Put 40 more miles on my XP today. Muddy hill climbs and wide open fire roads mostly. With the rear cargo box on it will only do 75 wide open. With the box off it'll do 79. Maybe 75 is fast enough though. The more I ride it the more I love the darn thing. I definitely need better tires though. I'm thinking bighorns.

79 is pretty damn fast. I have not been near the top yet.
Keep us posted with what you end up with tires-wise. Pretty sure I'm going to run the OEMs this season and buy something else next spring. Maybe IPT will have 26x10 14s by then for the rear end.

I can't understand why if the economy is so bad some dealers will not try to deal. A big part of the enjoyment in the first few rides is knowing you got a deal your happy with. Don't do like I did the first time loading, take it easy on the gas or you may do a wheelie into the trailer.
Yeah...no doubt! Thanks for the tip...I'll make sure to take it easy.biz

Thanks everyone for the well wishes! Took delivery of the PJ 5'x12' trailer with 4' ramp today. Pulls like a dream empty...so should be even better with my XP 850 loaded.
YES...pictures will be forth coming!!! Lots of pictures too! Both of the XP and the PJ. This goes without saying, but will be adding pics of my daughter's 2008 Outlaw 50cc too!
OBTW: Just found out that during the month of May...if you purchase a WARN winch...you get a rebate. Go to there website...and download the rebate form. I found that out because I am buying a RT30 for the XP!
Thanks again...

Congrats BIZ!
I can relate to the excitement. It was soo much fun over a year ago
to go and buy the new 08' 800 when it came out! No buyer's remorse
at all! I like you had to travel about 2hrs away to save $1300. Well worth the
$60 in extra gas. Its a shame you have to do that though, I mean its all Polaris right?
Those dealers should at least be able to match other "Polaris" dealership prices especially if they are exclusive POLARIS dealers. Same deal here man! You wouldn't be in the DC/MD/Va area? If so let me guess? Ridersville Cycle? No one in this mid-atlantic area can touch their prices!
Enjoy ride my friend!
Cheers,
