I think you will see a 600 pro....and a bigger then 800 pro as well(snowcheck only as well)....just a gut feeling...polaris is gonna wanna take advantage of the attention the pro has brought..........

I would LOVE to see another Tractor offered by Polaris.... the 800 has a nice top end and crisp throttle response, but it just doesn't have the bottom end stump-pulling torque of the long-stroke motor. Even if it is nothing more than BNGs, it will be good, the new 800 is certainly an impresive powerplant from the seat-time I have had:D

hahaha, no doubt!


I really doubt we will ever see another BB sled from Polaris, but one can hope I guess:face-icon-small-hap
personally..I would like to see a 700 super ho..in the 170 range in the pro chassis with a 3' 163..then you could really get the boys riled up...bet you could win some serious money the first few months of next winter....

Can`t really see a 900. there seems to be an engineering ceiling that peeks out around 850. any bigger and there is need for a counterbalanceshaft. adding weight and complexity. it would be great if there was a breakthrough. probably will be 600 similar to pro,etc.

im with you even ski doo dropped the 1000. 800 vs 1000 ski doo, there is so many more steps they have taken to balance that engine..

One of my buddies is a polaris engineer and said they probably wont have any major changes for 2012, but look out for 2013.

In all reality, that would make the most sense... Aside from possibly moving the 600 RMK into the Pro-chassis, Polaris would be money ahead to stay with the power plant and other parts they have going now since all indications are that it has so far proven to be pretty reliable.:face-icon-small-hap


Except for that flimsy rear bumper that breaks if you look at it wrong:face-icon-small-dis:face-icon-small-sho

I thought they needed help on the front bumper...? And how about 160+HP. Supposedly they make that off a carbed 600r bottem end with 800 jugs

I had a 06 900 166" and really liked that sled....... and now have a 2011 PRO 163"

It surprises me how similar the new engine is to the 900....... it viberates more than previous 800s and has a strong mid range torque.

I would love to see a similar weight 825-875cc engine with about 15 more HP than this years model.
