------------------

Does anybody know how much this beast is going to cost?I saw pictures of it on bombardier web site it definitly is a good looking machine.

 

You have to be carefull when considering the claimed HP, because makers invariably measure this at the crank. The only example i know off hand is the KX500 dirt bike, which claims 65 and dynos at 54 hp at the wheel.

 

The price will be right around the same as the Traxter, 7,000+ Range.
