Yamaha by FAR...you put a good pipe on that and Jet it and you will have one bad bike, the polaris is nice but it is heavier than a brick wall...so definately go with the Yamaha

Yep, exactly what he said. There is no comparison. Polaris is not in the offroad bike market and Yamaha has spent 50 years perfecting it. The Polaris will be an over weight slow whale compared to the YZF.

I'd go Yamaha, never really liked Polaris. One thing though, I don't think the Yammi has reverse. CMIIR.

It has too much forward power to need a reverse.

I would really suggest Can Am if you want a suggestion I really really like my Can Am outlander I have no problems with mine and i ride it like i stole it. I had a Yamaha Grizzly before my can am and it was a good wheeler and was real smooth and had lots of power for a 500 i just wanted to step up to something that was faster and had alot more power and with a 800 i never get bored i stay entertained all day. You prolly dont want something that big but thats my recommendation. Also I would look at Artic Cat they have some good wheelers, but yeah if you have narrowed it down to Polaris and Yamaha I would definalty take a Yamaha they are good wheelers for what you are gonna use it for.

Can Am's are fine if you want a heavy POS. Friend of mines sun is a professional rider and they just went to Can Am's and I havent heard him say 1 positive thing about them. He even said he would rather pay for his than ride a free Can Am.
