what first attracted me to Polaris was the size of there economy quads . When I was first looking to buy a cheap starter quad the Trailblazer/ Trailboss were the only quads that felt full sized. After looking at the Trailblazer I went and sat on a Blaster and there was no way I could spend more for that. Anyways im glad I did because I have grown to become quit the Polaris fan “Im on my third one now” So what brought you over??

 

because Polaris was the biggest and the baddest at the time, and the only quad with rear IRS. We bought that yellow 2000 Sportsman 500 H.O. and we still have it today. it has never broke, never failed and still runs like it was new. with 5000 miles on it

 

The ride, true AWD, and two speed automatic.

 

The ground clearance, true AWD, automatic transmission (i like it better than shifting all the time), rear IRScomposite racks, and the looks of them

 

dido of all the above. lol.

 

believe it or not, the Power. we wanted a wolverine, but took an Xpedition 425 for a ride and holy god it was fast! and it would still pull whatever we wanted! so we wound up w/ that... then on to the trail boss, to get me ready for what my father aknowledged would soon turn into an obsession w/ performance quads, then the scrambler X, and ultimately just when i wanted to get a true high performance machine, the Predator got reverse and Fox Podium shocks! it was truly awesome when they added that feature for '05, and solidified the Predator as my choice for a high performance machine. my X is an '02 and my LE is an '05... so i figure we'll see what they have in stor for the '08 model year. as long as they keep inovating, i'll keep buying [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

True 4-wheel drive. The absolute comfort of the ride. and the efi on the 500.

 

bought a trailblazer of a friend. love the automatic just gas and go. after new sprockets and chains it is a great fun machine. take a look a my pics i have put it threw its paces.

 

Most of the same reasons as above apply to me too.

When I was first looking in 2001 I was going to get a Yamaha or a Honda (buddies have them) and I seen a sportsman 500 HO Freedom on the showroom floor next to the others and it looked so much more solid and better built with bigger components.
Not to mention the color scheme and the chrome wheels looked bad a**!

I found out I could get the sp700 for a few hundred more and the rest is history.
The quad has been good to me and now I'm a Polaris loyalist. (I'm a brand loyal kinda guy)
If it had did me wrong I would have been gone to another brand.

Both my quads have been good to me and very reliable.

About 5-6 years ago, my friend pulled into my driveway riding a Sportsman 500 RSE, It was love at first sight.
