If Polaris would hurry up and get them to there dealers they could sell a butt load of them for holidays. The thing looks really good, and for the price you really can't beat it for what your getting. Only time will tell how it holds up, but I think being as simple as it is that there won't be any problems with it. This really should be a VERY hot seller for Polaris if they market it right....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Hey Rick
So from what I can tell these are not even Polaris built just decaled and plasticed by Polaris, Like the 90's. Is this correct?
If so I will like at another solution for my son, I have had nothing but problems with his Scram 90 and my friends 2 Pred 90's.

Let us know what you think Durability wise reliabilty wise, my son like to jump and has bent his Scram 90 Frame?!!??

Thanks

Wouldnt the blaster be a pretty good competition in the value department? What about the sub 3500 dollar 250 quads?
um... no because the blaster is like 20 times better.

And you know this how? I guess you've seen the Phoenix? You must be one of the select few that has rode them before they were released to dealers. It seems these 10 year old Yamaha people are coming in here starting stuff again. Yamaha isn't a bad brand, but people like you make others think they are. Most people that bash another brand have no way to back what they are saying up. You are no different. They are also trying to cover up a bad choice that they mad. Good day.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Is this a joke. A blaster shouldnt be compared to a little Phoenix. A blaster is a racing atv mostly and the phoenix just looks alot more recreational and I herd that the phoenix is pretty slow. But both atvs are good theyre just made for a little diffrent purposes i think.

Quadragin,

I had one of the first Eton 90's that later was changed a bit to become the Polaris 90 . I had some problems with mine too . It was not the machine that an LT 80 was as far as quality . I don't blame you a bit for being leary of the Phoenix . That being said though , I'll get one and be honest about it . If it is a heap of steaming dung I'll let you know .

I do know that the first units Polaris tested were not up to snuff . If I have correct information Polaris had 18 different issues they wanted straightened out before they went into production . This means one of two things , it is such a pile that Polaris needed to have 18 problems fixed or they really tried to make a descent entry level machine ...... Or , a third thing , I am being fed a bunch of baloney from someone who attended a dealer meeting .

Phoenixes should leave the Polaris warehouse the day after Thanksgiving enroute to the dealers . We should be seeing them on the showroom floor shortly there after . There will be a slow supply to the dealers , their first shipment will probably only two , or so I am told .

I have a red one coming . I'll know more about it after I've had it a week .

Rick
