If Yamaha didnt come out with the Nytro I would prob be looking in to the 600rr,but the Nytro is a 4 stroke and a bug bump sled.
one of my buddy bought a 700 dragon a couple months ago,he blew it up last weekend,not sure what happened but he was not impressed,he's been a polaris rider all his life,last year he bought a used vector,he loves it but he still wanted a 2 stroke ,maybe this will change is mind for good

Only sled they have worth having is the 600RR.. Too bad it only has a 9GAL gas tank and no speedo or odometer..

Doubt it would be b/t Polaris and Cat as I heard both have financial problems. Generally merging two problematic companies only creates more problems. I would be more likely to believe something with the Japanese (Honda or Kawa) that need to establish a dealer network quickly. Tom Tiller ran them into the ground by milking an old product line too long before investing in the future (i.e. R&D). Started way back in 2002 and has been a downhill slide ever since.

IMO, there sleds ride nice, it's their motor/drivetrain that has been totally out to lunch. I have yet to see a new Polaris for years that has impressed me with their performance compared to brand X.
Pol may not have been raking in the cash with sleds - but it is still a very healthy company overall.

Not so sure about that. Look at their stock price compared to what it was in 2002. Also last few quarters have been very bad. The only thing that is keeping them afloat now is ATV's and that market is getting very competitive right now with several manufactures competing in the market. Victory isn't that big a business and watercraft flopped with losses. Let's just say if I was a stockholder I would be a little concerned about the future.
LMAO In 02 it was around $30 - now it is almost $50
And they got a cool new toy! The RZR

Maybe Honda will buy the Polaris snowmobile division and put some serious effort into developing newer and more exciting models. Seems like Polaris just doesn't care anymore, and all of their faithful followers just keep waiting and hoping for something worthwhile!

But they only waited just so long, then they tried to trade in their Polaris and Polaris wouldn't even take it..... So they sell it out right and GO BUY YAMAHA !!!! and discover 4 STROKES are fun....

Hope this one is better designed than the 900 POS! If they had any faith in it they would launch it in full production. This one is probably thrown together like the last one. We'll see!
