Thumbs up

I wonder what the Doo boys have to say on the subject. Don't tell me its the Rev 800 HO. I want to know if Doo will bring out something FAST. Fast like Mach-Z or Thundercat Fast. With Cat giving the masses the 900 ZR, and Yammie with the 4-holer bike engine, Doo is without a lakeracer type to carry the flag. What gives?

yeah i find it hard to believe that bombi will just drop out of the hyper sled. its something that they have worked very hard to do. then just throw it away.... i dont know but i would think that they will release something

THey wont release a lake racer for at least another year. IMO it would take some profites away from the REV/MXZ sled. So there just going to feed of the rev a bit and when that seems to have cooled down bring out another MachZ.

They wont do the same mistake they did in 1998 when they broght out the CK3 and then in 99 the ZX. THe CK3 never made there money back... And im sure the REV cost a lot of money to make..

My predictions are that it will be a triple powered sled. THey know theres only one way to make a lake racer and it consists of an engine with three holes in it. Im going to be number one on the order list.

Doo will be coming out with a 1000 direct injection twin in a rev chassis. The sled is made but they delayed the release until mid season next year or '05. It is a stock version of Blair Morgan and Karl Kuster's open class sleds. Doo will be not be making anymore triples except for the 1500 4stroke that is in the Elite.

IMO, there won't be another 2 stroke triple from rotax again, not even a sdi version. Bomb's future is the rev platform like it or not.........so likely the only mill's going in it are big twins........sdi and a di version that the Moose was refering too.
We will see...........But as it stands the rev 800 ho will run with anything that anyone else is currently making, So that's why IMO that they didn't rush anything elso out.
Now I know there are alot of Mach Z lovers out there that are pi$$ed off about this and are likely going to change brands over this. But Bomb has probably won over more customers from the other brands than lost, with the Rev program.
Remember this is only my opinion. SWRules

The Rev 800 ho will keep with the 900 Cat ? Come on, thats a stretch...........Nothing to do with brand loyalty, I read it in the mags, the 900 is king of the lake. Next in line is the 1000 Yamaha, and a clutched RX1 will beat a clutched 800 HO across the lake too, from what I have read. A D.I. triple would be a hell of a thing to put in the ZX chassis and own the lake.........
