All the guys without XP's share their opinions as non owners and limited if any seat time on a 850XP. I don't have alot of hours or miles on mine but I can say that every minute/mile has been a blast on the 850!! We all know the faulted logic behind the theory of I'll wait on the purchase because next years model will better when that will always be the case. Just like the guys that says I am not going to buy that new computer because next year Windows 7 is out, or the processor will be faster or or or. ..... and if you buy into it that approach you will never enjoy the benefits of newer and better models. The 850 is awesome and there has been enough ink written about it so that point is pretty clear.
I almost started a post the other day to draw out the many XP owners on this site that have had no problems but figured that we all know there are lots of owners on this site and the problems are limited to a few. In addition what doesn't get posted in the information about these problems are some of the "small" details that lead up to a particular problem.
I think I share the viewpoint of most 850XP owners in that the quad is awesome and a blast to ride. Totally enjoy it and don't have one regret about purchasing it. It may not be for everyone but heck that is why they make slower quads.

I've had my 850 since last Oct. and I plowed snow all winter (about 4 mi. of gravel road and driveways) I've been up in the mountains on skid roads and trails, played on a sandy beach along the salmon river, hauled bales of hay around my place and have changed the oil and cleaned the air filter. The Issues I've had? ZERO! No problems at all! I don't abuse it but ride it hard at times too. I'm very happy with my "first year model".
Polaris for making a great machine!
