That is the old body style Polaris that won that race. Not an 850XP. Look at where the winch is located when he goes by. The rad is also low like in the old style machines.
 
The first video is a legit 850XP though. "


You are right, I got mixed up cause it is the same rider "Mike" he entered the 500 class with a '08 500 with some 26" Outlaws and won the class I beleive. Sry like I said it was from another poster.


And "your welcome" to all who posted thanks I appreciate it ( it takes a little pissin' around to get these video's up) but it's worth it. That is why I posted the video's they are a brand new machine and they have alot of people's interest, and there wasn't alot of real world video of them yet. I'll check I might have one more.. 



"That's because it only won twice and then was out LOL. I thought it did real well, too well. Where's the 1 thou when U need it LOL. "

NBM.....I have some deadly CanAm videos to post also why do you have to bad mouth these vids and the 850? I'm pretty sure I have 1 more video of him winning, that's a total of three wins out of a completely stock machine except the trail tires he had. I'd say that's fantastic especially for this PIT OF DEALTH.....lol. CanAm's definateley did good (some of them) but they were about 4 to 1 to every other manufaturer.

I wish my dealer had one stealth black 850!!

I can't wait to get my hands on one and see what can be done!  Hopefully, only a couple more weeks and we'll have them.

They would disqualify you if you were trying to ride the wall too much.....

From what I have gathered though is that the guy (Mike) is also a much better rider than most. It takes more than just a bad machine to make a good run. I'm sure any of the racers here could tell you that.

I found it impressive though what the 850 could do with a good rider. Like already stated, this is the first non-commercialized video we have seen of the 850.

Status: offline 		The engine sounds real good, but it looks like a bit of low end lag when he hits the throttle. Must be that "manageable power" everyone is talking about.

On the other hand, these bigger engines do need time to warm up and also some miles to break in good to get the maximum HP out of them. Also, it may be good for drags and mud racing, being it will keep the front end down more.

Status: offline 		if the zillas in the vid arent 26inch polaris did some false ground clearance advertising/ they cant be 28s if that atv has 12'' gc stock , I think it looks better than the other popos

just saying IN the first vid I think that the popo was running 26in zillas
