The March issue of DW has a sneak peak at the 04 DS650 Bombardier is working on. They are trying to get it down too 430 lbs dry. The quad DW tested was at 460 down form 490. It had a new 1/2 inch shorter Aluminum swingarm. The new lighter head light that will save 3 too 6 pounds

As I mentioned in a post last month, there will be two new sport models from Bombardier, the Baja X, which will be based on the current Baja, but considerably lighter, and an all new aluminum framed 400cc sport quad. Expect to see the Baja X available in August-Sept, and the 400 late in the year.

i've been looking at my quad and seems like all the frame around the air box area could be aluminum. but would that put to much weight on the front? anyways looks like all of that area bolts on. it is nice to hear that it looks like some of the new parts will bolt to the older models.
