Thought i would share this with you all. We had an organized ride in today my hometown area. There was appoximately 50 4-wheelers. At least 40 of them were Polaris. It seems that Polaris is taking over the world. Polaris Industries definately would have been proud today. CT 00 Scrambler 500

That is great. I'm glad people are seeing polaris for what they are great machines. Think what would happen if polaris released a high performance quad to compete with the 400ex, banshee, and Ds650.

The Sport400 and the Scrambler400 2X4 already do compete with the 400EX and the Banshee. I have seen the Polaris machines blow away the competition.

Maybe in a flat out drag-sometimes. But lets be honest-the Scramblers arent the true Sport quads that the 400ex is. Dont get me wrong- i prefer my Scrambler 500 over those any day- but it cant compete in the jumping, MXing, hard core Sport riding. But once again I could really care less about that. The Scramblers are great all around quads.

Take an all new lighter frame, add the Scrambler 400cc to it and add a manual shift. Its that easy Polaris...why can't you guys do it. In the mean time, I like my Polaris the way it is.

LURCH77,

Don't forget to add high performance parts, a new front end, lower seat height, better handle bars and give me a choice between 5-speed and a High Performance PVT.

Just my addition to your WISH LIST!

I agree on the choice of PVT or shift. I would rather have the very tunable PVT. But they need to offer a manual to appeal to the rest of the crowd out there. And a double A-arm set up would be cool.

Lurch77, I could not agree with you more! If Polaris would build the machine you just described, they could move Honda out of the number 1 sales position.

Polaris are you LISTENING!!!

Just my .02 cents worth.

Thanks,
John
