Almost twice the size and power as a 450 pork chop and less weight, sounds like a bloody bargain to me!!

ATK has only sold 15,000 units in the past 25 years....I'm not sure moving mega units is all that important to them (at least not yet).

They did just recently sign a 4 year, 33,000 unit, $100,000,000 contract with a Korean bike maker. All the bikes will be built here in America.

Well I've beatin plenty of "pork chop" 250f and 450fs around the track on my 125 so its only logical to assume that on a 700 i should be able to lap the whole feild in about 3-4 laps I'd say

With the current rules you should be able to run a 1400cc 4 stroke vs this thing...lol

No thank you..

What's crazy is the 700 2 stroke weighs 12lbs less then the atk 450 4 stroke.

Don't believe everything that comes out of Frank's mouth, I worked for ATK for five years, and one year under Frank, that guy lies a lot. Its one of those deals if his mouth is moving he's probably lying.

He's supposedly had this secret deal with Harley worked out for like 15 years to join with them and build a dirt bike.

I highly doubt they are going to build bikes here, that really makes no sense. It would be much cheaper to build them in Korea and ship them over.

maybe not the best motocrosser, but I'll bet you'd never peel the grin off your face with one of those done up all supermoto and tagged for the street!

Aside from the front fender. it really looks like 1989 all over again. Damn that is an ugly bike. A few dollars spent on some current looking plastics would be a good investment.

Almost feel like Im talking about the new 2 stroke Yamaha's. The Yamaha's are such good bikes, people would go apeshit crazy if they updated the look of them to match the 4 strokes. Just guessing Yamaha wants people to let the 2 strokes die instead of selling a shitload of them like KTM.

Wouldn't that be a really good play bike. I always though the 500 2 stroke was a really good play bike.

To each their own. I think the YZingers look cooler than the current YZF's.

i got that info about the Korean deal from the press release on their website. Looks like it's a done deal.

That same press release also mentioned a partnership with Harley (at least I think it was the same press release....I read it somewhere though). But I believe the harley partnership was to sell ATK's in their dealerships, not to build a dirtbike.

Also I saw a vid on youtube, and ATK apparently has (is "working on" a fuel injected version of the 700. With an electric start.

Ugly as it is I'd still like to experience riding a 700cc 2 stroke!

I think Yamaha keep the 2 strokes in their lineup because the actually SELL them its no doubt they are long overdue for a facelift and I don't think they are trying to kill them off but don't want them to take away from the 4 stroke sales at the same time.

Forget these 2 stroke bounty rides and all that, qualify for a pro national on the 700! I heard Larocco's Leap is a piece of cake with that puppy.

(If there was only an open class......)
