While at first I thought the scrambler was downright fugly, I have to admit it has grown on me. I now have one in my backyard...not mine, but my buddy rick535. It is really a very nice machine. I have had two 500 scramblers in the past, and cannot say a bad thing against a Polaris. While the style is not for everyone, the performance is something to be reckoned with. Its a great riding machine............

 

gotta give it up to the popo fans....

they make great trolls.

 

one of these days some one is going to pull one of these scrambled things of a truck where I ride and ill have a camera and my gade and will see if half a bike length is true and I bet i'm not the only one weighting:th_smiliewavey:

 

Ooo maybe I struck a nerve sorry guys. But yall clearly are bashing what yall havent experienced. Im not trying to be biased keep in mind what yall are comparing and dont be so quick to flaunt ignorance after all tables have turned and some folks just cant handle it. Sour experiences have scarred some and its understandable but there new machine is quite awesome considering its engine size and capability vs the larger machines yall drive. Yes you may still win but since yall are so far ahead yall can use the extra time on your hands and go fix yall frames. P.S if yall need I got a mig welder you can borrow.

 

So...what yall's point? heh heh heh...(sorry, couldn't hep musef) yall unnerstand?

 

I know of 3 popos with frame issues, one is a buddy of mine and it broke the rear a-arm bracket off the frame (same as my popo when i had one) and the frame also was broken at 2 other spots. Polaris actually fixed the issue in the 2012 models, same deal man and they're still slower. Can am fixed the problem within a year and slapped a 7 year transferrable warranty. Buy a used 2010 popo and have the frame snap and call popo to fix it when it's out of warranty, get your your bank out! or fix it yourself with some braces like my friend did.
All makes have their issues, bottom line is can am is the fastest out of the box,, seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! braaaaaaaaaaaap!

 

Break out all your bbk's and clutch work plus cams and exhaust and I will fire ole Zeus up and destroy any popo. As a matter of fact I tell people that have one not to park behind me when I shut mine off cause I don't wanna be held liable for starting mine and sucking **** into my pipes AHHHH bein on top is better than bottom kids
#never close to beaten by popo#

 

Why on earth would anyone come to a different brands forum and waste their time......?

 

Trolling around is my guess
Oh and simply beins we r on top (FACT!)

 

I will say a friend of mine got the scrambler and he stays side-by-side with me.

 

All the BS'n aside, I saw one at my local Can Am/Polaris dealership and have to admit it is pretty awesome looking.
I know Can Am is the king of power...my 800 hauls ass. But I do have a slight bit of curiosity to how well the Sportsman's ride. The Scrammy actually reminds me of my old Outlaw a bit. And that quad was amazing!

 

Has anyone seen any actually dyno numbers from the 850 or 1000?
