This is why i like polaris so much. My 96 Xpress-400 and 97 Sportsman-500 have seen the Rigors of the most hairy, nasty, and downwright roughest terrain i could find, as well as the WRATH of my younger causins....while tumbling along the way (lol). and they are both in 1 piece still.(2 pieces if you count both quads..!!). i cant say that much for all the broken down and wrecked Quads that ive passed along the way..(i wont list any makes or models here).
