I just wanted to klnow the actual list prices of both machines, I checked out the outlanders before I bought my Sportsman 800, it seemed like the outty was double the cost of the polaris. I wasa just wondering what they actually sell for.

 

I would save the $1000 and buy the X2. you can't tell me you've never done a job around the house/woods/ect where a little extra storage would have come in handy and the racks just weren't big enough or was to akward to use a rack and needed a bed.

how about a little stone project around the house, woodchips for the Mrs's flowerbeds, firewood, extra gear for a longer ATV ride, a chainsaw to clear that big log 3 miles in.

the bed has a practicle purpose imo. it's dual purpose- but i agree it's either or.(seat or storage). but's that's the way it was designed! if you wanted a dump AND 2-up that thing would be 12' long! LOL!

i think the Outty Max XT is one mean machine! it's a TERRIFIC 2-up! no-one can criticize it's capabilitys OR comfort for both driver AND passenger. watch the Bomb DVD to see it's performance capabilities. it's incredibly impressive!

BTW,who saw the '07 Polaris's? are they out yet? i don't think so.

yes their out. go onto polaris .com for the 07' line up and you'll see them all. they were put up monday 7/31 after the show on the weekend.

 

I helped set up for the dealer show. The comfort of the passenger seat is nicer than last years.

 

stendori.....I think when he was talking about being.... OUT.... is are they at the Polaris dealers yet........caper..

 

When can you buy a 2007 Polaris....or even see them in the showroom....Not here yet in my part of
canada.....caper...

 

dealers at the show have ordered. Dealers who did not attend will be placing orders now through the coming days. I'd guess they will start seeing them show up in the next month or 2

 

Mtpockets,

Ok I agree! If you had the dump there will be times when you might throw something in there.

But Polaris has made a major effort to provide a box to do minor chores that I would use my trailer or rack for otherwise. And to do so they sacrificed my ability to tour comfortably! Unacceptable!

Given the sales of Kimpex seats (and OL Maxs') and the relatively poor sales performance of the ATP, you would guess Polaris would have placed more emphasis on a comfortable seating/rack arrangement!

I am sure you will enjoy your outlander 500 but how can you dis polaris without ever looking at an 07 up close?

 

VERY good points EBEL. the trailer would come in handy and would hold A LOT more. another good point with the ATP- it has been a flop in sales. in fact, my local dealer was still sitting on a '04 ATP left-over BRAND NEW! LOL!

i don't think your dissin. the fact that your passenger isn't comfortable on the X2 but IS on a Max should be respected. (to each their own!)
