After seeing the new lineup i have suddenely lost alot of respect for polaris atvs and snowmobiles. I would have to say they are making a turn for the worst. Nobody likes the new IQ snowmobiles and i think its going to be the same for there new atvs. At least the sportsmans and scrambler look good. They need too get rid of the outlaw, hawkeye, and saw tooth and just start over. And also get a new look for there snowmobiles

 

A bit harsh don't you think???

The "Sawtooth" looks to me to be a Phoenix with different plastic. Made overseas.....so I don't like that.

But the "Hawkeye" seems pretty good with the IRS this would be a great "wife quad" or for any entry level rider.

The IRS "Outlaw" is a milestone ground breaking design.

EFI on the Sportsman 500 now.

A "Two-up" (two rider) machine that also converts to a utility pickup bed machine is a first.

Polaris always has more models and more inovations than any other manufacturer.

I find it hard to fault them........just look at Honda.......they NEVER offer anything new to the ATV market year in and year out.

 

honda dumps most of its R&D money for the offroad market into there dirtbikes and PWC's from what ive seen

 

Ya i guess i never really never looked out for the benefits of younger and beginner riders for i like more sporty quads. But you have to admit, they did kill there snowmobiles. When i was at the Roseau county fair, home of polaris, i overheard so many people putting down the new looks and etc.

 

i live in roseau county and hear people put down polaris every day 7 years ago you wouldn't see anything other then polaris here and yet polaris is still the number 1 choice because of so many people being employed there there is starting to get to be alot of negative things said about them and they did it to themselves. and there is getting to be alot more other brands around the area. i asked a guy who's wife works at polaris why he bought a honda atv brand new when his wife gets the discount. his response after all the repairs i would have to do on the polaris it would be cheaper in the long run to own a honda.

 

Hey weez, what part of Roseau county do you live in, Greenbush, Badger, Warroad etc. Ya you can see my dad even bought an Arcticcat because he was sick of polaris 4-wheelers. We've had nothin but trouble. Were you at the Greenbush dirtbike races saturday.

 

hey tblazer i was at the dirtbike races in greenbush on saturday cheering on a couple of my buddies racing and i live in badger. if you want to message me maybe we can go riding sometime dirtbike or atv's i am looking at getting a new dirtbike after i sell this one you will see it in the trading post for sale on sunday.

 

have you ever ridded the IQ 440??????? that sled handles so awesome it's not even funny! and you say nobody likes it? i must live in a F*cked up part of the country then, cuz everyone i talk to on the snowmobile forums want them to bring it to full production.
