Just a few questions. How is the gas milage? We do a lot of riding in the mountains and need lots of gas. Is it a gas hog. I have had about 15 polaris's in the past 2 years and all seem to be great machines how does the 600 seem.

thanks

 

man I don't know about the 600's ver much but I have heard that they are snappier than the 700's besides I have heard of a lot of problems with the coolent and front shocks on the 700.

 

RealOldGuy,

I have heard the 600's do about the same as the 700's except in the 100 yard drag it will beat the 600 by half a quad length.....not necessarily important but news anyway. I have heard it has good torque and handles most all terrain very well. It rides smooth due to IRS and does well on curves, etc. as far as staying stable. I am in the market for a 600Twin as well and just trying to find a dealer that wont take my head off on the price. Support after the sale is <U>important </U>as well but I have a budget to go on too !!!!

Good luck on your future purchase !!!

 

picking up 600 in 2 weeks out the door final price 6670 anyone beat this price? that includes all charges

 

I paid 6800 for my 7 and they gave me a winch for a hundred bucks off the lowest quote I got from other shops.

 

the 600 shares the same new-style water pump as the 700.
i have owned three 700s so far and have had NO problems with the front shocks nor has my dealer received any complaints about front shocks. nor have i read a single post on this forum reporting a problem.
2 of my 700s were leakers. that's all! my dealer repaired them with the revised kits. fixed! no more leaks!

gas mileage has been average. i top-off before every ride and always had fuel to spare. most of my riding is in the deep woods and mountains. where i ride, there isn't help for miles and i MUST rely on a dependable, competent ATV....and that's why i ride a Sportsman.

"15 polaris's in the past 2 years "--WOW! what models??

-MT

 

Still on my first tank at 50miles, no reserve, but close. Nice machine.

 

I have 325 miles on my 600. Appears to get from 16 to 18 mpg which is about what I got with the HO. Steering is much better than my HO. The torque is unbelievable. Only 5 zerks on it. Is a great machine.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I got about 65 miles before hitting reserve on my 700 and that was on the first tank. I have not rode a 600 yet but I would think it would be very close to the 700. I can say you will love it. This is the best quad I have ever ridden. I to have not heard of any front shock problems in fact the front suspension is awesome! Maybe if you add a whinch and load up the front rack. 15 polaris's in 2 years? Tell us more. realoldguy which one do you ride the most?
