(Her dad's big on USA manufactured stuff, and a decent machine made by intelligent Japanese people wouldn't fly. Quite a narrow-minded mistake IMO.)

Fact is........you didn't come in here looking for "reccommendations".......that's a made up bunch of BS.......you came in here because you're a Honda snob and couldn't resist the opportunity to bash Polaris. Go away little troll.

You dont have to take anything from me. If the extent of your argument is my "screenname" then you win. lol
Myself and alot of other mechanics/riders could bash polaris all day long but there really is no need to. One day you will realize for yourself the legendary quality build polaris is famous for. Its the same reason that Polaris had to pull out of the PWC watercraft market. They just couldnt compete with the other big names and their machines couldnt hold together.

Just came back from the dealer and looked at and asked about this problem. Honest dealer spoke about other problems such as bad CV joints and broken axles - all covered under waranty and not specific to model.
He has not heard of the HAWKEYE weld problem. He did say for a while they were delaying delivery and maybe this is why. I looked at the last one he got in and can't tell by looking. Still would like to see a picture.
Talked to the mech. on the side and he independently said the same.
Side note: I would like the Sportsman 500 EFI and asked about problems there. He has not had any problems. Infact he said he hasn't even had to hook one up to the computer for diagnose as of yet. Says for the extra $ over the HO you get plenty more, I.E. engine braking, bigger tires.
