I had a 2000 Polaris sportsman 500
I had a 93 Polaris 250 scrambler 4x4
bought them both heavily used and rebuilt them
After that I SWORE I would NEVER own another Polaris if it was not a snow machine.
Sportsman 500 had 4 wheel bearings per side and liquid filled Hilliard hubs. Scrambler used 3 chains to make the front 4x4 work..Wow just wow. But I was broke and wanted an ATV so Polaris was all I could afford.
Compared to Honda, Suzuki, Yami and Kawi those things were over engineered piles of metal.
Then came 2008 and the Rzr.
Polaris totally redeemed themselves and have WON OUR HEARTS!!
Now I have an Ace, a Xp1k, Xp1k4 and two Polaris two stroke sleds.
There will probably never be a time that we do not have a Polaris in our shop
Oh and I own Polaris stock, as much of it as I could buy! (PII)
NO WAY ONE MODEL CAN COMPETE, Polaris is too far ahead. I mean the XYZ and wildcat are the only machines that even come close to a rzr. And we have SOOOO MANY models to chose from.
Polaris sleds are light years ahead of the competition, seriously light years.
Let them have their day in the sun, brand loyalty is something you do when you are young and dumb, to swear yours is the best and always will be is naive
I'm a Ford fan and a Polaris fan for life now, but that does not mean I don't respect a Dodge or Yamaha now and then
You can get a bad Toyota and you can get a great Kia, alot of it just has to do with your mindset.
trash talkers will still be talking when we all should just be riding, good luck competing with Polaris now...570, turbo, 1000, 2 seat, 4 seat, fox, highlifter, the list just keeps growing and growing. Polaris is the SHIT and they know it so EAT CROW!!! LOL
