Default Could the new Polaris sport quad have a KTM 525 engine?

Now with the news of Polaris and KTM working together, which I'm sure has been in the works for a long time. Could the new quad have there 525 engine in it? The 525 has got to be the smoothest 4 stroke out there and has a very good power curve with no sudden hit. And from what I have heard, the Predator chassis has the best set-up for that engine to fit in. The pro GNCC class limit is also 525cc so this would make sense to. Also what could they really do to the 500 to make it scary fast and still keep it under 525cc and be reliable? From what I've heard this will be a woods racer, but just don't know what engine, but the KTM 525 sure would make it scary fast. Just a thought.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

It's a great idea BUT Tom Tiller stated that the partnership will have no effect on the 2006 models...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img]

A guy at my local track has a 525 ktm and its damn fast
It would be cool to see a 525 scrambler. I could only imagine the product backing that thing would have.

i think i'd be better in the predator chassis! the scrambler is alittle on the heavy side..but it'd be DAMN Fun in a scrambler[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
