and I was SHOCKED to see the Xp850 weighed in at 808 pounds ???? Are you kidding me? I thought the new Polaris' were supposed to be lighter than the old?</end quote></div>
Yep, that's why they ride so well, and can take a beating.
You should take one for a ride. Incredible how nimble the machine feels for it's size... and smooooooooth.

Yep, I had to weigh mine I could not believe it was that heavy after riding it. I thought maybe Polaris was overestimating the weight for some reason..nope,its over 800 lbs wet. Sure doesn't feel like it.

Well I can't speak for XPs but just pushing mine this weekend in place in neutral, man that
dawg'gone thing is a tank. Puts things in perspective though, I for one would not like that weight
coming down on me. Going full throttle into the corner of my deck (accident, another thread)
made me appreciate at the size, weight and TOUGHNESS!
Regards,
R'

They could make a light-weight frame that breaks in half at the slightest little tweak, but if I wanted that I'd get a Can-Am. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
