Last minute plans heading up to the UP with a Dynamix and possible a 9R for the weekend. I'm actually more interested in the Dynamix.

Polaris is stil out of touch with their 9R pricing. They dropped the 850 from the XCR line up and only offer the 650 and 9R. Doesn't make much sense having a 850 and 900 but to charge $2600 more for 50cc on the 9R ( based on Assault pricing). Doesn't make sense to the consumer. If I remember right the 850 was $1200 than the 800. Even comparing a 650 to the 850 there's only $800 difference. Can understand why dealers are sitting with 9R sleds.

I've had one since 2021 and for me I like it. Even with the XCR's they were an option that I ordered. My dealer said it definitely helps with resale and he's added to some of his floor plan sleds which has helped insales. I ride with a number Ski-Doo guys and their guages lose the map function when they loose cell coverage so I always end up leading when we ride in new areas. Believe the new Ski-Doo now work off satellite coverage. Also like the message/text feature to stay in touch with home or meeting up with other friends that my be up riding. It's an option I wouldn't be without but no it's not needed.

Both my current sleds are XCR 850's. What was nice is last year the 650's and 850's both had 4 year warranties. Normally put on 4000 miles per year so I look at that for resale. The 2025 850 is the 7th 850 I've had and haven't had any issues with any of them including the 2019 when they didn't locate the PTO bearing. Looks like warranty is 3 years across the board but my dealer has to confirm that. Would have stayed with an XCR 850 but with that not being available pricing out a XCR 9R. The XCR also now comes standard with the 7S.

Dealer heard they bumped up the warranty on the 9R to 3 years. He didn't have the full details of the dealer packages and may have them later tonight or tomorrow. Really surprised on the release they never talked about the VR1 or Dynamix at all. Those both still have the 850 as an option

Or a fazing out of the 850 ??

Said he already has my mix ready. I think it's a setup. I'm telling myself if it's BNG and no gold ticket I'm not buying anything. I've failed at that before.

So who's going to watch the Polaris reveal. Just BNG or something new? My dealer is having an after hours get together for repeat customers so we're going there.

LoL MC would still be with us 🤣

Most clubs in Wisconsin are 501c3 also

No

They all lie

Zelensky would have left with another pile of money.
