Ted, I've been wanting to ride in Utah for years....If you make it to Colorado, take her "a few extra miles" to Utah'. It looks like some of the best UTV / ATV riding I've ever seen.

Been wondering that myself. Maybe they'll jump to 1000 I read that the motor is not designed correctly for the RZR as it currently stands. Wouldn't take PO very long to modify whatever they needed though if they wanted to force it in there.

I love the concept of the RZR and would shell out for one if they had more power. Better start saving now.....

IT's not like the 800 is under powered but the new 850 motor is a little smoother and has more HP... It would be wise of polaris to try the best they can to drop the 850 in the RZR

Kisatchee Trail Restrictions - Louisiana

What are the Equipment, Registration, and License Requirements? No vehicle can exceed an overall width of 50 inches. Tires cannot exceed 1 inch lug depth or an operating air pressure of less than 10 pounds. Forest Service approved spark arrestors are required year around on all Kisatchie National Forest lands. Sound must be muffled to 99 db or less. Headlights and taillights are required to be in working order and must be used during times of limited visibility. Vehicle curb weight cannot exceed 700 pounds.

I think all ATVs use tires that run unnder 10psi?
700 lb limit - Not good.

You'd think the PSI limits would be a max of 10psi. Firmer tires create more damage.

This Forest is currently under Travel Management rules. Believe their final Motor Vehicle Use Map is complete.

The S is more of a dune machine, wider at 60 inches, verses the non S at 50, which is better suited for woods use. The difference is longer A arms on the S. Changing rims and tires is not going to narrow it to get into the back of a pick up.
