They still make the Xplorer 400 4x4. Same engine, but in a more utility-minded chassis.
Rumor has it they will be discontinuing them in '02, also. I think it has to do with EPA regulations.

 

250rampage, I'll take you up on that offer! And I won't even pull out the DS. My scram 400 will spank your fastest bike.......ie: yellow 400ex. And the only way I'll race is for pinks!

 

whats your point?do you know where ypu can buy a brand new 400 4x4 scram for less than &5300.00?

 

IMHO, the reason they stopped making it is because it doesn't sell. Why buy the "puny 400" when you can get a 500? More displacement makes more horsepower, right?

Well I'm here to tell you it ain't so. I'll race any 500 Scrambler four stroke in a drag race (for pink slips of course) and beat the living daylights out of them with my 100cc+ "disadvantaged" two stroke. I don't care what you've done to it either (nitrous oxide, turbocharger) it doesn't matter. Simply put, my smaller twostroke puts out more horsepower per pound than ANY four stroke of it's equivilent weight.

Now, most people are NOT going to go out and spend the required "cubic dollars" to put their motor into the shape that mine is in. That being said, most people want a quad to ride that is fairly fast that they don't have to do anything to. I refer to them as the "Gas it and go" crowd. Others just like four strokes (I hate messing with valves, myself).

Still it makes no sense to me why they kept the two strokes around so long. I mean Polaris has never been about performance as far as ATVs are concerned. Oh yes, they produce the hottest sleds and PWCs, but if someone got to monkeying around with their two stroke sport quads and actually made them FAST (a dirty word in the Polaris ATV talk),why, they might hurt themselves.

In short, I think that it might boil down to two reasons, liability and sales.
