I'm not suing anyone. I just thought you and other members might want to learn the truth. I don't think they will ever make a dirt-bike either, but it has nothing to do with how many years ago, or in what century, they made foot-shifters.

Fatter than a Fat Cat. More like a double-wide cat. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Shaft-drive like Magnum said.

 

I'm been thinking the should come out with smaller street bikes.
Say 650 and 1000's

 

Hmm, I don't know I mean here came CANAM as BRP has
been around in the power sports market they launched their quad
line, right? Also, the Chinese want to get into the automarkets and know
with the KTM's where it was first just motors and things like that now you
are seeing competitive KTM dirt bikes and sport quads. I don't know I am
not an expert here, just see things in the Mags, and reading all the chatter.

Hey why not? I think their dirt bike line would ROCK! I know Harley guys that
speak highly of the Victory bike lines and I think Polaris could be at the TOP of
their game too. Hmm, be interesting to see!

i think yamaha, kawasaki, susuki, honda, and ktm have the dirt bike scene locked up..........they all make very awesome bikes

 

Polaris owned 1/4 of KTM but I think they sold all their stock. I heard about a year or two ago that Polaris dealers would start selling KTM dirt-bikes, but I'm still waiting. Since they already had a history together it makes sense that it would happen that way, and maybe they would even have a Polaris-branded KTM model.

Ever since the first Victory model came out I wondered why they didn't make one with an engine half the size. I think they would sell a lot more if they offered them as 750s or 800s too, instead of just monster sizes like the current 1634cc and 1731cc. That's just a wee bit smaller than the 1.8 liter engine that's available in several different makes and models of cars.
