    Im pretty sure they already have a few pre production models in the works. I havent heard anything in the rumor mill in months, i can only geuss that due to the economy the project might be on hold

    It would probably be a cool quad but I probably could not afford it, but then again the DS650 had the same engine as they used in the BMW street bike. Does BMW have a 800cc rotax street bike? Maybe the DSXXX will be back...
    What ever happened to Husky?

    Huksvarva makes a 450 dirt bike,it uses a similar motor as the one on the ds 450x!! is also made by rotax.And BMW uses the rotax engine as the one on the DS650 on their Fs 650!!!
    Maybe if they can build a good quad frame it can be interesting!!!

    Just read that BMW has actually bought Huquavarna...I also see that BMW has twin F800 bike. I wonder if that is a rotax?

    Bmw quads are street legal ones that you would not want to take off road in any way shape or form

    i think its a little cheesey that they are all useing the rotax motor... 3 factorys.... theres gotta be talk with all 3 i think... and even if 2 of them are owned by the same people...

    I dont think that the bum quad would be very good... husky might be able to make a ok quad but to me... as of right now ktm has shown the best built stock quad...

    i think that the building of a factory sold quad is being raised higher and higher... the gasgases were build up in 2003 and stuff and now ktm is buildin race ready quads i think soon its gonna be all race ready....

    i think bmw will have a hard time in quads... im not a fan of the bikes
