    That makes me feel a whole lot better. I thought the KTM 525 "510" was sopposed to be a great powerhouse. Did i make a mistake or did i strike gold?

    The KTM motors in the Polaris' are a good motor.
    The only problem with the "P"'s is that they have no resale value.
    Example: my daughters Race Honda sold for 13k. Her race "P" 6k. I could afford the race "P" tho. It's being picked up in Phoenix this week and comming east.
    I cannot wait either!!

    it was alright....you will be happy if you dont mind keeping up on maintenance. the guy has his over what feels like every weekend because of a new raddle or sound. after about 10 trips to the dunes he has made in the last 3ish months he already needs a new clutch, he was racing alot though, thats hard on anything.

    the quad is cheaply built but gets the job done, plus the engine is amazing

    Well I finally got it. In the process of breaking it in. I can tell this motor is going to be pretty fun. I cant wait to fully give it everything its got. I dont even think i got near half throttle on it. I think I made the right choice. Plenty of ground clearence, my trails are full of rocks and tree roots. Not a problem for this thing. Only thing I dont like is putting the seat back on and the exhaust is really resistive. The exhaust is going asap. Air intake is ridiculous also. All in all, I like it.
