I don't know about u other experienced atv riders, but the most important thing to me is low end power to keep the wheels spinning at the top of the hill, or the roll on power to get my front up over a jump or water. Remember Speed kills! and if u want to go fast then by a street bike!

Hakmaster, c'mon. That's not nice. I've seen a Sport 400 do 80 mph... on a trailer.

the only time I ever saw a Polaris go faster than 60 was when I watched one fall off a cliff. It still could be disputed because we didn't have a stopwatch to determine its rate of descent.

Just by a simple ugrade of the air filter the 400ex was well over 70. not bad for a small investment.

Hak- either your joking or clueless. Several Polaris quads go 60mph+.

Yes I was joking. It seems that a Polaris guy always starts off these debates with either an assumption that everyone else hates their quad, or that it is the greatest thing ever and everything else sucks. I think it is Napoleonic syndrome. Weibs started it by attacking superman and then everyone else. I responded to him. It is not his fault that he bought an inferior quad and now feels that if he rips on someone else, it will make him feel better. I know that there is no way he could keep up with me on my 400ex (where I ride) but he could probably walk all over me in the conditions that he might ride in. I personally think that the Polaris quads are all right and do a great job for the circumstances they were designed for, but there is no way a Polaris can wheelie, jump, accelerate, or corner like a real sport quad. However, a Polaris can go in deeper snow and mud, pull a lawn mower, or carry dead wild animals on its racks.
