Very interesting stuff. I wonder how much validity lies in the statement by Dirt Wheels? Thoughts anyone?

 

It's gonna happen, but so far the 700 is going into something similar to the Sportsman set-up.
later Polcat

 

ALL of these new "Secret Polaris Projects" are being tested at "AREA 51".

 

with the genetically cloned aliens as test riders. give it up. its not gonna happen..

 

dont be surprised if polaris does come out with a 700cc sport machine. there goal in sales is 2 billion by 2002 and u dont get there by haveing "bold new graphics" every year.
with sled and personal watercraft sales being down, atvs are where polaris makes there money and increasing market share.

a while back someone said there was no truth to the rumor that there was going to be a 700cc twin, well its reality and ther already building them in wisconsion.
i can see polaris using the 700 in the sportsman and a sport machine. the more engines u make the lower the cost of each one..

the big news will come out at the dealer show in Reno in September.

Cartman,

It will happen.

Weren't you complaining the other day about agitators posting to the Honda Forum?

 

For what its worth I talked to a dealer that thier sales man is now working at Polaris testing and he mentioned a 650 single. Was pretty quite about anything else.

 

How much bigger will the engines get?

The engines in our quads are getting as big as those in the PWC & snowmobiles.

 

I belive it will happen, I just couldn't buy it if it came out. I spent all my money on the greatest machine I have ever owned(6x6)and I think I will stay with the 6x6 for a long time. And by the way what are Honda people doing in here????You have your own forum now go to it!!!!!!

 

Chopper, the new 700 is a twin 4 stoke that weighs in at appx. the same as the SP\scrambler engines and it has lots, LOTS more HP\torque.
Sounds good to me, hopefully, it will be released in 2001. take care Polcat
