I have a 2003 polaris, and haven't had any problems with it. But it is early yet. After reading this forum i am getting a little bit worried about it. If i were to buy a new one it would be the new Bombardie (Howevery you spell it) 800. It is one sweet 4 wheeler, my friend has one and i will put money on it that it will out perform every ATV on the market. It is just awesome.
