Well I made a purchase today -

Thanks for all the help and replys to my question posted about issues - the members of this forum have been real helpful (NOT) ...

Un "friggin" believable... Been around forums many, many years this one takes the cake...

Quick to be sarcastic, and flaming though...

well not to sound like an ***, but you made the stupid thread durring and between the times people are leaving, and going to work. im not sure if you noticed, but today IS Tuesday the 10th. not im not really sure how you expect to get any replys when no one is on the forum, and plenty of your questions could have been answered by using your search button.

with that kind of attitude your not going to go far here.

Yup - just like I said ....the only way to get any feedback is create controvery with a profound statement then all the flamers come flying out of the closet and somehow find the time to respond ...

Seems you two found the time to chime in - no school or work today...

You found the time to flame and degrade why didn't you answer the friggin' question...???

I'm laughing cause I'm sure this will get quite a few a posts now - although out of all of them (as with yours) no one will answer the original question and offer any constructive help at all I can bank on it... LOL This thing will spiral out of control until the moderator steps on it sooner than later I hope.

wow, looks like somebody has been skipping their anger management classes. listen 1999cobra, my lazy a$$ sits in front of this computer for more time than I care to admit and I didn't notice your post until now. I was on this morn untill about noonish, and appearently I missed it. as mentioned above, the more abitious types usually work or go to school during the hours in which you expected replies, not to mention that most people don't wait untill the day of purchase to put up a post. in all honesty your expectations were unrealistic. for the most part we are a friendly, patient group, but if you expect any support in the future you may want to refrain for the insults and modify your behavior.

you seem to have just posted to cause an uproar, however, giving you the benefit of the doubt, I would recommend the 700 EFI, I don't think the 800 is worth the extra money just for the bragging rights, besides Bombardier builds the largest displacement ATV at 800 true cc's not 760 like the Polaris.

now, lets start over.

so 1999cobra, what did you buy?

O.K. then ...

Now on with it -

Well I went to Yamaha, Suzuki, Bombardier and Polaris ... I have two Yammy Apex sleds (awesome) however not so impressed with the ATV's and the same goes for Suzuki.

Bombardier I was very impressed with and still am also I am equally impressed with the Polaris SP's.

Actually I see the Polaris and Bombardier neck and neck leaning in on the Polaris for the following reasons - Polaris, more aftermarket market share, full skid plates standard, true four wheel drive, more storage space, more company accessories available, better color schemes, bigger dealer network.

Bombardier, seems to be very well engineered, built solid, true 800, a tad quicker than the Polaris although it's to close to call and depending on the skill level of the operator it's a toss up. I currently have spoken for two Polaris one 700 and an 800 both in black and silver one his - one hers. I can get the 800 for a bit more than the 700 so I figured I'd go for it although I agree with you 100 percent on the 700 vs 800 scenario. I haven't closed this deal and there's no money on the table I am still hedging about the Bombardiers and wish the 650 were in the showroom to look at physically as if I bought Bomb I would get an 800 and 650.

Sorry for the upset - but I did get your attention now didn't I - wink, wink...
