Polaris RZR (Razor)

Now is this an ATV or what? My son-in-law Tony got his hands on one of the new Polaris RZR’s, and I think my grandson Quinn likes it! Polaris runs an add on t.v. showing this machine doing some incredible maneuvers over mountain trails. Both Tony and Quinn took me for a ride, and I must say I was impressed with the sheer power of this neat little two seater. It has a 70 mile an hour speedometer, and they both had it going 40 in their back yard, which pretty much scared the “pants” off me! I honestly could not imagine doing anywhere close to 70 with it! I guess thats why it comes with a roll bar and seat belts. From a dead start, you can almost bring the front end off the ground! It also has a special handle for the passenger to hang on too. The suspension works great, as it takes the bumps, holes, and rocks  like a true off the road vehicle. I don’t think it would take a whole lot to make this thing street legal.

Tony upgraded the tires and wheels, and still plans on putting a plow and a cover on it. The bad news is that this little “number” is not so little when it comes to the wallet. As it sits, you’ll pay around $12,000 dollars to get your thrills “off road!” I asked Tony where he was going to put his tree stand, and he said the RZR has a trailer hitch, and he would just haul his hunting gear in that. It does have a small trunk, but you can’t get a whole lot of equipment in it. I’m just glad when I get the “itch”, for a new Polaris, I can just go over to Tony’s, and zip around the yard a few times. Once the “feeling” passes I can breath a sigh of relief knowing I just saved some serious money, not to mention what my wife would of done to me!

    That is a cool little vehicle, but not 12,000 dollars cool. Good grief. If i’m paying that much for something it better haul the deer itself and drive me home!

    We liked our RZR unitl only after 150 hours of gentle riding the weld on the steering shaft broke and the steering went out! Then, Polaris sent the wrong part to the dealer twice: but it was labeled with the right part number: PRETTY SAD THAT THE CUSTOMER has to find the manufacturers quality issues. POLARIS customer service is horrible and I think that the plants processes is OUT OF CONTROL! BE CAREFUL your steering does not go out! Don’t expect any type of good service from POLARIS!
