My thought is, nope. They already have the 500efi X2. Then again, they already have the 800 X2 also. Still, I doubt it.

yamaha has a 450 rino. and you know the 500 efi has more power than the yamaha's 450
plus the rzr is lighter.

Polaris has been making a full size ranger powered by the 500 motor since the late 90s. They even had it in a 6x6 version and it pushed the 4x4 chassis at 41 MPH. They now have the 500 EFI 4x4 ranger and 700 EFI XP. Both are good sellers. I dont think they would need to, but the 500 EFI motor would have plenty of power to move the 1000lb RZR compared to the 1450lb ranger 4x4.

i would want the 800 but i think they could sell the 500 for $1500 less.and that would put more rzr's on the trail.

The polaris 500 is a far better engine then both the 700 and 800. Some of you are going to argue with me I know but I had both of them and lots of other people will agree with me. If they had one with it comming out this year I would have bought one right away. Instead I'll wait another year to see how it goes with the bugs.
