If you look at the lime green pictures, you'll see it's a 500i with 650 decals on it. The pics of the red one with the grey racks are real 650 prototypes/pre-production.....the fuel filler is on the right rear fender. There are some subtle diffs.......

I would just like to stick that motor in my 400.
Too big? Damn...sup with that...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Yes I can see that, but other than the gas tank, it looks the same. Nowhere near enough difference to say the new AC is ugly without saying the same for the old ones.

I think you guys should take a LOOK at the Yamaha forum ----Whats the deal with Rotax engines.

what does that have to do with anything? just talking about a rotax engine. Has nothing to do with an AC. All I can see is where you said something about the Bombs being a great design. Whats the point?

Hey Andy I don't think there is a point he is just trying to hype up Bombs.

I figured that the way you are always talking about them.Well everyone is intitled to there own opinion as long as they don't over do it.When they do they start sounding like someone is paying them to make the posts and not just brand loyal.Sometimes you just need to back off and stay on the subject and I believe this one is about the new AC 650.Which I believe will start a change in AC's whole line-up.

The AC 650's in the brochure still have Carslisle Badlands tires. The production model is supposed to have a new 26" Goodyear tire. I can't wait to see what the tread is like. I hope it is similar to the Rawhide Grip that comes on the Polaris Sportsman, but with radial construction. That would be one mean tire.

Btw, I hope someone posts when they get the first 650. I'm chomping myself in anticipation of mine.

I'm the farthest thing there is from BRAND LOYAL. Those that are, are only going to LOOSE! Thats why I've owned so many differant brands. And I don't even own a Bombardier product. This came about when you stated the new Cat was the best utiltity ever made or should be. And it is not; And it is not even on show room floors yet. So how can you say it's the best?? Nothing about it is proven. And don't confuse Sport--Utility--- Sport utility--Or the two seaters. Plus you shoud know of the problems Kaw. has had with the p650. It's a long way from being trouble free. The way you are saying it- a chevy pickup truck can out work a Mack or a Peter Built. All I said is the Traxter is a better strickly Utility. The 650 is a sport utility. I never said that the CAT is a bad machine And So who's Brand loyal?? And thats the end of it.
