Has anyone purchased one of the new 850 or 550 sportsman xp's yet ? I was @ my dealer today checking them out. Wanting to hear how they been holding up.

 

I've seen a couple of guys say that they've put down deposits on an '09 but as far as I know they're still waiting.

 

They had 4 of each of them @ my dealer today.

 

Did you test drive one yet?? Any of them the eps models???? I have one without eps on order, and my dealer said that they won't even ship until the 27 of this month, so he said he should have them by the first week of october at the latest. I hear a lot of talk of the eps ones not coming until december, so I was just curious.

 

was at the dealer today and they don't have any of the 550 xp or 850 xp they said try us in a couple more weeks

 

I was at the dealer two weeks ago and asked if they had any '09's yet and they said they had 4 or 5 in the back. I went back a week later and still no '09 on the floor. I asked again and they said still in the back. I guess they've sold too many machines this year or something! They acted like they where in no hurry to put 'em out or show one to me. Oh well I like my '08 too much to trade anyway.

 

My guess is that most of the dealers have them but polaris says that they cant put them on the floor until a certain date. I am also chomping at the bit to check one out.

 

Supposedly the southern states get the EPS models first. Not sure why since they are mostly made in Minnesota/Wisconsin, and I live in MN. The local dealers have the non-EPS models in stock and are priced just shy of $7k. I hear great things, although I, too, am looking for more info on the EPS models.
