That might be stretching a little. I ride with polaris all the time, and i like them, but i have never wished i would buy one. If someone wishes to buy a Polaris, there isnt any reason not to, they are actually fairly cheap compared to other brands, I think bom is top price, AC is next, Yamaha........

THIS THREAD IS WORTHLESS!!!!!!!!! There is hardly any truth in this first post. It is the first year for the efi in the 500 fuji and of course there is going to be problems with it. Get used to it, problems happen, There is less threads about the other brands of atv's problems probably because too many people are out trading in there atv for a polaris! NON of my 3 polaris atv's have broken majorly in any way, 2 are new to the family one being used and the other being brand new. The other newly bought late in 2000, it is a 2001 sportsman 500 ho. One month after the first day we bought it we started riding it almost EVERY weekend, riding double with a total passenger wieght of about 380-390lbs. We would ride about 200+ miles in a round trip per day! We were wot about 90% of the time. NEVER over heated, NEVER blew up, NEVER broke down! Now im not talking just rode riding, im talking about the tight turns the hard coners the pavement the 95+ degree days im talking about water, thick or soupy mud over the fenders, ice, snow, rocks, hills, jumping ect ect. This still goes on with this wheeler today. I am willing to bet I have over 5000 miles now. Here is all the problems I have had with this wheeler. Speedo stopped working, rear brakes just finally went bad and fronts are almost there aswell, one flat tire(not polaris' fault) a clogged K&N filter(my fault) and thats it! Only other thing that has happened was a battery went bad over winter because it froze and broke and I have hit 2 trees, One was hit about 20 and was a fairly small pine, My fault again, I was going too fast on a opposite slopped corner while it was raining and it was at night, I wasnt paying attention went to jerk back on the trail more and front slid down the hill and hit the tree while I was braking. Other tree Is also my fault, going around a turn going 60 riding double on a dirt road, front end slip again because i took the outside of the turn and got in the loose crap! I would LOVE to see a different brand of wheeler do what I did! I would like to see the mangled mess that would be left, Mine was back on the trail 2 days later! Want to see what the wheeler looked like? Heres a pic and see for yourself, I bet a different brand probably wouldnt be able to do what I ever did by myself or with 2 people. Especually since all the hondas got stuck in 4wd where I made it in 2wd. Not bashing hondas but thats what brand was riding with us that day except for other polaris'wrecked polaris
