Down at the land, the doctors buddies were having a big 80th birthday bash for rich kings dad. (Flat tracker who raced for harley a number of years). My old neighbor is part of their motorcycle club (hare scramble club) so we ran into eachother on the beach and he came over that evening answering all my questions since that is next purchase.

Spent about 35-40 minutes taking it thru the trails, thru the mud, thru the river/lake/mud bogs, flat footing it on the lake perimeter road, jumping it. Granted his is the maxed out version from polaris and has about $3k of goodies added, but my god, it was like driving a 78 Cadillac Deville thru the woods. Absolutely zero, and I mean zero harsh/jarring thru my butt (been having back issues for a month so sensative already) I cannot state just how liquid smooth that thing was no matter if we’re were crawling up busted concrete former retaining wall stuff, rooted hill sides, whoop sections…it ate it up and cradled us like a baby.

The power steering was nice too. I wasn’t overly impressed with the 900 output, it got us thru the woods, but on the long straights it just seemed gutless until it got some steam built up and then you could feel the big bore start to pull, but down low I’m just used to more snap on my quad I guess.

Wife asked why I was getting one, and I explained best I could, but I told buddy, next time he comes down, let me know so I can take the wife for a ride around the lake to let her feel how awesome it is lol. Very expensive test ride, but was going to get one next anyhow so basically just a tease for now:)

Easy to see why everybody is dumping quads for sxs. If mine wasnt set up for exacting work purposes with custom made accessories, I’d have been trading today lol. But painted myself.in a corner with my atv for work duties, so stuck with it.
