That Kawi truly is a rocket on water!

 

For the info on the marketshare. All my info is national, not world wide.>>>>>>

Your source?

Did you not state that Polaris and A/C were neck in neck in snowmobile market share and that Yamaha had the watercraft marketshare?

Why did you state earlier that BRP has never been #1 in marketshare in either watercraft or snowmobiles? Where did you get THAT info. from? At one time Sea Doo had a 60% marketshare in watercraft, currently it's 45% with an overall slow down in personal watercraft industry wide, even Polaris stopped manufacturing PWC's.

National or global, doesn't matter, we are in a world economy now, Yamaha, Honda etc. are all sold worldwide.

Yeah, but how on earth do you stop it? LOL [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

 

I"M still waiting to see this tough Polaris I owned four of them and they were very weak when compared to the other ATVS. If you ride a lot like I do you have to have two one to fix and one to ride.I have had thee outtys and the first one has 10000mi and the only thing it has had worked on is the clutch worked if that were a Polaris it would have needed three new clutches eight belts two engine overhauls and all kinds of other parts.SO I would say one thing JENNY CRIAG is not is tough.

 

My god Im trying to soak this all in. I thought I had alot of ATVs for my age, 89 BigBear ,2000 450 Forman and 2001 SP500.

The Outty came out only in 2003 yet you had 3 of them and one has 10,000 miles on it? All 3 ATVs of mine over 12 years added together never had 10,000 miles.

You also owned 4 Polaris and were disgusted with them, yet you continued to keep on buying them? If I was unemployed and live in a National park I could not go through that many machines.LOL

I've been in this sport for about 2 1/2 almost 3 years and have owned 6 different ATV's and a dirtbike. I am normally a person who does NOT spend this kind of money but I've found this hobby to be quite addictive and I started on a Bearcrapper 250, within a month I was itching for something bigger, went to a 350, then 650 etc.....Tried a sport quad(DS) yet decided I preferred riding on utilities. My friends think I'm nutz cause seems every six months I was getting a different quads, they're probably right but I wanted to make sure I was totally satisfied......I had an Outlander 330 two years ago, brand new, we were riding and a bunch of guys lined up for some drag racing, good grief, I came in absolutely dead last every single time.....now I know the Outlander is no drag racer but that ego thing hit me so I went and got a DS650 to make sure that never happened again but I found the Outlander so dang comfortable on long rides I longed for it when we went riding up in the mountains. So I got a Rincon and sold the Outlander(probably a mistake BTW, should have kept it and never got the Rincon) the Rincon was an awsome deal and figured I couldnt' go wrong with Honda..the Rincon is a fine machine and will go anywhere and do anything but when the Outlander 800 was released I was quite smitten......Needless to say I had to have it.

 

YES the person who bought the 04 outty put the last 5500mi on it. Then I bought another 400 outty that was a two up and put 3500 mi on it.Then BRP came out with the 800 so I had to have that so I sold the 400 two up then when I raced my KFX 700 with the 800 outty two up the 700 lost it was gone to.Kind of miss it though it fun to ride and I had very few problems with it and had a lot of miles on it. Its not hard to do 5000mi a year thats only 100 miles a week and if your retierd and live in the west no problem I have got 4000 miles on my 800 outty and have had it 10 months.

 

I found for what I needed was the Polaris ATP/X2. Because it has a turf mode won't tear up the grass, has a dumping rear box with tail gate that can hold up to 450lbs. Now the new X2's come in 500 and 800 with IRS and 2 up. I couldn't find another brand that had these options. Thats my .02 cents

 

When I had Polaris's they had a real power advantage over the other ATVS until Kawi came out with the VEE TWIN the it was over for Polaris as far as I was considered you don't mined working on something if it fast but when its not you get ridded of it.

 

My friend has the SeaDoo 215HP supercharged watercraft... sometimes it feels like when you let off the petrol, it feels like there is a fin or something under the seadoo to slow it down.
