Just curious on peoples thoughts as to when the DS will be redesigned or replaced... so whatya think?

 

well here we go....he said she said...

seriously.i went to my dealer 2 days ago and was going to get a new ds 650 and trade mine in and he said to wait...he "HEARD" they were coming out with an 800 sport ds...didnt know for sure but thought it was the outy 800 type engine in a ds type frame..

probably bullshi$ but i said it..so there

 

Yeh, I know, obviously it all hearsay. When I bought my DS last year, the dealer and me were talking and he said the Bomb 450 was gonna be released in the next two weeks... needless to say, full of BS. I don't know where these dealers get there info.

Anyway wasn't trying to start anything, just wanted to see what everyone thought.

 

2 Stroke 450ds
800 DS
Outlander 1000
Side by side (rhino) 650cc and 1000cc

 

I heard BRP was going to make a Sand Rail.

 

Yeah, with that Turbo Diesel Rotary engine right? That bad boy should shred the dunes. Been hearing alot about that one around here too.

 

d75,

are you making jokes or are you being seriuos!

ds800...do you have any info on it....efi, reverse, what frame..anything

 

oh yeah i also heard that hey cant make a 1000cc quad cause of us trails laws..anything over 800cc is not concidered a quad and not allowed...i think it becomes reg and insured as a car or something like that...

 

you need to remember just because it may be ilegal to operate ATV over 800cc in some state does't mean they won't build them.
For example, the Outlander MAX (2 up) is ilegal in Canada, reg. state that there must be NO PASSAGES on any ATV, but bomb, polaris and Cat all sell 2 ups!
Plus in Canada and Other coutries there is NO 800cc limit, so trust me its coming!

 

Given how popular the Rhino's are, it does seem that it would only be a matter of time before someone put a turbo 4-stroke in a buggy. . . right now the only way to do this is build your own or have someone build one for you.

But, I doubt that's coming any time soon.

An 800 DS with a shifter would be an animal. We'll see. I'ld be suprised to see them build that bike. I can see an 800 auto though.
450. . . better be GREAT. . . well behind the curve right now.
