It sucks but I have seen the email stating Polaris has discontinued future Rs1 production.

Shorter wheel base isn't the greatest for climbing.

The car is so fun to drive. When it turns in to a corner you can actually feel the car rotate around the you. I mean the center of rotation is your butt in the seat. It feels so amazing and confidence inspiring to drive. I have never had that feeling in any other on or off road vehicle. Every person who has test driven mine says they want one but never pick one up now it may be to late for the masses 😢
The RS1 certainly 'isn't a do it all' UTV. Besides climbing, a long wheelbase is great for desert whoops. My friend's C**-*m (I'm new on the forum, but I'm guessing we don't type those evil letters here
) X3 4 seater just eats those up, but with its 135-inch wheelbase, its wheelbase is just 2 inches shorter than my Jeep Gladiator wheelbase!
Depends on what one considers badass.

Our 2018 has a production date of 1/6/2018. It was ordered on the day these were announced and was the first delivery.
That's great to know. I was trying to guess when they started delivering them by seeing when the 'launch reviews' in various publications were released. So you should have 001, and MI6 got the one 6 units later.

The production date is on a decal with the vin number. It's located on a frame tube by the right front tire.
It would help if you posted the last 6 of the vin on your #1 RS1 then the rest of us could easily know what number our RS1 is by our vin #
By the way love the Flag & Whip Mount Reinforcement Gusset Kit!!!

I don't think we have the first RS1 down the assembly line. Ours was the first to arrive at our local dealer., so it was certainly from the first production run. I'm sure Polaris built a quantity RS1's and held them to be shipped to dealers after the RS1 was announced. They would most likely have pulled ours from this pool of vehicles, and shipped it to our dealer whenever their next delivery was scheduled.
I'm not sure how Polaris assigns VIN numbers. Does the RS1 have it's own sequential numbering, or are the sequential numbers mixed with RZR, General or Ranger?

That sucks... I've got two of them and will hold onto them more than likely. Can be built for an answer crawler, trail rig, or race car.
Hopefully this means they are bringing out a turbo version. would love to see a Pro Rs1
