Now that Honda has thrown its hat into the new sport bike revolution, whos next. Will Suzuki or Bombardier build a lightweight 450? Maybe Polaris or Kawasaki. Or will someone shock the world and build a new super heavyweight. 750cc or dare I say 800cc 4stroke.

 

If Suzuki does then I would assume that there will be a kawazuki, I mean kawasaki, and an Arctic Cazuki, I mean Arctic Cat also, but I would also assume that Suzuki will want to one up them and make a lightweight 500 or something.

 

The last rumors I heard coming out of Canada was that the new Bombardier 2-stroke was next.

 

You have to remember that Suzuki also wants remain in the mx rules. Which state a 450cc max on engines. I beleive they will be next. Rumors in magazines have already started flying about them. I still hope Bombardier will give more power to the ds and cut more weight off the beast to help it some in racing events.

 

I was just at my Bombardier dealer yesterday, He said they are planning a 450 class machine. He said they were ready to release one and then the YZF came out and they are redesigning it to compete. I don't know, thats just what I've heard.

 

I read awhile ago in dirtwheels when they talked about the new 'X' model they also mentioned a new bomb 450 in the making. That would be cool if it was true, but too bad you can never rely on that magazine for info.
