Ill tell you how polaris is gunna keep up.

With their new quad i forget what cc it is but it is either a 650 660 or a 680. It is supposed to have a really light frame and some kick a$$ plastics. The thing is supposed to walk all over banshee's and raptors. I heard it is supposed to be out either this spring or like next fall.

I heard this from a very reliable source. I live 15 min from the polaris factory in roseau and i have lots of family that work there and they have a new quad coming out.This is no bs it is true.

i know some more but i do not know everything about it if you have any more questions i might be able to answer just ask.

 

The Sportsman 700 TWIN will be announced in a couple weeks.

 

Heres my list of demands for the new polaris sport quad, and 250sxMan if you would please take these directly to the factory, j/k [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

1. Light weight, around 400 would be nice.
2. MANUAL TRANNY we the auto can stay in the scramblers for hills climbs
but an all sport quad, I wanna be able to control the power.
3. New plastic, It looks good now, but this will be a new generation of
Polaris quads, start fresh.
4. Dual A-arm, w/ shocks, not struts up front w/ at least 9" of travel.
5. Foot Pegs instead of the heavy floorboards.
6. Lowerd seat height and wider stance. Let that baby slide all day.
7. Keep the price low.
8. Keep it out of the scrambler famly. New and inventive name.
like, "inventive name here" 680XTC

Thats what it would take to keep me a faithfull Polaris fan.

 

Yes...drop the Scrambler name for once...hehe. It isn't that ingenius.

I think (just guessing here) that polaris will drop the 500. I bet they just threw off some cheap new grapics, and made enugh to fill the orders they have now. When they come out with the new one, it will be the same price as the current sp500. It will enrage owners, but hey, it works for polaris. (plus, 2002 sp500's will be a huge collectors item)

 

i sure hope the new sport quad rumor is right cause i am about to switch brands for the simple fact of the weight issue on there sport quads i have been a diehard polaris rider for 5 years now i have bought 3 new quads from them but they are gonna have to change things some on the sports series to keep me buying they may not care if i do but if alot more people feel the way i do then they will be hurting down the road.
just my thoughts!

 

I know for sure i'll jump ship to hopefully cdale if polaris doesnt do somehing about ther sport utility. Im giving them 2 yrs. One year to make the quad, and another to see how it holds up and competes.

 

Soon you will see this:
1) Sportsman 700 twin- Approx. 450 have all ready been put together
2) Sport model 700 twin- saw the prototype

 

WOW you must have a good source up in Roseau. So when will they be released??? and can u tell us any details about the sp700 and new sport model?? how did it look??

p.s. that would be 449 that will be available for sale, ones going im my garage.

later

To continue on from my Bad Boys post.....the walk and talk with the sparrow...they're migrating earlier every year. Both 400cc machines will return. There will be "X" badges worn by 400lb 499cc machines. these have "A" arm front suspensions. Camshaft probs have surfaced. Be patient and loyal....They know if they build it you will come ( not to be confused with a different spelling of that word.) Giving up 160cc, it still ran with the Raptor...Anyone for modifications??? Hang in there, and pay down the bills.
