Friggin' Polaris RZR costs more then my XL!!! o_O

(and has most of the deleted items missing from mine!) =p
thats why i was asking lol.
I got it last year with 20 miles on it as a guy had to get rid of it a few months after buying. Spent $19k and probably put another $6k in it.



I got my XL at what I thought was a decent price after going through Granger and $1,500 worth of incentives, but my Ranger was still more expensive than the RZR.

We do have another RZR as well... I've had this one for a few years. It's not as powerful, which the turbo is kinda ridiculous power for trails (E50 tuned), but it's still got plenty of get up and go to it.

I ran a draggy run with the turbo with the tires seen in the picture and I was pretty impressed. Mind you, it'll take more power, but I don't feel that it needs more.

It's amazing what some people pay for RZR's... The new Pro-R starts at like $40k. And too many people finance them and then don't use them.
thank you !

Yeah, ill never own those 4x4 thingies. I wont pay over 2 grand for em. Not worth it. At all. Imo.
The trips we've done have been worth it. And I've never lost money selling, so it's kinda like a refundable deposit.








You probably think my other hobby isn't worth. it. at .all. I lose way more money with this...

Hi Folks,

I call these Tortoise killers. Hunddreds of Tortoise in their burrows are cruched to death by these machines running over them without a thought as the poor tortoise is not seen. In Arizona, these machines are restricted to defined back roads and trails... Do you think the owner adhere to this? Not a chance when it is so much "fun" to chase across the desert in full cactus smashing mode.

Much worse in Kalifornia than here but still exists....Thankful that the Sonoran Desert Tortoise habitat extends into the foot hills where these machines cannot easily go. Used per law and responsibility they are likely fun but those folks are few and far rarer than the uncaring owners. So besides being inordinately noisy...I intensely dislike them.

I've seen one turtle... Stopped for it to cross.

I agree, many owners are much like coal rollers and they're annoying. I wouldn't mind mine being quieter, but there is not much exhaust length to work with.

I also stick to the roads and trails designated for such use... Which is basically all of the Black Hills.

As a cross-country skier (skate), I never realized the amount of effort required to groom the trails until I started seeing your pics on this forum. ?

Respect!
