First off its on the Bombardier website so of course its rigged. Do you really believe they are going to show their "newest" machine getting beat doing anything. I mean cmon lets be real, thats no way to sell anything. Dont get me wrong the Rotax engines are provin to be well made and powerful. I have 2 Rotax powered sleds and love the motors. But to think the videos are not rigged is just ignorant! So they tried to show they were legit by letting their 400 lose a race to a BIGGER atv, what a joke. Go to each manufactures website and tell me they dont claim to be better than everyone else! Their was a post just a few days ago that said the Bombardier was a pos in a sled pull. As for Drag races, buy a sport atv, jeez I have never had my sportsman over 30. Who cares buy an ATV that you like and ride the **** out of it!!!!

I have owned both Bombardier and Polaris ATV's, they are both excellent ATV's. I currently own a 2006 Polaris 800 and it is one sweet machine, I also looked at the 800 Bombardier it too is a sweet machine.
Drag Race - Realistically the Bombardier 800 should beat the Polaris 800 in a drag race due to the lesser weight and more cc's.
Sled Pull - Something wrong there, Both have the power and torque to haul that sled. I don't beleive that the rider on the Polaris pinned the
throttle the same as he did on the Bombardier. (watch the video again for tire spin)
Mud Bog - What a blatant attempt to stop the Polaris 800, that test rider should get the idiot of the year award for that one. He needs to go
to stunt driving school to polish up on how to make it more realistic. The Polaris is a better mudder than the Bombardier no
question about it.
Listen my fellow ATVers both 800's are excellent Atv's and if I could afford it I would like to have both. I do know this if they want to make a proper competition out of this, then Polaris and Bombardier and the other companies should send thier own drivers on stock ATV's to compete. Then we would see a true comparison. Both Polaris and Bombardier owners of the 800 don't get your panties in a knot over this, all companies make video's to ensure thier product looks the best. And like I said before I would own both if I could afford it.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

The reason they didn't show the polaris in that little log cross competition is that the polaris would only spin about 1.75 inches where the Bomb spun the tires a couple rotations before the vislok kicked in. Now put the spinning tires on soft sand and see what happens when it takes that long for the "torque transfer to take place". Not bashing Bomb here, I believe that no doubt they are faster ( that's cool, faster is always good). But I'll stick with polaris for now, I like the weight. I do a lot of pulling and pushing. I don't believe the pull was a fair "honest" run.

Jeremy isn't going to get BRP until the first of the year. My Predator is on his lot for sale right now and I guess I'll take the 700 up there as well unless one of my buddies wants a good deal. I will take the Outty up there so he can compare them side by side. Did he mention that I created a few logos for him with the new new name. PM you email address and I'll send it over to you to see what you think.

OK...I am back from the BRP dealer with the new 800 in tow. I have only had a short time to ride and I am not going to completely dog it until after break-in. I have ridden the SP800 numerous times and there is a VERY noticible difference in acceleration in low and high gear. I can't speak about pulling yet, but if my *** dyno is working, I am going to assume that the results in the video are pretty accurate which only makes sense given the HP and torque numbers.
Now, the biggest difference for me is handling and feel. This is very subjective, so take it as you will. The SPs have the absolute smoothest suspension of anything that I have ridden including the Outy 800. However, the Outy is very close in comfort. The handling isn't even close. The Outy turns with far less roll and much more precision. It feels much sportier, yet retains a lot of cruising comfort. BRP has done a great job with suspension. I also like the ergos on the BRP as much as the Sportsman, which I really like.
Another very noticable difference is how smooth the Rotax engine runs. This isn't a surprise to me since I have owned a couple of Seadoos. Build quality is excellent with all pieces fitting together very well. There are no rattles at all although we'll see after I get some time on the hour meter. It is also impressive that they kept the 3 year warranty with a first year bike.
I can certainly see why Quad magazine ranked the BRP #1 and the Sportsman #1.5.

I really don't think the video was rigged, staged maybe with some bad acting, but why would BRP make a video if it wasn't true? If you lost a sand drag race, would you advertise it? Of course not. What about lawsuits? What happens if the other manufacturers make a similar video and they still can't beat the BRP? I doubt BRP would put themselves in that situation. Like other replies, it's just a drag race or sled pull, put it thru some real issue riding and leave it up to customer preferance. Rigged or not, I think BRP got what they wanted, alot of curious and potential buyers.
