Question 2011 Midnight Black Metallic 850 LE

Just seeing if anyone has looked at a 2011 Midnight Black Metallic 850EPS LE in person? Polaris does not have good pitchers of this machine on their web site. Is this paint finish glossy. Looking to buy new and my dealer does not have one yet. When will your dealer have one? Thanks for any help.

I never understand why Polaris or anyone would want fancy paint on a quad..I need what will get me up the steepest hills, deepest mud and the roughest terrain with no breakdowns...This is what I need.

i ride my atv's as hard as anybody, but there is just something about that shiny new look after you clean her up good after a hard day of riding, if we were gonna go by what bobby 002 is saying why buy a shiny new pickup or car when an old rustbucket will get us to the same place, i haven't seen the difference in person but i love black would like to see the stealth black and that one side by side to see the difference

Oh Boy,, I have a 2009 Nissan Armada Metalic...I keep it looking great and just got through spending a lot of time washing it....Theres a difference between how I ride my SUV and how I ride my atv...Both of my ATV's get cleaned before they are placed in the garage and everything I have is kept clean....Just my thoughts on paying for a a shiny ATV..

Well like bobby 002 i want a quad that is reliable tough powerful and gets me through the roughest terrain out there. But if i just dropped ten grand on a new quad i want it to look as good as it performs. For that kind of money flashy body work and wheels should come standard. That's just my opinion and it really doesn't matter because i dont mail in the pmt on that dude every month. So go for the glitz as well Sportsman because it's your dime and you should get what you pay for.
