I do know that the sleds polaris demoed last season all had serial numbers on the tunnels, which means they came off the assembly line, so technically polaris did have production sleds for their demo rides at this time last season, but overall I agree with you, things do often change between now and the fall when sleds show up at the dealerships....The four manufacturers don't have any production built sleds this time of year. I think a few years ago Cat had forty hand built demo sleds. Good move it fooled you. If you don't want to put money down on a pig in a poke, wait.
Wait 'til next winter. That's what you should do. Myself I like what I'm seeing and hearing. I also trust Cat. Here's my money. I hope they sell out at least I'll have a nice ride.
I saw enough to convince me that this will be the best sled built. PERIOD.
