I'm a Cat guy, but for Polaris I loved the blue and yellow XC600SP EDGE X model.

:p Nothing like a dash of Yamaha Blue and a splash of Skidoo Yellow on your Poo :cool:

BTW I like the 03 Black and Yellow X edition Edge :thumbsup:

One of my favorite graphic schemes was the 98 RMK :D

I think the sweetest looking of them all is the Pro XR. The Verticle Escape was nice too though. Honestly I am kinda partial to the old standard Indy chassis, Basic but still had some style to it, and they still look mean coming up on you in the rear veiw mirror. There were so many appearance mods you could do to them it was crazy. And the Fuji engine was a very good motor, with tons of potential. Anyhow, vote goes to the Pro X.

Anything capable of pulling hard enough to run triple digits and scaring the H##L out of you. Brutal power. There are/have been a few of them. Most easily identified by a major dose of sore wrists and shoulders after a few hours on them.....not to mention the huge grins worn for hours afterwards by their owners.

im very partial to the purple sleds of 97 espcally the ultra sp. even more so since i painted mine purple chrome, and had decals made of chrome, with a chrome windsheild. chrome vent screens... basically purple n chrome everything

I voted for the Fusion... the 'shock' factor must have worn off, because when I saw one 'for real' at the T.O. show, I actually thought it looked pretty good. The first glimpse of the Fusion last spring nearly made me gag... :p

I, like everybody else, am real curious to see how this new chassis works. Polaris was definitely in need of something new and different, they've definitely done that. :thumbsup:

I'm partial to the old wedge chassis cause i've had one for so long,but
I couldn't resist the blue and white 04 xc i bought,polaris should be blue or white,cat should be black,doo yellow,etc...............

On another note i was told the blue and white was a 1 year paint scheme only,anybody know any more about that?

im sick of polaris. cammon lets see a challenger to the fcat someday!

Octane
12-04-2005, 05:05 PM
I only get to choose one??? LOL...Polaris has made so many great sleds over the years, its a tough choice.
I voted for the Fusion. I like the rider select steering, the taller seat, a-arms and the Cleanfire injection. I think that the 600 HO is going to chance the perception of the Fusions chassis. The 600 is the kind of sled that last year's 900 should have been.
The Pro-X was arguable the best trailing arm sled ever made.
I currently own an '01 600 EDGE X, so I like the EDGE too.
Like I said, how can you pick just one???

redxcr440
12-04-2005, 08:07 PM
Pro x now, few year the 600 ho fusion.
Pro x is THE best trailing arm sled there ever was.

I "gots to axe" Have you been reading to much Dr. Seuss lately, or is it just a "medicine imbalance"? :crazy: Just kidding.

Edge baby, that's the best, although I have to say that the Fusion 600 Dragon may be the sled to have this winter. Oh yeah, the red and blue RMK/Fusion "racer colors" look a lot better than I thought they would to.

You need more choices.

As far as the fastest out of the box stock it was the '98 XC700 with the 220 cylinders.
As far as the best overall, and plush ride: 2003 Edge X 700 with M10. I've driven a LOT of Polaris sleds (I work for a dealer) these models will always stick in my mind as standouts. That '03 X would have been my "perfect Polaris" but I wish it had a bit more top end speed. M10 suspensions inherantly suck up some top end speed.

I'm only new to snowmobiling, so I haven't had a chance to experiment with too many Polaris snowmobiles, however the best looking in my mind is the Fusion; it looks like someone took time to incorporate the vents into the actual look of the machine along with the headlights, which are designed for use more than looks however looks amazingly different from the new "old" IQ look. The Fusion just looks like it's looking back at you some how, as if to say "come on, ride me" the rest look like racing machines, but they're waiting for your input with no input on their own. But you can't judge a machine simply by its looks, so I can't really say which machine is better, just that I like the bizzarre looks of the Fusion... which kind of looks like the new 2007 Arctic Cat for some reason... lol.

One sled that sticks in my head is the old black and red indy650.a real hotrod in her day.a time when polaris was THE sled to have.

SledHead
04-21-2006, 07:41 PM
The reason why i don't have the IQ is because this poll was made back in 04.5 i think so i didn't really know much about the new IQ 440.

I love the look of my 1997 XCF 440. I really like the 97-98 XC 700's and 600's. It's just something about the white hood and the factory decals.

I agree 100%. I'd love to have a 97 XC 600 with the triple. The most beautiful sled ever, and I've got tons of spare parts.

I love my polaris gettin older. Once i can responsibly afford a new one i will probably choose the top dog polaris sled. I feel guilty sending my money off to asian companies when i should support MN companies (polaris and Artic cat) Im a fan of the doo's and yamahas.(they have certain highlights for my riding style.) i just think polaris has the best support after the purchase for the long run of new sleds that caters to my riding styles in this area.

[attachmentid=31217]I think the black Edge X is the best looking sled Polaris has made.

I get a kick out of people like this. Buy an old sled for cheap, and when there's a problem decide you'll never buy the same brand again.
Too bad that after you own another 3 sleds or so you're have sworn off sleds altogether.

I've learned, time and time again, if it sounds too good to be true, it is. THere's no more dependable sled then a 500 Liquid Polaris.
