i have heard rumors that polaris is coming out with a new one some say 800 any one heard of this? would be sweet but probally heavy

 

Ever known a polaris NOT to be heavy? I still dont understand the weight issue, Polaris says they use beefier parts, larger parts etc.. They still break the same parts as the others due, so whats the bonus?

I hope they do, it might bring down the prices of there other machines. I wish Polaris would go on a diet [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Yea they need some Flin flin

 

To be honest, if they made an 800, it probably would not weigh much more... almost the same infact. Just a slightly bigger bore and stroke and that should amount to almost nothing. I am sure it will go in the same Sportsman frame, so it should not be much heavier. The weight is both good and bad... good when you are pulling, plowing, and need more traction. Bad when it falls on you, bad when all you do is play around on trails at speed, or get in a hairy technical trail. I will take the good with the bad. Since I don't jump mine 4 feet in the air, the weight is a welcomed thing. Now, if these were sport quads, well weight would suck.

 

i will not weight more cauze actually the 700 sportsman is a debored version of the 783cc engine,a 800 would be the WHOLE engine at full bore
at 783cc,even it should be lighter if they put the fuel injection system this motor came first,just the weight of a bigger cylinder and piston shouln't make a big differences on the whole quad then...

 

Yeah, It's true. It will be a 760cc alternate-firing vertical twin. 720lb. dry weight. Retails for $8599.

 

umm...did you look at the date the last post was made?? last year oct!! lol...I think it is safe to say this thread is kinda old

 

Yeah, So.

 

SO everybody here already knows about the "800"
