The new Sportsmans are here

[Pappy]

I have had one of each, the 2009 550 and the 850 for a few weeks now. Im all done alot of the static shots so we can begin riding them......and they are calling for some snow tomorrow:devil:

The 550 Browning Edition. Im not super pumped on the gun scabbard but it is better then trying to have the rifle slung over your shoulder. I wanna find a hole so I can test out the winch as well!

The 850 is pretty sporty!

I posted a pic of them in a christmas thread...but no one gave me any love:p

[ProspectorJim]

do they handle better than the old ones? On all the sportsmans I've ridden it would take a really hard pull to turn the wheels at slower speeds.

[Pappy]

Oh heck yeah! The 2009's are 99% new in design!

70hp stock for the 850...they made no bones about it, the Can Am was the machine they wanted to beat and they did not stop until it could beat it!

At work we call them POO-laris although the power steering is awesome.

I'll be honest, I love the Polaris quads. If I were to buy a brand-new utility, it would either be a Sportsman or a Grizzly.

Id buy one of these, but I hated the old design. I had to purchase 2 quads for my boss years back(way prior to me being on the internet) I bought of the recomendations of the magazines and had 2 of the old 325 Polaris's. They drove me nuts, and I will admit it was mainly from the poor maintence they recieved. By the time I got to them they were always beat hard and I had to fix them. The new 4x4's are so far ahead of the older ones and that goes for most manufactures.
