I was easing by one of the local Polaris dealerships today and happen to notice a greyish/blue Utility quad out among the row of machines on display.
It was from the highway, and I was in a hurry, so I didnt stop...
I have searched the Poalris web-site and I found NOTHING!!...
Is this a new color for the Expedition, Sportsman, Magnum?.. I personally don't feel like there will be a 700cc 2 cylinder anytime soon.. And even if it IS on the way, this dealer would NOT be one of the first ones to get it. To be honest, I don't see how he stays in business..
WHAT WAS IT???...

CM,No. Ive seen and rode a diesel Polaris.. Its not that.. this thing is a dark Silverish/greyish... I say blue becasue it had a slight blue tint to it also.. I'm thinking its probably a "bold new color change" and not a new bike.. we would have heard of a new model long b4 it got to the dealerships... I just want some confirmation on my thoughts..

It's a limited edition Sportsman and the plastic is, believe it or not metalic grey. All the decals have the metal checkerplate design on them. Supposedly only 500 made.

My local dealer has one too. It is a SP500 and it looked like a metalic grey. Great looking machine.

The silver Sportsmans are supposed to be "limited edition"? My dealer has one sitting out front so I stopped to check it out. I said "Wow! that's neat you were able to get one of the new limited editions!" He just looked at me and told me he never heard anything it being a limited production run and that he has six more in crates. Is he incredibly lucky, or do we have some mis-information regaring the availability of this color? I do think they look sweet though, especially the "diamond plate" decals.
