IMO the full monte is plum full, a nytro, come on, again IMO the fix is no bandaid they spent major bucks and are scared to death about pissing sleders off any more ( this is more than a guess from me), pick out a good dealer and snap it up. if you are still wary remember the guys that spent $350.00 for a pcIII had no troubles
Oh come on that wasn't necessary.

I've always respected your posts and opinions.

I'm not sure what your exact relationship with Polaris is, but you always seem to be in the "know". Working where I do and the relationships I have within the industry I often find myself knowing more than I care to. Which is why I am lead to think of this as more of a band aid fix. I do believe they are doing what needs to be done and the fix will produce a dependable end result.
Fitz came on a forum that was going to obviously be biased. Because last year I was blessed enough to ride every brand of sled I could give an honest unbiased opinion.
Those of you you who haven't ridden a Nytro and get the opportunity, take it! Fun factor is very high.

Unlike Polaris, Yamaha's advertised HP seems low. This motor has some serious grunt! You can't tell at all that it is a heavier sled. Well, probably when it's stuck.

I would assume it won't climb as well as I didn't get to do that, but I know one guy who took it to the top of a hill it wasn't supposed to go up. The chassis isn't quite as good as the IQ, but very close. Heck the motor will probably go 20,000 miles before a valve adjustment. It takes an act of God himself to get the Polaris to 2000.
I just feel Polaris has some homework to do yet. The pride and quality is not there. Like many American companies I feel they may be cutting too many corners in the final production of their products.
Do I like my D8? Heck I love it!

This sled can carve and boondock like no other. Perfect stand up riding position and great suspension. However, it has taken a lot of headache and personal time fixing and wrenching making it somewhat dependable. Even saying that, I have never had a sled that I fear will leave me stranded more than this one. Be sure to ride in a group! Which I don't always do.
Again, I just like to be honest as that is who I am. These are only my opinions. They are neither right nor wrong. Only an opinion.
Cheers
