It looks like a sweet chassis. But the main question is if the Engine will hold up. I want to ride it though!

New chassis+new motor?= gernade with pin pulled! It is to bad that Polaris has such a well earned reputation for having the consumer work out it problems for them on first year introductions! It may look good but it will take a year or longer for them to get it right.Don't get me wrong I am not bashing Polaris. I ride one,however I am done being part of there R&D!!!!!
Unless whatever it is that they wind up doing to the motor results in torque numbers equal to the 900, I'm not really all that interested. haha
Interesting to see then dropping some more weight tho, I wonder how the total package will perform.....
been told by someone who has had it both in the shop and on the snow..160+ hp on a engine with new fuel system, exhaust system, cylinders, and other things including new motor mnt setup new chaincase system, new suspension all the way around..new rush style bulkhead and plastic(its not rush though)less then 427 pds....motor lower in the chassis..supposed to out handle what we have now by a bunch...we will see..
I won't believe Polaris did anything to the engine untill i see it and find out how it holds up. Otherwise, its a cool design, Nice looking sled, I like it.

Those WE's are much better than the WE airs. They are the needles... very nice shock if set up properly.
Has anyone got a good look at a Rush? Is the bulkhead the same except for the construction? Guess what I am wondering is if the plastic could go on a IQ bulkhead?
Haha, I know there are a lot of people out there that have had good luck with the 800CFI in their Dragons....It is just hilirious how many finally talk about it when it is time to get rid of them and go for the 2011 Pro RMK!!

Ditto, holding out for a big block. Id buy an M1000 before an 800 RMK. It is nice to see the chassis updated though

Well since I am one of the two guys that have complimented the performance of my 800cfi in this thread so far, Ill tell you that I have no intentions of getting rid of my 2010. Why would I get rid of one of the best performing NA/stock bore sleds Ive ever seen run? Ill be buying the 2011 and putting it in the stable beside its older bro. Figured id explain it since you found it so funny. cheers

Here is the "original" thread in the IQ forum.....

not a bad idea to have started a thread for the 900 guys to post ourr reactions in... after all, we are claimed to all be half nuts for still riding our POS's ... haha

I really like the looks of it! Im hoping they come out with a 144x1.5 track for it tho! Id like to get one for the woman so it can be my back up! Then i can still keep the 9!

Is that a drilled out tunnel? Looks like it will open up like the Rev and XP's (hood). That really sucks.
