Just wondering. Have not seen any rag test results myself yet. Are they avoiding the 800 because it's a Polaris? Damn rags.

 

I dont think so, i think its all because they cant get ahold of them because there selling like hot cakes...ohhh they would sell if they smelt like hot cakes too! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img] anyway, ATV connection is suposed to do a rematch when they can get ahold of one.

 

ATV Mag just did a shootout with the BF being 1st then the sp800 with the KQ coming in 3rd. The same issue has the KQ being atv of the year, then say that the BF is best in class. There atv of the year comes in 3rd in the shoutout. The 800 came in 2nd or 3rd in every catorgory where-as the BF came in 1st and 2nd and then came in 5th in handeling. They also had the Grizz, Rincon, and AC650 in the shootout.

 

Yes, some how I think there full of it, they liked the BF at speed but all the other mags said its much less stable than the other mounts and its handling sub par.?

I expected better from ATV Mag! If they would consider all the other features than just sport trail riding ability it would be different.
For ATV of the Year its Suzks first attempt at IRS and EFI (and a good one) but Polaris has (had) that and much more in the sportsman.

There is a shootout with the 800 coming up next issue in ATV Rider mag.
