The future of Sport ATV engines?

[trx440]

Aprilia has finally released their 450 & 550 V-twin engines for SuperMoto and Enduro bikes. MX bikes will be out later this year for the outdoor MotoGP series. Can a quad be far off? I'd like to see Rath build a hybrid like he did with the KTM. 60hp for the 450 & 70 for the 550.

I'll take the 550 in a 450R frame for next years dune season thank you very much.

I would think that a V-twin would be too heavy and too wide for a atv. Im almost positive that some of these big racers and and these people with money trees are pushing if not exceeding 60HP with there 450's with far less weight!!

Well, they did manage to stuff it into a bike frame, so you never know.
