Okay, Specta. I'll wait for the release like everyone else. I wouldn't want you to not keep your word. Rats, though....

 

We never told them what I rode and thank God they never asked. LOL

I think they would have belted me.

 

Sorry I drug my butt on posting a few of the introduction pictures.

The people from Polaris are awesome folks and we had a GREAT time. My friend and I were the only two people who were allowed to attend both days of the introduction. The dealer show wasn't until July 26th if I remember correctly and Polaris district sales managers didn't see them until the following week after we saw them.

6-22/23-2010 Polaris 2011 Introduction


June 22, 2010. We were part of the very first people to see the 2011 Polaris lineup.


Snacks prior to the introductions.


They went over every change that Polaris made for 2011.


Here’s the product manager for the Sportsman ATVs.
Each product manager introduced and presented each product.


Polaris Ranger Product Manager introduced us to all of the new 2011 Rangers. We were among the very first to know of and see the new Ranger Diesel.


Ranger RZR Product Manager.


Everyone of the Polaris’ had this little sticker on them.


I got to ride and drive every 2011 Polaris.


We would ride for a bit and then swap machines so everyone had the chance to ride everything.






They had over 50 2011 machines there for us to ride.


Bye bye Maxxis Big Horns and hello ITP Terra Cross R/T.

 

Looks like a fun time.

 

nice
how many of those will fit thru the 50" gate?

That Ranger is so cool.

 

The RZR like the one pictured here with factory Polaris wheels fit through 50" gates along with their ATVs. In fact this is the only sideXside that will fit through the gates.

The RZR S, RZR 4 and none of the Rangers fit through the 50" gates.

I've even seen a few 850 XPs with offset after market wheels and tires not fit through a few gates.

I've spent some seat time in these and I think it's sad that it is the only one that fits, I wish Suzuki or someone else would make a 50" sideXside. It's the best selling sideXside out there and Can Am builds a 58.6" wide sideXside to compete with an already flooded market.

I did a little video and posted it about the biggest thing I didn't like about the RZR and the funny thing was only a few liked it. It was a satire/comedy and I'm sure hated by the Polaris community.
