Your right 400CatDriver,
We have no limits on CCs for what should be consider a quad. The same guy that gave me info on the Outlander 800 2006, told me that Bombardier already had a 1000cc Rotax engine, but they are following the market, question of making money and selling more quads(from selling 650s to 800s.... to 1000cc). So, if 1000cc engine is ready for a future market, we will have quads here in Canada bigger than 800cc.

Here in Quebec, quad trails are opened from the border with Ontario to Edmonstun, New Brunswick during the winter. We have more trails during the winter than in the summer because farmers open their gates and permit the Federation of Quad Quebec to maintain trails on their farmland during the winter for farmers can't exploit their frozen land with over four feet of snow on it.

Heard this from my dealer a few weeks ago, it seems that BRP has a keen interest in the open 4x4 class, and wants to expand the success of its Outlander line. Its no secret that its left behind in this category. He said that there is confirmation for an 800 Outlander to be released in the spring of '05, using a similar engine to the V-Twin engine in their snowmobile line. The major hangup is developing a Spar frame that will handle the extra weight and torque of a larger mill. He didn't say much else, except to expect a release in April-May. I own four quads, three of them open class 4x4s (and a Raptor for fun). They're all used for work (a Grizz, 700 Prairie and Sportsman), but like to have something to have fun on after hours. My workers drive the s#*t outta them (oilfield contracting), and I've found the Polaris and Kawi are sub-par in quality. I've owned nine or ten quads in the business, and for toughness nothing beats a Honda, Yamaha, or Bombardier. This dealership also carries Suzuki, and I went in to check a new King Quad. However, if Bombi has a new open-class in the works, everythings on hold until I know whats coming. There is no doubt that Bombi's are the most reliable quad made (Honda has lost that title) with their standard three-year warranty. Hell, even Deere is putting their stamp on 'em. If anyone has more info on this, let us know. This could definately be the quad I've been waiting for for a while.

Insightful indeed. Amazingly enough, I didn't see one post flaming this guy at any point in time. Almost a year later, there it is. Hmm, wonder if I could get that kind of consideration.......I guess not. Oh well, I have patience.
