ive heard of it but dont know when its going to come out. from what ive read there expecting it to be like 9 or 10 grand though. the polaris predator and outlaw are using a ktm motor in them.

ktm doesn't want to mess with a quad. the polaris 525 outlaw is the quad you've probably been hearing about. they are using the ktm engine that they got ahold of during the polaris/ktm partnership which is no longer a partnership.

looks like i was wrong about a couple things in my previous post. found this online, ktm is still partnering with polaris and they are developing an atv. for their european markets primarily. sounds like they are kind of feeling out the waters with their outlaw 525. check out polaris.com for info on the 525. they have video clips and that thing looks and acts like an absolute beast. around $7000 in the USA.   MADDOGGY

Its True!! They will be bringing out both a 450 and a 525.  The dealerships will see the demos after the KTM dealershow which is in Aug.  They will be available for sale in 2008.  I have heard lots of the specs on it and they sound pretty trick.
