Have 2 hunt; I wish I could take you up on your offer. I' ve always loved a good ride.

GordenGekko; I live in upstate NY, I live pretty much in a swamp, and I' ve never had a problem with the belt slipping, except one time. The one time the belt slipped is when I drove my polaris into a river that is over 10 foot deep. I wanted to see how well it floated. it floated just not high enough to keep running. I went home cleaned the carb, within 5-10 min. the thing was running again. Ran alittle choked up at first, but in about 5 min. it cleared up. The belt did slip for a couple of laps around the yard, then it was fine. I' ve always ran in wet conditions and not once had a problem, as long as the water doesn' t reach the seat, which is where the vent tube is for the belt.

Soarkrebel; Just when I thought you where a real ATV person you had to go and say something about SU-SUCKY[:' (]. Now lets be real almost any mag. or ATV comparison literature will say su sucky are the worst. They have more problems then a drunk hooker with aids.



Like I' ve said before a machine has to be what the PERSON wants, not what everyone else wants them to get. Polaris, Honda, Yamaha are probably the top choices (OF COARSE WITH POLARIS BEING #1, THE BEST, AWSOME). The best way for a person to figure what they want is to go to the dealer and ask questions, go for a test ride, ask friends if you can try there machine, etc...Most Polaris owners will let you take a test ride on there machines because we have nothing to hide, plus we know the machine' s can handle being treated rough. Those guys that ride those honda' s well some will let ya take a test ride, but most are too afraid to let someone else ride there machine because they know they' ll find out the truth. They' re afraid to admit they didn' t make a good choice and they want other people to be with them.
If I' m typing to fast for you Honda owners I can slow down and let ya catch up, you guys are used to that, just like trail ridding. If ya just want to go ridding then buy a honda, but if you want to ride with the big boys then ya best get a POLARIS.
