    Default 2012 800 rush pro-r

    Real close to giving in and getting a bigger sled a 2012 800 RUSH PRO-R. Any buddy have one? or heard anything bad ? Have a 2011 550 shift for $4800 if anybody is looking. Around 800 miles in great shape.

    That's a nice sled there but if ya want something bigger/ more snappier ya might want one of their bulletproof 600's it's alot more power than that 550 fanner. I myself spring ordered the 800 Swithcback Adventure but have my reserve's on the 800 motor that poo has. They say they got the bug's out of it, guess I'll give my opinion in a years or so... I absolutely love the ride and feel of my 600 shift 136 and have heard the rush suspension is even better.

    It's not about the miles, It's about the smiles

    No, Im not a Genius, but I did stay at the Freeman Hotel 40 nights!

    I am not brand loyal but consider myself to be someone that does their due diligence prior to purchasing. Having ridden the 800r it is not a sled for me. I did not feel as if it was balanced well for my liking. I am sure for some it is fine but i did not like it. That being said, I really want to try the Polaris Adventure. I have heard outstanding things about it. Also the 800 Rush has no storage, I am not sure if bags can be added.

    I have a 2012 600 Switchback Adventure w/ 1500 miles. After dialing in the front and rear suspension ,I was very happy . Its comfy ( ergos), good wind protection , suspension is capable of handling anything, engine perf was great oil consumpton was great fuel economy is at 12 mpg.The 136 x 1.3/8 Cobra track is great And storage up the wazoo!!!

    Yes you can add the same bags as the adventure comes standard with they simply snap & lock onto the existing rear bumper/tail section. but it is more money than just buying the adventure. Thosebags are the nuts & can be added or removed in about 2 minutes. If you spring ordered the adventure they come with the upgraded walker evans shocks all the way around, just like the Pro-R. There is some gr8 deals out there right now though with all they leftovers the dealers have from 2012's crappy winter, Badjuju just picked up his 800 pro-r for cheap.......

    Real cheap ; ) It's sittin' in my trailer.......gonna have to clean the drool off it a couple times before the snow falls! The Pro R chassis is an amazing ride. It's gonna take a while for you to get used to the ride, AND dial in the suspension to get it to where you want it. But once you do, it's the BEST ride out there. SkiDoo's X chassis is stiff like a Sno X sled, the Walker Evans are much more forgiving. You'll love the sled, and Polaris FINALLY hit the ball outta the park with the 800, stout runner.
    My sled is studded like a filthy prostitutes S&M work bag.
