Now let me get out the crystal ball and bet the price will be around $12,000 to $13,000 seeing they want $15,000 for the Renegade! now if they come in around $8,000 to $9,000 it could be worth while let wait and see!

got to see it perform, listen to it, touch it and sit on it, but not ride it! Unfortunately the exhibition BRP put on didnt quite go to plan, but the bike seems pretty impressive just the same. From memory the graph we were shown at the dealer presentation shows horsepower at it about 5 or 6 more than the rest, if you can believe their graphs. Has some great ideas built into it . Rec. Retail $12990.00

The stock version looks a lot different. At least it has a unique look. The motor is certainly low and centralised.

Write up in August Dirtwheels that landed on my doorstep today.

Quote from the mag:
"Its lightweight, has a fast motor and includes the best stock suspension we have ridden"

Quote from me:
"Inverted brake calipers are fully sic but at 46" wide I won't be selling my LT-R or My YFZ to get onto one"

Err.... yes I certainly will. My apologies for holding on to it for so long.

Could you please PM me your address and I'll have it back to you ASAP.

I haven't had the desire to do anything on the quad since the race. The filter is still in it, the left steering arm is bent, the right top A-Arm is still creased and bent, and the left rear tyre is flat. All I've done is cleaned it and rolled it back into the shed. How friggin slack is that.

Evertime I look at it all I can think of is woops, woops, woops and more bloody woops.

They were testing a couple of them up at Stockton a couple of weeks ago and was lucky enough to have a quick ride. I was quite impressed. It needed a set of paddles to make a propper judgement.

yeah i was up that weekend it was on the 7/7
they had the 450 and the renegade
i tried it for a bit
i wasnt impressed
its a lt lighter than the usual 450s
loks ugly in real life if you ask me
and the power is very similar to the honda
i wouldnt swap a honda or yamaha for it
power to weight ratio is the only thing thats better and the sales rep kept going on about the aircraft rivets on the frame

who CARES!!!

I dont think its worth the money they are asking id stick to the japs for now
it looks like a unfinished project to me
i didnt like it
either did a few of the yfz450 riders
but thats just my opinion
cheers
