OPEN INVITATION!!!
#1
Here it is. I just checked out the post in here on Polaris unreliability. What a crock!
Reliability aside. Here is an open invitation to all riders: Come up to Quebec and have a shoot-out...your quads against my 2 Polaris'. My rides will eat yours up and chew them out! Mud, dirt, rocks, etc...
Let's get it over with once and for all! All riders of all brands invited. I will even pay for the B.B.Q.!!!

Be cool, Xplor, don't take the flame bait!
Some Honda owners accept the fact any and all ATV's may malfunction, posting this point of view on the topic you reference.
Discussing Polaris ATVs on the "Honda ATVs" forum seems, well, a bit like entering the wrong pew in the church, to me. I wonder, who is the target audience? Honda owners? Polaris owners?
While a barbecue in Quebec (or whatever the French equivalent for "barbecue" is) sounds like fun, no record exists of any two (or more) ATVers meeting physically to settle any argument or disagreement raised on the Forum (your gathering could be the first, I guess).
Gordon Banks even put up a thousand dollar (US) challenge once (I think the argument had to do with rock-hopping nimbleness), but his opponent chickened out.
If anyone accepts your invitation to "prove" something about the relative merits of one ATV over another, please share the results!

Hey, they are all great machines! They are built for different uses right? I have a 300EX I really like it, I almost traded it for a 500 Scrambler because I rode one and it is a more comfortable machine on a long trail ride. But, for what I use a quad for I really dont need that type of machine so I decided not to pay the extra money. I think next spring I might get a second quad and it might very well be a 500 sportsman. I just have to keep the belt dry right?

I invite one and all to look at the Missouri State Harescramble Series race results page and make your own call. Racing through the woods is where the Polaris's (with their stronger engines, better suspension, switchable 4X4, better turning radii, must I go on?) should shine, or is it?
One has to ask himself, is it the Honda that makes a good rider or that the good riders choose Honda?
All kidding aside, why do you Polaris folks get so miffed about the reliability thing? If it's not true, you can just sit there with a smug little grin on your face and laugh to yourself about how uneducated some of us are.
My personal experience with Polaris wasn't a good one (not to say others experiences may not differ). We have been Honda people for quite some time, but were inticed by the automatic tranny and low price of the Polaris Sport 400L for my mom and sister. (From memory, I'm sure I'm forgetting lots of stuff...) First the transmission went out, then failed again, the rear brakes failed, then it caught on fire, next it would spontaneously die, then the electrical system fried all the lights (that's when I found the rats nest they called a wiring loom), finally it was stolen from our driveway. It was a day of celebration when the insurance check came. At this point we had owned it less than 1, yes 1 year. This was my stepfather's lesson, I can assure you he will never buy a Polaris product again.
Polaris, I'm sure has improved since those days, heck, I am going to give them a chance and get my wife one, but they built that reputation for themselves, now they live with it, be it still true or not.....
