Since everyone liked my post about the "test riders" being midgets/dwarfs ( not to degrade little people ) I have to ask, Am I that much larger than everyone else that a Polaris feels like a good fit? 5'10" 230lbs, and commercial diver by trade, the company just bought a submarine, and I'm a Licensed Ship Captain, Hence the name CaptNemo.....

At those dimensions--Do you have a neck??? So, knowing the profession, is your bike snorkelled??

I am 6'6" at 220lbs. I will only ride full size machines. Test rode different machines, and the Trail Blazer was the only one I felt comfortable on in my price range.

Yes I have a neck, but since the dive helmet that I own weighs about 35 lbs. out of the water, I have an 18 inch collar on my shirts....
It's a real pain to find dress shirts that fit well, they seem to be cut for someone that makes Rush Limbaugh look like an ATV Magazine Test Rider.........
No my quad isn't snorkeled, I just swim it across on my back... LOL

LOL-I bet you would have no trouble with locker kit and harder steering, either it turns or you could bend the handlebars.
