I have never cared for the polarises myself, But I will admit I have been beaten by a few. It's all too easy to get gobs of horsepower out of them, and with the automatic tranny it makes for a very effective drag machine. I had a freind with a 400l that could beat pretty highly modified 440 banshees. They have come a long way since machines like the cyclones were around.

They all suck. My uncles friend put $2000 into a 00 sportsman 500 in the first 10 months he's owned it because everything kept breaking. P.O.S. :!: :!:

The new preditor is going to kick ass. Their other quads are good at what they are made for.

Heres a question: Why are you asking 100 retarded questions with your little friends?
Polaris does not suck, No quad manufacturer in general "sucks" & Polaris is far from it. Theyve perfected the Automatic Quad world. I lvoe it when people talk about "belt slippage" on Polarises and then they say they are looking at the Yamaha & Kawasaki Automatics....haha.

I will never in my life buy a polaris. I believe in buying quality, and I think Polaris is far from it.

Let's take a little older ones. The 4x4's were chain driven. So when the chain and sprockets wear out, it's a lot of money, and a pain to replace. The batteries they use are junk, my uncle went through many batteries on his. The newer ones. 01 Trailblazer - rear brakes decided to just stop working, broke the swingarm, chain snapped and broke cases (so much for concentric drive). And these are just the things I know about.
They are easy to ride, and do have decent suspension, but are way too unreliable. Now for just putting around the yard, they are fine, but my riding lawnmower can do that.

Allright:
Chain Drive: Frotn Chain Drive has been obsolete from Polaris ATV's since 1998 (and yes trhey did have front & rear hsafts on the sportsmans before that)...Yes I agree that is one of the stupidest thins ever & it should have -always- been shaft drive.
Batteries: I dont know how a battery can be bad, a battery is a battery....but if others have experienced this (ive never heard of it) than maybe Polaris's charging system is to blame.
And this 01 Trailblazer........WHoever rode this must be jumping off cliffs or this thing had to be ridden harder than $2 street whore for the swingarm to snap. Chains are a common problem, and Polaris's concentric drive system is not flawless (but what is?) but it certainly is better than a regular non adjusting chain system.
