twin rummor is comming true.

 

hmm, my neighbour was at out local bomb dealer and they told him it was a 700 vtwin

 

Can you scan the picture and post it?

 

better yet how's this, a true 800CC big bore v-twin. This big beast packs a 62HP, 52lbs torque monster twin cylinder Rotax engine, by far the most powerful ATV on the market.

 

Looks to be like one heck of a quad.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

If you're looking to translate that to pure speed, BRP claims the Outlander 800 has 28% more rear wheel speed (as measured by Matech Technologie Inc rear wheel dyno) than the Polaris, 25% more than the BruteForce, and 54% more than the King Quad. Any volunteers for some serious drag runs?

 

I like the sound of those numbers, that should spice some things up in this years shootouts.

It looks like we could have a new top dog.

 

By doing the math in my head and at 62HP and a little over 600lbs this thing will be close at putting the hurt on a DS. With mods, this thing WILL put the hurt on the DS.
Hmmmmmmmm, kind of like a 4 cyl. turbo WRX putting the hurt on a Corvette. Wow, this could get interesting!!!!!! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
IF BRP did it's homework they should have made the jugs about a 1/2" thick. See where I'm going with this..................[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

lol... put a hurt on my poor DS. No respect for the DS's anymore. I would luv to race the new outlander. Time will tell.

 

I'm not meaning to start a bash war here. BUT power isn't everything...checkout the picture where the Outty is climbing over the block. What is that thing,,,maybe 6 or 7 inches high. Check out the other wheel.
