I would go with the Polaris 525S or KTM 525 lighter and with big bore kits from 540 too 600 cc

 

when is the KTM suppose to be out ? the outlaw has a 600 kit ? how does that run ?

 

The KTM 525 and Outlaw 525S are both out in limited supply, both use the same engine, both can be built up to 600 cc. the KTM is lighter cost more and has better shocks and brakes, My Outlaw 525 IRS is now a 540 and I will be taking it out this weekend for a break in ride. As a 525 it would pull the same gears up hill as my DS730 did.

 

DS650 all the way!

Yea, but will it pull it at the same MPH

 

DS may be a little faster.

 

I would also add that it depends on your age and riding habits I am 51 and ride with the 20 and 30 year olds we ride hard and my outlaw 06 allows me to keep up and still save my back on the jumps. I would not trade my outlaw for anything. Oh and i have also riddin the 07 525 and they seem to me to be identical in power.

 

new ride seem to always get the attention, so aftermarket parts will start to lean toward the 525, but how soon they will catch the ds is unknown

 

How much Horsepower does the 600 kit give the outlaw 525?

Moto Headz Racing just dynoed his 610 kit for the KTM RFS engine with stock pipe and stock filter and it put down 58 hp at 7600 rpm and 48 ft lbs at 5200. It also made over 50 hp from 5400-9400 rpm. This was on PUMP gas. He is making another 610 to run off of race gas and is expecting high 60's on that build.
