There is a market for it. Until now it has been owned by Polaris.

That cage looks like it should really protect the rider/passenger..NOT!

Yeah that is the one bad thing about Cat. They need to get out of the lawnmower shops and into real stealerships.... am dealerships.....  

Have any of you ever bought a Cat from Bass Pro Shops? They have a Wildcat at the one outside of Knoxville.

  I hear ya but even Yamaha has good dealer support......

Looks like a contender for the 50"ers. Bet polaris retires the 800 dinosaur engine and comes out with something to get some attention back to their 50".

Bass pro here sells them, but thats all they do, they dont stock parts, repair or do warranty work, its just a place to buy one if you want it.

Some brands are just to slow and out dated to break

Yep.  I taught my kids to drive manual transmissions in VWs because they didn't have enough power to break things, squeal tires, etc.  

SAC and sense aren't necessarily the same... and sometimes are exact opposites, especially if alcohol is involved...

Some get there SAC enlarged by alcohol, others use Geritol
