Default No outlaws for 2012

Is this the case or am i missing something?

I know all the rest were gone last year but the IRS but I dont see it this year... Does that mean my outlaw resale is junk? to many specific parts in the irs.

NOPE,consider it a collector item?? KTM bought back Polaris's 25 percent share of their company a few years back. You can always get engine parts through any KTM outlet if Polaris doesn't have parts availability.Body and frame parts will probably be available a few years.(maybe??) Just like my wife's 2007 Saturn Vue with the 3.5 Honda engine, I'll just get the engine parts through Honda if need be!(that is if we keep the plastic body piece of junk!) Engine is only reason we bought it! OPT

Just great.. I loved my scrambler and then when I wanted to get a true sport quad everyone told me not to go with polaris because of aftermarket support was almost 0. I didnt listen and just this past few months I have been trying to get the heal pockets for an 08 and the dealer told me they are no longer avail. found some used ones and ordered them. last month my front bearings went and I think it was caused by my a-arms not moving very well. finaly found parts to fix it but no needle bearings avail for polaris a arms. Mine is an 08 and I ride hard so I am sure a lot more parts will be failing soon.

Now it wont be long before the rear IRS will need rebuilt and ods are I will be SOL.

After this I dont see any future in polaris sports quads even if they try again no one will want to take a chance with them.

Writing was kind of on the wall with KTM buying back Polaris's stake a few years ago. I would be surprised if they don't have a new sporty in the works, or at the least are working on a new(in house?) engine.

I have an 08 Outlaw 525 IRS I got new as a hold over for 3500 OTD last year. and even if they dropped the line I will keep this one I love the machine in every day and for the price i paid that's one heck of an deal on a ATV brand new.

For me IRS is awesome on trails and gravel pits which is all i ride.
