My Girlfriends new machine.

[SomethingFishy*]

Well my girlfriend bought herself a new machine for a "birthday" present. I think it's pretty sweet looking. It's a 2008 Polaris Sportsman 800 EFI.

Here it is:

Very nice, now you need to take it out and get it dirty.

[Roofer]

Wow! Nice!!!

My wife is jealous because she saw that color at the fair and really wanted it!!

Congrats on the purchase!!

[Iambjm]

EEEk it would really go nice behind my car, I love it!!!

They also make it in a 500. She wanted the pearl white machine but they do not currently make the 800 in white.

I would have to say that the pictures don't do it justice, the paint has a better finish in person.

I agree. It is a metallic paint like on my brute. It looks very nice and holds up rather well. It will look better longer and not so dull looking like the molded colors.

That is a nice looking wheeler. Nice your girlfriend likes to ride so much she got her own.

Fishy,

you've been out-done.

Fishy,

you've been out-done.

Nah, I just ugraded to some new EPI springs, after Saturday hers won't look so shiny once her fancy paint job gets all scratched up. It does look better than her old 500 she traded in. I tried to get her to buy a camo one. She also test drove the new power steering grizzlys but didn't like them.

[Dave S]

Congrats on the new ride.

What didn't she like about the Grizz?

[Bjjams]

Nice rig. I hope the color holds up, it looks good.

Thats the same color as my truck isnt it called like a sunburst orange?

[jltimm]

Good question!

[Roofer]

I was told it was sunburst orange or sunset orange, can't remember. Mies had one at the fair and it was a 500. The guy said it was "limited", but with what happened with the Stealth, I don't know what limited means for Polaris.

I went to the Polaris web site to check it out and saw the MSRP and almost fainted. I guess we won't be getting a second one too soon.

MSRP is sky high. She paid just over 7k

Polaris calls it Nuclear Sunset

Congrats on the new ride.

What didn't she like about the Grizz?

There was alot of things she didn't like about it.

She said it was not as comfortable, the power steering felt intrusive at higher speeds, with the lesser wait she felt it bounced her around too much and she didn't care for the color choices as well except for the black/tribal L.E.

With the Sportsman she was able to keep all her accesories and not need to rebuy those, also with the grizz she would have needed to buy aftermarket tires right away. In the end the grizz would have ended up costing her over $2K more.

[jltimm]

She paid just over 7k

Was that with the trade or without?

[SomethingFishy*]

That was the floor price of the stock machine. The L.E. Grizzly was $7995. Both of these numbers were negotiated before any trades were discussed.

[jltimm]

Seems like a good price for a 08 800. Don't let her show you up now!

[Roofer]

Don't let her show you up now!

She already has.....she is much better lookin'!

[Roofer]
