Polaris, or Honda. Why?
I have never own a Polaris but would not hesitate to buy one. We had one in Iraq that was used and abused by many people in 130 degree heat, and received very little maintenance in return. On the other hand, the one Honda motorcycle I bought (new) required a new engine every 5,000 miles. After 15, 000 miles and three engines I got rid of the pos.

Polaris, or Honda. Why?
I really appreciate everyone helping me out here as it really is not an easy decision for me to make. I am going to be using it for trial riding, making my own trials, going up rivers/streams, etc... I want a good machine that I will be able to enjoy for many years to come. I plan to fully take great care of it, but I am also not the most mechanically inclined person. So I'll probably end up taking it to the shop when it needs work. Another words, I intend to get the extended warranty.
Thank you everyone, please keep the posts coming. Currently, I feel like the one I want is the 2007 500 Polaris EFI.

One other question. At the shop, where I'll be buying it, if I do, the color is black. It's not the black/white one, but auto painted black. Why isn't this color scheme showing up on the Polaris's Website? The machine is apparently new, still in the crate.
Thanks again!
