Howdy all.....went to Reno, NV a few weeks ago and popped into a Polaris dealership.....real nice store and the salesman was up to speed. They had a 2011 XP 550 EPS that had all the plastic removed.......just the raw Sportsman. It made me stop, look and think about the engineering that it takes to make something as this Sportsman. I may grumble about the price of a new atv but I think we are getting a good bang for our buck with Polaris. ......NoJoke

 

It would be amazing to some to see how many steps along the way it takes to get to the dealership. And each step requires someone getting paid. Tire manufacturer, forge that makes the wheels, electronics makers, Polaris plant workers (and the building they work in), advertising, ATV shows, shipping, dealership building and workers there. It goes on and on.

 

I take my 550 XP (2009 with 7200 miles) complety down once a year to check every thing out and clean it real good..Just now replacing orignal tires..
