Thanks Odin,

the big questions is WHEN?? when can i see it??

also how much will it cost??

so it sounds like this is a "all-new" sportsman rather than a HO with a bigger motor.

Odin, now you've gone and done it. I'm going to have to wait for the new machine. How much will the machine weigh? I've heard that the pre-production model weighed 843 lbs but they were cutting some of that weight. If Polaris wants to remain competitive, they need to trim the fat off the machines.

Same weight or a little lighter. Now I can't confirm this but I also think there is going to be a Wisconsin model to deal with the 650 pound weight limit.
