Polaris for 2009.
 

Heard from a good source that Polaris will have a 850cc and a 550cc sportsman in 09 with the motor mounted sidways like a honda and the RZR. They also lost a few pounds too. Suspension is more like the RZR as well.

I talked to my dealer yesterday and he said the '09s will be out in a few months but didn't say anything else. I'm waiting to see what's new.

I was looking on the CARB website today and there was a bunch of 09 Polaris stuff on there looked like the same line-up as 08', except no 700 X2. I know this doesn't mean anything, nobody puts their real new stuff on there until after the release anyway.

I hate to sound negative, but I have heard too many times that polaris' lineup is losing weight. I will believe it when I see it. Does everyone remember all the significant changes that were supposed to happen for the 05 models? Where is the double A-arm front suspension? Polaris should put more emphasis on handling as opposed to adding more ccs and calling it a day.

One thing I think we can be fairly sure of, Polaris is going to bring to market a product line that will make them $$$$! That is the bottom line!
Right now the line they have is doing quite well in a fairly poor economic environment and for the most part is gaining market share, so is it realistic to imagine that they will change direction completely?
I would bet that adding cc is a fairly safe and conservative move for them right now in the ATV line with most of their R&D dollar going to the SxS market that is growing rapidly, more profitable and a big part of their market share growth!
