Found this link. First time I saw a price for the new 850. $10,000 quad. These things are getting expensive.

by the way, I feel dirty posting in this forum

I'll say the same thing I always said about the Bomb...power is expensive.

And they're all greedy money sucking pigs...

A friend told me that I couldn't take it with me where I am going so I might as well spend it. He says I probably still have the first nickle from that first job and he is right. Starting to have that mid-life crisis and maybe the new Popo needs to find a place in my garage, but I have will pwoer and will hold off for now.

I Agree ATVer...if you want power..U will pay for it.......

Look into my eyes Flyer....you're getting sleepy, you're eye lids are getting heavy, When you awake you'll have a terrible urge to run and buy the first Polaris 850 in your area. You'll insist all the Hoppers test ride this marvel.


Let us know when you order yours Captain...
Glad you got your current baby back on the trails!

as the old saying goes, u get what you pay for and polaris sure didn't skimp on the features of this machine

The link shows the EPS model which is what Polaris said the price would cost. The $10,000 model looks like a special edition model.

Not to nit pick, but $9,699 is msrp.

I have to admit I find it funny that when the CanAm was released at about the same MSRP....I can't count the number of Polaris owners that were spouting off about the high price. Now that it's Polaris...eh...no big deal, no comments. Brand loyalty is alive and well.

I would at least like to have enough to get there.

well, i can't say i'm not complaining, cause its still too high, but with alot of features

i think the can-am cost is mostly that rotax motor, but not sure, maybe cause they're made mostly in mexico now

Yeah, the Peso isn't holding up real well aginst the dollar lately.

I was trying to be sarcastic, as a Dealer I am interested in what the market will do. If at first this model will only sell for MSRP or will Polaris dealers, used to chopping their price to "compete", chop the price.

With the RZRs when we were getting one a month we actually charged msrp plus set up, Much like the surrounding dealers, (We have never done this Nor do we plan to keep doing that) but now that we are sitting on 8 RZRs we have adjusted our pricing accordingly. However another local dealer we heard is still charging MSRP and set up.
As of right now I have my first two 850 w/eps sold at list.

When are you expecting the EPS models to arive. I am getting told NOV/DEC for mine.

I don't care what brand you like these things are catching up with snowmobiles quick fast and in a hurry. My pocket book might not hold out much longer. (I'll just have to get a bigger one)

I paid $9300 for my 800 Night Camo special Ed. last October. Yes, gettin' quite expensive compared to what you can get in a Jeep.
I almost bought a 1942 CJ2 Ford-Willy's before buying my last quad. I could have bought it for $3800 and put another $6500 into it and get a rig damn near the size of a Razor, but with a registration and license plate so the damn US Forest Service can't kick me out of the Foerst like they are doing.
I love the ATV's so I got another one instead of the Jeep. I am going to try and register my ATV in a state that allows ATV's to be registered and ride it on California. I just don't get how having a license plate makes the ATV safer. I'm referring to the damn USFS Route Desigantion Program. Sorry, just venting and getting off topic.

I'm seriously considering trading/selling my '08 800HO and getting the first '09 550 Popo in my neighborhood.

An 800 down to a 550? Are you sure Whiplash? Not many of us can be happy going down in cc's....at least not here in the mountains. good luck!

i agree with ATVer, going down to the 550 would be a big change, but if you don't need the HP, the 550 would probably be much better on fuel

I, personally, think the power is wasted with the type of riding we do. A good friend has a 500 SP and he does everything just as well as out big bores. The only thing missing is top end. I really don't think I'd miss it much.
