Very nice.

Looks like it could use a few mud laced miles.

If I remember right he got it as a long term tester. If Polaris can woo him they can woo anybody.

thanks men

I got this via Doug Meyer of ATVTV.com and Polaris for a long term test. Most of the time when people do reviews on ATVs they ride them for a day or maybe two and write a report. Both Doug and Polaris is hoping I can put a few thousand miles on it and see how it goes.

So far I can tell you that the OE tires are not very good snow tires and my first tank of gas I got 13.3 mpg. I hope that improves and we have new tires ready to swap out the OEs.

I am now up to 48 trouble free miles. And in all honesty I am hoping for several thousand trouble free miles.

Give it a few more miles and you may have much more to say about those tires, bad on snow, dirt and unless in 4 wheel bad on rocks.
