agreed polaris has their machines 90% perfect but the lack of power in the trail machines and the weakness of the drive train are the main things that stop me from purchasing.
Yeah, fiftysomething HP in a 1000 lb machine is a bit lacking, especially after coming off a Renegade. Combine that with questionable reliability, a marginal 4x4 system with no engine braking and far more/tougher maintenance than necessary....it's a bit lacking. Still, at this instant, the only 50" game in town for a SxS.
I'd like to see a 50 inch version with the size/packaging of the RZR, a high strength space frame (not square tube tacked together)(Yamaha might have to show everyone how to build one), some thought put into basic maintenance and reliability, with a Rotax 1000, ViscoLoc QE and DPS. A good bit of aluminum in the suspension and a weight of ~850 lbs.
Hey, a guy can dream. Might as well throw in, price comparable to the 50" RZR (~$12k)
