You lucky dog, I have been looking at the 850XP. This will be the machine to watch have been reading all the reviews I can find on this machine and all are very positive. I will be anticipating your rider feed back from this machine. As I'm seriously looking at purchasing this unit for next summer.

Yes indeed would like to see some pic's of the clutch cooling air intake and the outlet for the exhaust air from the clutch. Looks like it may take water in. Seems to be lower then the old series.

Would like to see a pic of the engine air intake to

My Dealer has the new 850 and 550 XP's in stock as of this week, had a good look at one today.

They look great and feel great, the first thing I noticed when I mounted the ATV was how narrow the seat is. The machine feels like a bike, lots of room on the floor plate to shift you body position around.

Have a demo ride set up for next week will be taking a camera along hope to pull some covers off and have a good look at the hart of the beast. My first impression is WOW this thing looks a feels like a whole new concept for the industry Great first impression Polaris

Got a great link on the new web-page for the XP 09's have a look not even hooked up at there main page yet, heheheh you seen it here first
