Very Happy. Yes, would buy again, in a heartbeat. Only problem (really not one) was had to adjust the High/Low/Netural/Reverse Shift Lever. Was making a grinding noise when in low gear. Was very easy to fix, got help from this forum. Have almost 900 miles on the P650 since January.

[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]Howdy,
My 650 is over a year old and has been trouble free so far. I had the belt adjusted at 1000 miles. That is the only time that it has been in the shop. I certainly would buy another one!!!!! Most of my riding buddies only get to see the tail light and dont know what the front end looks like. They can only see it when I stop for a cool brewski!!! I have read all kinds of posts about the 700 Polaris and 660 Grizz having a myriad of problems. For the money I think it is the best buy going!!!!

Absolutely!!
This is my first quad, and I am very happy with it. No problems (only 80 miles) I love the acceleration (exhilaration that it has along with the excellent engine breaking system. It is better than I could have imagined a quad could be!

Just got a 650 to replace the 2000 Polaris Sportsman 500 that is more trouble than it's worth.... BIG STEP UP!!!!!!!
The engine is very performance oriented.... as long as you follow the break in procedure, (which is difficult with all that power on tap that you can't touch) it should last a long time.
I also think that since it is a V-Twin and it is more balanced, there is less stress throught the engine as compared to the single cylinder powerplants.
