With all the new models Polaris has rolled out the past few years with incredible hp numbers and upgraded suspension, is the RZR4, or more specifically the 800 platform kind of a dinosaur? I bought my RGE in early 2012 just ahead of the 900 XP4 roll out. Probably bought too quick, but it has been a reliable machine for me. Put about 1500 trouble free miles on it with no issues. This past year I hardly rode it at all. Made one trip to Little Sahara and that’s it. Most of my buddies have upgraded to 1000’s so I just feel like I’m being left behind literally.

I guess my question to the the RZR4 owners is do you still have "love" for your ride or are you wishing to upgrade? I just feel like in a few years the 800 platform won’t have much appeal or value and I was wondering if I ought to just sell it now and look into the new 900 4 or something like that. However, I know that 3-4 years from now we’ll have an even "better" model roll out so I guess it’s just a vicious cycle!

It’s just crazy to think my 800 has around 60 hp and there are models out now with over twice that stock! Just kind of bummed out thinking about a spring trip to the dunes and getting blown away by the new 1000 turbo, lol.

Just curious if there are still some diehard 800 guys and if so, some reasons why. If I rode trails I probably wouldn’t be so bummed, but when I ride it’s mainly at the dunes and the 800 is just getting a little long in the tooth.
