As of right now i would say the polaris is abetter machine except the fact that it is going against hondas reliability record(not saying that polaris wont hold up). i will bet in a few years that honda will offer the option of 2 wheel and 4 wheel with a better differential! i know polaris makes an excellent machine but you cant cut on honda they are bulletproof! also take in to consideration that honda cant upgrade their machines as often due to the fact that they have to upgrade streetbikes, motocrossers, etc.!!
