I hear bigger engine's (850cc) and a 550cc, all new plastic, a-arms and lighter weight. Rzr with a 850 and a sport set-up. Outlaws getting a face lift with new plastic and a few other goodies. Next week at this time will be the time to know.:macho

I won't confirm or deny anything but i would not be surprised if they update those terrible plastics on the Outlaw. Those things crack so easily its not even funny.

I really like the 525 and if they pull through and update some of the minor little issues it will be a very solid ATV.

I hear you about the plastic. I hear plastic will be simular to the KTM.

Im hoping the look wont change because they have such a unique look that they should stick to. They just need to update the support brackets etc.

Some of the things I would like to see updated:


Fender Mounts
Air box Lid Design
Seat Latch
More room to access radiator cap
Stronger Metal for rear caliper mount, the aluminum is too soft and develops play
Switch to metric hardware and use more of the same size bolts

Ill put it like this....

If you liked the Polaris atv's before the 2009 models, you will be selling off your older models

If you did not like the polaris models, you probably will dislike them more as they just got better....

I just finished the article on the 09 rangers and razrs....but the atv line up, especially one particuliar model is......:devil:

I believe your wish will be true from what I heard.

Is anyone else having trouble with the radiator shroud? The fins are arranged vertically which does not do a very good job blocking the mud. I would like to see the guard fins arranged horizontally like the 450r.

When i was down in Hatfield McCoy i could not keep the mud out of the damn thing...

Rumor is a 850cc Weber twin engine putting out 70hp. This will be a 4x4 with a-arms and nice shocks. Heard to be a Renegade beater.:macho

i think that the 08 outlaw mxr 450s sit high, i think that ktm motor is the best part of those quads, they got some snort.
