if anyone can dethrone the ds it is the yamaha. the way they have come on the scene so fast is amazing. this is a marathon not a sprint so we will see how fast they get pooped out.

Eric posted on a different site that he got access to a 700R motor. He looked inside and says he see's potential. Much better base than a 660. Clutch basket is still in question but hopefully not too big of a deal....

I heard about a perimeter aluminum framed DS with a 720cc engine that was built for testing. Don't know if BRP will go that route, but they are looking at making changes.
Also heard about putting the 800cc engine idn a DS frame, but it would be a CVT and most DS fans like having gears, so I doubt that will happen.
I think BRP is going the right direction with the 800cc CVT package with the Renegade. They will probably release a 2X4 version of a Renegade eventually, which would be about 65#s lighter than the 4X4 version.

The 700 has lots of room to go LOTS more on the stroke of the crank. The 660 is limited. The biggest I know on a 660 bottom and re-sleeved stock cylinder is a 794. The 4valve head and its design should be easier to extract power from than the 5valve design.
