Klick answered it pretty well but I'll add this. It's not Polaris I don't like, it's their 4-wheelers. They stink. I've had several, and they both left me stranded. All the polaris' I ir my family have had needed what is call major repair and the ALL had electrical issues. They may be better now but I won't know because they're too expensive to get burned on again.
Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, and can am are a better product. The only maintenance I've done to my 2000 foreman is oil and filters. The Yamaha grizzly is going to be my next wheeler this fall.
Snowmobiles and motorcycles are a different story. They're pretty bad ass.
