Hello all you people,I'm new to this board and to Atving I'm 32, I current own a Harley going to get rid of it soon and get a quad.
I was wondering if anyone heard anything about the new 450 2-stroke quad that Bombardier is supose to release for '06?
Also, does anyone know when Bombardier releases their '06 models? I had possible planed on maybe getting an 650 X till I heard about the recalls.
I personally prefer 2-stroke bikes, kind of old school. Have to admit the last time I had a dirtbike I was 15. It was this big heavey 2-wheeler 4 stroke called a 350 bigwheel biggest mistake I ever made don't wan't make that mistake again.

 

recalls? only recall i know of is for the axle bearings, no big deal really, what have you been hearing?

 

O, thats the only recall I was talking about, Every manufactor goes through them at one time or another. When I got my Fatboy in 2000 it had one too.
Sorry didn't mean to make you panic

 

i wasn't panicing, just making sure you weren't misinformed, these machines are great, extremely reliable, i think i've had 2 problems with mine that weren't my fault, and i think they cost me about $50CA and about an hour worth my time, not bad for a 4 yr old machine i think

 

whre ecan i see anything about this 450 2 stroke

 

in may or june is when we usually hear about the new models and they get to the dealer in late summer(august/september)

I'm excited... can't wait!

 

hey edster get a ds 650 any year from 2000 till 05, they have the bwmf650 motor in them, bmw has been using this motor since 1997 in their bikes, pretty much bullet proof I think, if you get a 2 stroke it will be like getting a crotch rocket and you don't seem like that kind of guy with a fatboy right now, just my .02 cents oh yeah another thin to think about is gas mileage whenI had my 250r fourtraxx I would go through 5 maybe 6 gallons of gas a day riding, I was out last weekend filled it up and rode for two days not steady but quite a while and when I filled it up when I was done it only took 2.5 gallons, I diodnt even hit reserve yet, someone posted on here a while ago that they could get 75 miles out of a tank of gas,how big are you? I am 5 foot 10 225 lbs and love the 12 inches of suspension on these my buddy has a banshee and it feels small cramped no suspension, take both machines for a ride then make your move, I have always had 2 strokes my self think they were simpler but man I love this thing I plan on keeping it till I die in, fact next october I am gonna buy another one maybe an x

 

i had a dealer tell me last week that the end of june would be the earliest he could get a 06 model.
