Default Bombardier 800 vs. Polaris 800EFI

The Bomb 800 is 62hp with 57 ftpds of torque. The Bomb 800 has 25% more power then the Brute Force and 28% more power than the Polaris 800. The Bomb 800 is considerably lighter than the Polaris 800.

The rear suspension has 75% fewer moving parts and the tires move straight up and down, which allows better handling as there is no rear wheel "scrub".

Right now, I don't think any other quad can compare to the Bomb 800.

Yes, I was running those numbers yesterday after my visit to the dealership. the only thing that's less than the Polaris is the tow rating, down by 200 pounds to 1300. Probably won't be missed {yes, I'm rationalizing a purchase :&gt[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] } Thanks for the info on the tach, cc1999, the sales guy was not knowledgeable and didn't know when I asked him.

I can't get the thought out of my head how much like a Ducati 851/888 it sounded, it cries out for a set of Termignoni Duals.

What is the deal on the five year warranty, is it no longer available on the Outie 800?

If you watched there infomecial, at the end there was a special invitation to log on or call with a code and get a cupon to get the five year promotional warranty over the standard 3 year. That was going on right when I boought mine and originaly they gave me the 3 year and about a month later we got it all staigtend out and now I have the 5 year on mine as well.

I got the five year warrenty with mine. You have to ask for it and the dealer will have to pay 125.00 for it which they pass directly to you. The promotion limits the arrangements allowed by the dealer. I think the financing is not available if you choose the warrenty. Just ask and be firm[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] It is available from BRP.

I like to modify my quads and add more power. Currently, there is NO efi box for the Poo that can change your injector map & add nitrous. Currently the only one available is for the Outy 800.

My dealer (the salesman) flat lied to me about extended warranty.....said BRP stopped selling extended in November. I should call the customer svc # in the back of the owner's manual (which says the warranty is for only 6 months btw).

That is irritating....I offered to pay them extra for it. Just bought it this month.
