Can anyone give me sales figures for 03 polaris Units vs other manufacturers, as well as 04 units to date with the introduction of the new EFI.???
Kinda curious as how close Polaris and Honda are?
Thanks

 

The last figures I seen were from 02 I believe. Polaris was second from the top (the top being Honda). Somewhere in the 150,000 units range if I remember correctly. I have tried searching for more recent info on the sales figures but have come up empty handed.

 

Thanks! Yea I was searching also.. And figured it a relatively easy search as competitive as these manufacturers are, I was wrong!
Appreciate the info!

 

If you do come across it let me know. BTW, the info that I got was from this forum. Someone had posted the figures a few years ago. I tried a search at one time on here with no luck. If you can find the post though, please let me know. Thanks! - BBS

 

They show a total sales figure of 1.606 billion dollars for 2003. 65% of that was ATV sales. Don't have the number of units, but that's a boatload of ATV's.

 

It doesn't seem like this information is readily available. In my searches, I found someone who was looking for specific numbers back in 2001, 2002 to use in preparing a legislative proposal in Pennsylvania. In other words, he needed hard, accurate numbers but was unable to find any on the net. The best suggestion made to him was that he write directly to the major oems and ask them.

The info below, while it doesn't answer the question, is from Poo's investor relations.

"Sales of ATVs were $266.7 million in the second quarter of 2004, up seven percent from second quarter 2003 sales of $248.3 million. The RANGER line of utility vehicles sales increased sharply during the second quarter while sales of Polaris ATVs outside of North America continued to grow, increasing 55 percent during the second quarter 2004 compared to the second quarter of 2003. Demand for the new Sportsman 700 EFI (electronic fuel injection) ATV continued to gain momentum adding to the growth in sales during the quarter as well. The average ATV per unit sales price for the second quarter 2004 was slightly higher than last year's second quarter due primarily to a mix change as more of the new higher priced Sportsman 700 EFI and RANGER models were sold during the current quarter."

 

Did you see where the PWC sales only accounted for 3% of all their total sales? I can see why they are getting out of that market.
