Default What happened to Tester

I agree to sell to the market, and it is likely that you will sell more to the weekend warrior vs the racer....I was just wondering what BRP's approach is to the racing market as they love the desert though it is only a small segment of the race landscape. I would think that it would benefit BRP most if they had a middleweight that would cover both the everyday joe, and the racer. I just don't think a 450 2 stroke would do that, though it would kill with the die hard 2 stroke and Banshee fans.

My opinion, If all BRP comes out with is a 2 Stroke 450 class quad that will be the end of BRP ATVs. If you build a 2 Stroke it needs to be a 600-700cc quad. This would reach a very small market and still more than likely fail. BRP needs a 450cc thumper to compete with the Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki, ATK they know this![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

That's my point on the 2-stroke theory exactly.

Hey I'm with you on the Two stroke / Four stroke idea...But just like to DS650 the motor is already there, all we have to do is to put it in a frame...Right, wrong or other...It's in the works. If it puts out the power it does not need to be a 650, 750 or 800. Some of the fastest quads I've seen have been 2 stroke banshees... Remember it's all about having the motor to put inside the frame...
