i agree.
Also, i'd like to say that Polaris should be commended for making their 500 motor perform almost as well to the 700r and the DS650 motors when it is far out-classed in size. The only engines i really feel are built harder are the YFZ motors, and they're a little more volatile than pred motors. (still i think yamaha should be commended for that engine, even if it doesn't make as much horse as the pred motor, it is very light and very quick). I like it when people compare the Predator to the 700r and the DS, honestly, because that shows that it is at least in the same class, with far less motor. idk, just my$.02
the KTM525 will be faster than anything out there, like spyder said that thing makes 62 horse and is going to be WAY lighter than the pred motor (being a dirt bike engine and all...) either way it will be an interesting model year in '07! and as a guy who's been following the sport quad industry religiously since just before the 400EX was released, this competition is SO unbelievable comaperd to what he had in the '90s...

the rumor of the 800 sport is not from my head lol, i heard that from a few people.
the KTM 525 will have to be changed for a quad, the motor need beefing up for the extra weight of the qquad, and the engin will gain some weight.
just like a crf450R motor and TRX450R motor, the dirtbike one is lighter but also wouldent last as long in a quad.
Just my opinion.

Actually the Bomb is a 806cc (91mm bore X 62mm stroke) not a 799cc. You atleast have to give them credit for never over extimating the size of motors (hint Polaris and Yami) ie DS650 is a 653cc, 500ss ski doo is a 600cc and if you look at the spec of all there ATV they are ALL withing 5cc of what they are called!!!
The manufactures should call it what it is and stop playing marketing games.
