The 500 EFi is going to be in the lineup and the 600 will not, that is what I hear anyways and my dealer agreed.

A new scrambler 800 EFI, Just slap a SRA on sp800 slap on some sport plastic, trim some of the weight down and that would be a cool 4x4. Maybe make room for a true dual exahust would be good too.

Good luck "trimming some of the weight" - that's a basic part of the sportsman. I don't see how they could be much lighter without changing the whole quad. I like the weight, though.

2-stroke 1000cc 4x4 with all the storage and looks of the Sp with a 550lb weight and a 7 gal tank. WHY NOT? F#$k the two stroke haters. I love my 800 but power to weight ratio=2-stroke winner

There really isn't anything much to say after that.

yeah, i would like to see more 2 strokes, make the scrambler at least 60 pounds lighter and possibly bolt in a 600 engine. that would be pretty cool, the scrambler needs to be way lighter and almost everyone could say that unless you are using it for its 4wd, which comes in handy when you get stuck mudding and stuff. I dont think that they will make a 4 digit cc engine, that would be a flippin harley with 4 wheels. haha and he is right, that "smart answer" came out of nowhere and you just made yourself look like a bigger dip than you were to begin with.

They need to do the following:

1) 500 Sportsman EFI
2) Build something the same size as the Rhino to compete with it. ( Not the Ranger either, it is too big )
The Rhinos have a poor 4x4 system & they will not go anywhere in 2wd when it is slick out.
The Polaris 4x4 system would probably eliminate this.

3) Get rid of all of the 2 stokes, Everyone in the country feels they need to be eliminated except 2 stroke lovers.
4) Get rid of the Magnum series atvs.
5) Reduce the cost of repair parts.
6) Maybe test a Sportsman with a transmission like the Rincon. ( just to see how it would do ). I think the belt is fine though.

Other tan that I feel there ATVs are superior to others.
Agree with most of it. I think all models of Sportsman/Ranger line should be EFI. I think the Magnum has a place, but the price needs to be lowered.

The transmission comment is interesting. I too think the currents system works well, but Polaris needs to get on the R&D before they get left behind.
