Here is how the whole thing went down...
BRP - hey we like that thing you did with your sled, any chance we can buy rights to use it from you cheap?
Cat - yeah sure if you give us rights to the "insert patent of your choice" technology cheap
BRP - hey no point in getting carried away here, we just want to use that one little idea, not put you out of buisness
Cat - well with out the "insert patent of your choice" we are not budging
BRP - well seeing how we own the rights to something you recently thought was new, we'll see how loud you purrr after we stick it to you
Cat - yeah yeah sure bring it on....
Take that back. Xp's are like tanks comparded to a rev. Not very happy with my buffalo comparded to my 07 rev

When did all that happen? Is there anything cat has that doo doesn't?
I saw a guy in the cat dealer ordering a new recoil. The first thing that came to mind was "those bastards, they stole that design from BRP"
They bought OMC so they could save 2 strokes due to the EPA restrictions for 2012 and next next few years. The "Etec" technology actually came from Ficht. Buying the rights to something legally is not an patent infringement.
takethebounce, I think you've misuderstood me. I didn't suggest there was a case of patent infringement. I was just poking a little fun at the BRP comments about innovation. Buying the rights to existing technology may be good business, but it is not innovative.

I thought the rev handled decent, I just couldn't get comfortable on one. bought the ol' lady a new '05 rev and I could carve that thing in circles all day, fun sled....just felt like my feet needed to be farther forward, was always banging my knees into the panels. I can carve circles inside the circles of the rev on my "poor" handling '08 xp. the rev was a game changer, the xp was a kick ass refinement.....I'm so stoked to see what's next. the '08 has me gunshy though.....don't want to be a guinea pig again.your silly. i will not take that back. i cant ride a rev. THAT is a buffalo.
