Don't know I'm not into snowmobiles. I couldn't tell you what a FUSION looks like.

I can tell you! I'm a Ski-Doo guy all the way and I thought the REV was the ugliest thing on the snow. That was until the Fusion came out. YUK![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

I own a Outlander 400 and have done a lot of research, including riding a lot of other machines. If you've actually driven both machines, you'd know the Outlander is a better all around atv.

I just hope the same guy that designed the Fusion had nothing to do with the new Sportsman....

the new Fusion is quite a dramatic style change for Polaris sleds. i kinda like the old look better. just place an '04 800xcr (orange) next to the new Fusion and you'll know what i mean.

ArticCat has an orange F7 Sno-Pro700. THAT thing looks HOT for '05!!!!

imho.


.....now, back to quads! LOL![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I don't ride sleds but the Fusion and RMK 900 are very pretty IMO. I would love to see those style headlights on the new Sportsmans. But thats just me....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Sorry ole1,

I have ridden both, and the outlander is far from being a better machine than the sportsman 500ho. It may have more pep but thats it.

I ride on organized rides quite abit. I could count the number of times I have seen an outlander at them on 1 hand. If they are so great, why aren't they selling.

All I got to say is, don't drop it into any mud holes. Not bashing, just talking from personal experience.

Rode my 330 Outlander 4 x 4 over 100 miles last weekend with a 2000 Remington RSE and 2003 Grizzly 660 and went through everything they did (mud, water, hills) w/o any problems and got 26 mpg while doing it. A great machine. And it was almost as fast as that 500 Remington, good thing he had an extra 170 cc's else he would have been in trouble.
