New machines, hot off the press

[lawny]

What's everyone think of the news releases Polaris and Arctic Cat just came out with? The RZR with a new 900 power house with a whopping 88 hp's, I'd like to see that engine in a Polaris built mud slinging quad, that would really get my blood pumping! Or Arctic Cat's new entry machine in the sport-4x4 market, a 450 crossover. Not really news, it's just a Kymco in Arctic Cat clothing. Dissapointed they didn't hook up a bigger rubber band to the driveshaft on this one.

I think the biggest story is the new rearend suspension on the RZR 900. It is a 3 point trailing arm setup. Similar to what the trophy trucks use. Except the trucks use 4 point.

side by sides are no longer legal in Oregon, even if they are under 50 inches wide. [not including the beach]. they are considered farm equipment!!! wow

speaking of rubber bands, have you read anything about that 900?

AC shame on you: putting a US name on a Korean unit.

maybe I should have bought up a bunch of old Pinto and L20B Datsun engines- sounds like that may be the next step eh? hahaha

No SxS's in Oregon??? What's next, mandatory training wheels on dirt bikes? Actually it doesn't suprise me, just another step in thier diabolical plan to exterminate us from the face of the earth....free country my as* ! As for your question, no I haven't read very much about the 900 yet, just stumbled across the press release. The major magazines should be coming out with some articles in the next couple months, I would imagine. By the way, I had a good laugh when I read your comments about Cat's approach.

I didn't know about that one, good to see thier keeping up on the ride quality, to match the hp's. Looks like Can Am's wild card has been trumped allready.

That new RAZR is the badass, I would actually consider buying one of those, if I could afford one.
