How will the UTV industry RESPOND?? Factory Polaris RZR 4 XP900??

Well said Baja! As I said earlier, we in the sport market are the minority and are very lucky that the manufactures produce what they do. Remember that Polaris produces and sells more 50" RZR 800's than all their SxS's put togeather.

Well not more than all of their SxS's put together, but one of the top selling RZR's for sure. :)
 
popo did not design it for you kid to be next to it

How is it any different to have it 14" from my head as it is or 14" from a persons leg? I'd rather it be by my leg thinking about it. As is the passenger sits on a fuel tank. I have rolled my RZR twice and not a drop has leaked while on its side.
 
Being a UTV/ATV enthusiast, I love watching the industry unfold as it has been, especially this past year! It's fun to see how each OEM positions themselves, times their releases, keeps things silent until their reveal (or not so silent lol), etc.....it gives us all just a peek at what goes on behind the scenes to bring the consumers the machines they are asking for!

I think I can enjoy it more, however, since I have no urge to run out and buy anything - my SR1 is quite a bit ahead of the performance and power curve still, and it will probably be a while until an OEM releases anything that makes me jealous and envous enough to sell it and buy something new. Which is good, because I don't have the money to buy anything new anyway - lol!!

This is definitely a great time to be in this industry - and this is a recession! Imagine what things would be like if OEM's didn't have to be careful with their production dollars! :D

I definitely think Polaris will have a new release soon.....I have also heard the Can Am rumors, so I'm curious to see if they battle back with anything. The Wildcat looks like a ton of fun - and who would have expected Arctic Cat to drop something like that in our laps?? Believe it or not, I have even heard rumors of a sporty Honda model, but I'd really have to see that to believe it. I'm still holding out hope that Yamaha has been super busy in their silence, as I still feel they would have the strongest contender if they felt comfortable enough in their legal battles to get back into the arena! And what about KTM? I had heard some rumblings a while back that they were planning a side x side......but that was a while ago.

So....we'll see!! Def a great time to be a spectator to this industry's development and growth!
 
Everyone is focused on the high end of things. Don't forget that Polaris just came out with a 'value' priced RZR for less than $10,000...the RZR 570. And before you discount it, you should drive one. Joey was impressed and so was I. My guess is that it would smoke many other stock UTV's and even gives a RZR S a run in a straight line. Plus they easily fit into the back of a pick up, thus eliminating the need for a trailer, thus saving more money. I think it is important to come out with not only faster better suspended units, but also more affordable ones. Just saying that there is a seat for every butt.
Look at it from a street bike perspective...does everyone need a GSXR 1000? Heck no and the GSXR 600 out sells it 4:1. I have met very few people that can drive a RZR XP to it's potential just like very few people can ride a GSXR 1000 to it's potential. I went on a dune ride at Buttercup this past May and I was the only one in the group driving a RZR S. All of the rest of them were in XP 900's. I kept up with them fine and had a blast. My 2 pesos! :)

I agree with this statement. The last couple sentences are what matter the most! Having fun and making memories! :cool:
