Nope never heard of that. I highly doubt they will go that route. I had bought their 700i sp. it looked sporty. That's about it. Seems like wicked al is building his own 700i to be a sport model. I checked out his pictures on Facebook. It is awsome but I lack the knowledge to do a build like that. Just traded mine in today for a Teryx le. Hopefully it was a smart choice. 3yr warranty, plenty of aftermarket parts. Not that I didn't like the kymco, I just can't let stuff alone.
