looks like a real severe test for that po po. how many attempts did it take to cross that "bridge" ?

Just glad I had the winch Rob!

congrats Clayboy,

congrats to all the new owners ! nice rides, let the modifying begin !

clay did you get one also?

CONGRATS CLAY !!!!

It did not hit me 'til I saw you in a silver S, just how much you look like ChrisC !!

And the twins agree !!

Bigg Bubba -- You gotta remember that they are comparing SxS's. The RzR S is quick for a SxS. Now put it up to my Can-am 800 and it's a puss. A 55hp SxS weighing 1100 lbs ain't gonna leave a 67hp Rotax powered ATV weighing 700 lbs.... For a SxS the Rzr S is definitely one of the best...

Does the RZR S have 55HP?

Yep, 09 silver.

The new RANGER RZR S delivers unmatched performance using an 800 H.O. EFI Polaris twin engine that churns out 55 HP and a 63 MPH top speed for the serious adrenaline junkie.

I really think 55hp is a little optomistic for the Polaris 760cc engine but that is the quote. I do know that same engine in an ATV feels like it has 1/2 the power of an 800cc Rotax...


Congrats Clayboy!! Looking forward to some good pics..

Well, for now the Polaris SxS kicks the hell out of the "unbelievable Cam-Am 800" SxS.

Clutching has alot to do with it. Believe it or not the RZR is almost just as fast as the 800 HO Sportsman, and it's only about 240 pounds heavier.

I totally believe that. I have ridden several Polaris 800 Sportsman and they feel like a Can-am 500 if even that. The new 850XP is a step up but is a tick slower than the Can-am 800 (I know -- I have raced several). The 850XP with Power Steering is very nice and a good overall package. The Rzr is definitely due for the 850 engine.

As for the Can-am SxS the wait is stupid. The instead brought out that girly 990cc 3 wheeled motorcycle that is barely selling...

Marty, there is night and day between the two

Gunny, I'll tell you the same thing I tell the Kirby Vacuum cleaner guy. I'm not that impressed. Sorry.

I understand but there is one flaw in your thinking.... i DID NOT BUY IT TO IMPRESS YOU OR ANYONE ELSE! i BOUGHT IT CAUSE IT IMPRESSED ME!

Gunny, I do believe that I was responding to a statement by you, to me that said there was a difference of "night and day" between the machines. So in fact you were trying to impress me with that fact. I never said i wasn't impressed by the machine at all. I simply stated that I was not that impressed to call it a "night and day" difference.

I never tried to impress you, I simply made a statement based on actual experience of owning both. I only care about what one person thinks when it comes to my choices. ME! You have a nice rhino, as rhinos go it looks as good or better than most but rhinos never impressed me, so i never wanted one. Not to say they dont do it for others, thats what makes the world go round.

Awesome machine Clay welcome to the future!!!

If I would of known that you all bought RZR-S I would of made a harder effort to make the AUg. 1 ride I got to Tenn. Aug. 2 for two weeks went to brimstone 8/8/09 with showtime and we put 85 miles till we got a flat
I'm hoping to see some of you guys climbing them steep hills on the next ride I'm taken mine out on the supercross track at budds creek this weekend we'll see how bad it is then!

I have been looking for Clay's pics and found them (finally). Nice lookin ride Clay. I am sure you will be pleased. Let's hope the extra width helps you keep all four wheels on the ground.........it sure did not do anything to keep trees out of my path.......
