we stopped by a brp dealer to look at a 2002 700 they had out front "wanted $4999.00" and my wife went over and looked at the outlander 800 and just fell in love with the thing she is telling me next year she wants to get an outlander 400 [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] now shes going on about how she cant believe i dident get the 800 because its so much better looking then my sportsman i think im done taking her to dealerships
other then polaris....

 

lol...you should know better....

i like the looks of the outlander 800, but thats about as far as i like it....for my purposes of hunting, etc, I need a Utility ATV, the Outlander isn't it...I need the storage of the Polaris, the rack size and capacity, the upper racks, the On-demand AWD, the comfort and suspension, being able to travel with 600 pounds of elk meat on the racks....

Had a buddy call me 2nite telling me he look at the Outlander and is gonna buy 1. He made a "case" that they beat a SP800 in every catagory.......I cant agree seeing I have never even seen one much less rode one, but I think I will keep my plans to get a SP800 after the first of the year.

 

He needs to read the new Dirt Wheels and ATV Action mags. They both agree that on hardpack, a BRP will outrun the SP and feels a little better when jumping but in every other category the SP was better. The other categories were far more important things like ride comfort, offroad traction, overall stability, computer function, storage, etc.

 

quad magazine gave the win to the outlander but called it number 1 and the sp 1.5 did your freind only see the video on brp's site?? he should get out more...lol....i have never seen anyone other than brp give it the clean sweep..
i did honestly really like the way it looked and i think i would like the power but i know polaris well enough to know that there going to try and one up them in power sportsman 800 H.O. just rolles off the tounge dont it....

 

i still belive the sportsman 800 is the king of quads, and will be for some time, atleast untill they stick the 950cc Duke II KTM motor in it [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] then it will be un-goddly overlord of all styles offroad [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

down with BRP

 

He is just basing his opinions on test drives.....dont shoot the messengar...lol....just his opinion..not mine...

 

well if he has ridden both and likes the brp better more power to him i assumed he was basing his opinon on reviews. when i get back in the market i will drive them all and buy what i like best...

 

Ive rode the 800 Outlander and it"s quicker and the engine seems smoother,but...........thats where it ends for me...the Polaris 800 is a better trail machine,rides better handles better goes through the rough better.......I own 2 of them and my Buddy has the Outlander....overall the Polaris is the better of the 2 other than the extra horse power,but if I wanted to race,Id buy a Predator
