Please enlighten me with what you Honda guys think, please no polaris boys. after all this is a honda forum. thank you!

Yeah, right! Maybe if Honda bought out all the old quads, and three wheelers, stopped all production of current quads, and changed all the tooling in the factories to make nothing but polaris, I could see Polaris taking over in about 20 years.

Polaris will never, I repeat NEVER surpass Honda in reliability.

Who knows about sales, though, because Polaris seems to advertise more. It isn't like everyone that walks into a dealership is an informed buyer. (If they were, I don't think Polaris would sell as many as they have). Sheep! Baaaaaahhhhh!

BTW- how does that 300EX chassis handle with the CR500 powerplant?

For $75 you might as well invest in a set of Sidewinder sprockets and chain.

Haven't you seen any of the Sidewinder ads in the magazines? Have you tried them yet?

Who thinks Polaris will surpass Honda? Simple- all of the polaris owners. They think that Polaris will probably outsell Ford motor company in the near future as well.
