Default Polaris moves to #1

Polaris ATVs are now the number one selling in the world. Hard to believe they have passed Honda...

Have they not been #1 in the USA for a long time on and off?

Last I saw the official numbers for 2007 it was

#1- Polaris
#2- Honda
#3- Yamaha

But that was just USA.... Still since we Americans make up about 80% of the worldwide ATV market I would think being #1 there would not be a big stretch either.

[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] If this is the case (havent checked myself) sure have come a long way! Our first year (1988) sold only 4!!! They were more popular at farm and ranch stores in the early days! In the early years had several people drag in pool sweepers thinking we were a Polaris pool equipment company!!
