So Polaris set the bar pretty low, belt drive, a bazillion grease zerks and spontaneous combustion of the whole damn SxS. Honda comes along with an all gear transmission that doesn't need trail side replacement- should we say money grubbing honda ruined the sport making it too easy to go ride?
I'm not disputing the end result, wilderness closures and increasingly draconian big government rules, but I would question the cause and effect here. I'm thinking it's global warming that is causing the bad result.
