I'm really impressed with the way it is made. This thing is just a Jeep in disguise. From a guy with two Jeeps, that is a high compliment.
I fell comfortable going up steeper inclines in it then I do setting on the SP 800. It goes on two wheels so quick, understand why all the netting etc. No, it didn't go on it's side but it was so close. It is not one to try cutting cookies with on grass at least. Very easy to steer and I think the throttle spring is not as light as the one the dealer received before this one that we test drove. One of the mechanics at the dealership told me they think it sets up higher then the one they have had for a few weeks. Don't know about that. Could just be tires, but he says when they were testing it, it looked higher off the ground. Very impressive machine. Very anxious to get it out in the woods and get time on it.
The dealer says they get 4 to 5 calls daily from all over the Northwest. People trying to find one to buy.

It's official. The wife came home and drove the RZR. After a while she says the throttle spring seemed stiffer then on the one we test drove. For her to notice, then it has to be the case and not just in my head.

That's cool. I should check with my dealer and see if they have an upgraded spring.
It's great that you finally got your's too. Waiting SUX!!!

I ordered mine today. Trying to get the wife more into it, but she does't like to drive much, plus doesn't care to ride behind me. Well with the RZR only 2" wider then my Outlaw, she will be beside me. It should be in near the end of July. These things are gone before they arrive and are very popular. Most dealers are asking $500-$1000 more then MSRP. But my dealer will give it to me at MSRP OTD. It looks like a blast to ride, so I'm sure I will like it. Allready started list of goodies.

Picked mine up last week and got out to ride yesterday. I was riding ungrommed trails so it got tight at times. I'm new to OHV but an old biker still looking for adventures. Now I just have to get out and find great places to ride. Any suggestions on watertight storage for cameras, gps etc?

Forming a "Long Range Financial Subcommittee" in MI.: Take two inexplicably expired term motorcycle reps. still serving on the board (one names yet another motorcycle rep) Add 1 full-size and but 1 atv rep. Arrogantly claim that the entire process should be finished in 4 conference calls with absolutely no public involvement or any meeting minutes recorded. Result? No complaint whatsoever from sheep-like atv clubs with literally tens of millions in play.

Well, Cap, I love it. Plan and simple. So does the wife. She has committed on how stable it is. So much fun. The only problem we have is lack of seat time.

So glad to hear that. What area or kind of area do you ride in. The wife and I will be down in the Solome (AZ) area this winter. I think this rig is going to be a kick in the pants for us there. We are retired, and I think (hope) we will get a lot of seat time.

We have ridden all kinds of Forest Service roads and trails for quads. From mostly flat, dusty to steep, twisted, rocky and narrow. If you expect rock get the rock guards for sure. Also get the 14" wheels and tires if ground clearance will be important. If you need to keep the 50" width, be careful on tires and wheels you select. I think the only 14" rims that work for that are the Polaris rims. We are very impressed with the ITP Terracross tires.
