It's in..PRO RMK at 143 HP

Sigh, you Ski Doo freaks have this awkward handle on reality.

I can only imagine that a handful of the Ski Doo chimps have actually rode the new pro, which means that the general population of Ski Doo owners are narrow minded and relentless in believing the POS they own and finance at 19 Grand is actually worth its paper value.

I would take the new pro over that freeride joke any day of the week. Not only on average at any dealer will I save 2-3g on the initial price of the sled, I will feel more confident in Polaris beta engineering with the new pro, as opposed to Ski Doo finally catching up to the curve and recognizing that EFI was the way of the future.

Ski Doo is falling behind, Arctic Cat has flawed that new M8 (IT LOOKS LIKE A NITRO, DONT EVEN KID YOURSELF), and Yamaha still makes Heavy Lunkers and big expensive gutless 4 strokes to trench through your favourite hill.

Forget about modifiying and tweeking everything too! Nobody wants that anymore! People want turn key sleds that perform, sure it looks cool to your buddies in the garage when you rip apart your sled and you're doing upgrades, but the same situation on the hill is kind of frustrating when there waiting to ride. So all this stupid yammering about HP is DOA in my opinion, I like what I see with the new Pro, it seems like it works well in the heavy and is a decent climber with the HP the manufacturer graced it with. Similar theory is like comparing a big UNLIMITED LITRE AMERICAN V8 up against an engineered small litre V-6 that makes as much power, better MPG, better emissions (Don't even deny this either, we all see it coming), and better towing.

So comparing the new Pro to the new Doo is like comparing apples to oranges........... except in this case its more like comparing a fine steak dinner to dog crap.

IMO.

Sounds like your one to know? And does that mean your a Polaris chimp because you haven't rode the new PRO. Yet make comments for it and against it's competition?

This is coming from a guy who rides Polaris that hasn't been able to get their 800 right since they first introduced it? What other OEM has changed injectors, heads, cylinders, electronics, injectors again, pistons etc? Like Polaris has in the past 5 years? On a single model even. And I won't bring up the 900 Fiasco. Polaris can't bring themselves to charge full pop for a sled that they know will be back in the dealership half the season.(There's my dig)

Ski Doo is falling behind, Arctic Cat has flawed that new M8 (IT LOOKS LIKE A NITRO, DONT EVEN KID YOURSELF), and Yamaha still makes Heavy Lunkers and big expensive gutless 4 strokes to trench through your favourite hill.
New m8 looks like a Nytro? Don't kid ourselves? The Pro looks like a 30 year old Wedge. Who's falling behind? Old looks, low hp, FI that they are still trying to figure out, needle shocks cause their supplier(WE) can't make a decent air shock, etc etc.

Forget about modifiying and tweeking everything too! Nobody wants that anymore!
And to think Polaris has made their sled easily accessible for such events! Much moreso than the other 3 OEMs

So you haven't even ridden one?

So the Polaris is the American V8 that underperforms, bad of fuel, unreliable and polluting SOB? And it can't tow another sled home? I don't understand your example is what I'm saying.

So comparing the new Pro to the new Doo is like comparing apples to oranges........... except in this case its more like comparing a fine steak dinner to dog crap.
Here's an idea......RIDE THE SNOWMOBILES YOU ARE TRYING TO COMPARE(bash) and then voice your opinion. We don't care what you take from the advertising each OEM does. We can read just as well as you can.

If the PRO is a turn key sled, why is everyone who has one wanting to do more. Turbos, pipes and the norm.

I rode mine all year, BC pow every ride until last weekend, stock everything aside from bags, skid plate, crap like that. Same belt 650 miles, opened the panels twice to adjust belt deflection when it was newer. Entire season without opening the panels except to add oil, adjust belt deflection and clean clutches. After the first couple rides, dialed in suspension, bars, controls etc to fit me more and that's honestly it. Didn't need a riser (I'm 6'2"), boards clear out well for stockers, bars are trick, it's light, it floats on pow, it climbs and it handles great. If that's not turn key sled I don't know what is.

Of course people want to add stuff to it....it's a sled. Given the money, who wouldn't want a turbo kit, etc?? Is that even a serious statement?? Also, there are some turbo kits for Pro's that fit like a glove for a very reasonable price....so it is quite appealing for people (like me) who would never considered them when the kits were a lot more "home-brewed."

So you rode "ALL YEAR" and you only did 650 miles? You just got it broke in! We do almost that per month! Averaging 3000 miles a a year, we usually see problems start to pop up about mid season no matter what brand we're on. It should be interesting to see how these Pro's do next year when more guys get 2000-3000 miles on them. A stock Pro is a great ride for someone that does 600-700 miles a season.:clock:
