I understand the dark side

[mjn]

Our son in law just bought a new machine.
2020 RZR 1000 turbo.
186HP.
I drove it.
Holy sheeeeat!!!!

okay.. the best street bike I’ve ever owned is the Hayabusa in my shop, so I’m a HP junkie anyway..
Polaris’s may break. They may be unreliable.
But this sucker is nothing short of unreal.

30 foot burnie on dry pavement, followed by a rocket ride to **edit 73 mph edit**(not 83) where I had to back out cause I was running out of room..



I love my Pioneer. It does exactly what I bought it for, and does it well.
His new turbo is a kick in the backside!!

They are nice and fast, my buddy has a 19' turbo S. The thing looks bada** (back seat is kid only friendly) besides the facts that they break a lot, it is fast as heck. But where we live/ride its very hard to let it loose. By the time you get up to speed its very likely you'll be infront of a tree or in a mud hole. Other regions with open areas with dunes and such I understand. But maybe a Talon 4, Rzrs aren't cheap by any means either.

But yes! They are FAAAASSSSTTTT!! 😲

To each his own.

Yeah, I drove a rzr 900xp a few years ago. It was fast, but surely not nearly as fast as a turbo. Even the 900 is just too much for what I do. I really didn't care for the twitchy handling. I had to put it in 4wd to keep it between the ditches on a dirt road! I have a couple friends with new Generals. Those are a really great, comfortable machine. But yeah, not as tough and reliable as a honda. Even the General owners will tell you that.

If i had that turbo, guaranteed i'd have a few beers and ruin a belt doing burnouts every weekend because i'm dumb like that.

I test drove a General before deciding, yes that sucker had some power! My needs decided on getting the 700/4 .

 

[gullyjumper]

I guess speed is ok in the sand dunes or wide open field but on the trails you can only go so fast without endangering your self or others on the trail. Hope he enjoye's it . I'll stay with my honda 1000 ,

I like knowing I’ll get back to camp, it looks killer though.

My neighbor had one just like it. Very fast and he knew it the jack hole! He was under it fuc£ing with it every other day and ordering parts. I just smiled as I passed him while it sat there as he cussed while working on it 😁
It was his second one. The first one was a 2 seater and a Chit show of problems. The second one was a 4 seater and a fuc£ show that time! Lmao he sold it and hasn’t bought anything else in 2 years

I used to have a Polaris it wasn't a belt eater. But it was a axle eater along with little pissy issues. It was fairly expensive to keep going . The transmission was the last straw. I fixed it sold it. Bought my 700 because of its dependability . I love that thing . O regrets. If i ever feel i need a bigger machine it would be a KRX.

Excess HP mean excess breakage and maintenance. I don't have to worry about breaking axels on my P500, lol.

 

[JimmyA]

If I need a sporty ride, I would get a Talon!

 

[mjn]

He looked at the Talon really hard.. in the end, he decided he didn’t want a “first year” machine. I have to say I can’t blame him for that.
We do have a big area of dunes here where he and his buddies have been riding MX bikes at for years. The dunes are the only place to utilize all the HP this machine puts out.
A good buddy of both of ours owns a speed shop here, and makes turbo kits for the 1000. His is a 17 yr model, right now all he has is a tune in it, which bumps the HP to 200. He rips it at the dunes on a regular basis, both here and in the coast..
He’s never broken.
No blown belts either. He says it’s the guys the blatantly abuse them that end up breaking stuff all the time.

like I said before.. my Honda does exactly what I need. No need to change.

i have no regrets getting my p1k and will never part with it.i use the dump box more than i thought i would and i knew i'd need it.i can't use turbo power where i ride,i'd be dead in a day,that's why i want the krx.and i will have one.something for work,something for play.i ride solo so reliability is key for me.
