I've never met johnny or you. But safe money based on rep and video states you would be crying like a prepubescent girl trying to follow him around the mountain.
Thanks for your insight.

does not the doo have a smaller gas and oil tank. The 850 runs out of fuel when ridden side x side with a etech 800 and most likely the polaris as well so add some extra fuel to your wet weight unless all you do is head to the cabin crack a beer and brag about your sled.

Well I didn't have time to read the thread but we know the 174 doo lays an embarrassing smackdown on the current Polaris and the new G4 destroys the current doo 174. I know because I've tested it. So I guess we have our answer lol. And once the G4 is released in 174 it will just be embarrassing. All good sleds but the new G4 is a destroyer plain and simple the torque and response from that motor you won't find anywhere else

We do agree with the highlighted part Maxwell, not so much the rest.

HAHA, your response is like laughing and poking fun at a fat dude who still weighs less than you doo! (maybe you should just not say anything) The Polaris 174 is Polaris's heaviest mountain sled and will only be rode by guys who do not care about weight more than traction.

Good god. The Polaris got destroyed last year. Plain and simple.. Anybody that said it didn't never got to see them side by side. SAME track length. And the G4 lays and embarrassing licking on the XM. And now what... The crazy new innovation Polaris came out with this year over last is going to be a game changer? Get with the facts... Everybody at the very least was willing to admit they were EVEN... And now the 850........ See ya later. I cant wait for everyone to hit the snow... The power that 850 is throwing down is completely unmatched and It will be time to find out who really is biased or not because I assure you... there will be no arguing over performance with the rubber hits the snow.

See a advantage for the G4, but doo needs a better skid, almost in disbelief watching it lifting the skis the way it does in early videos, 174inch track should of been a must with this power..

Poo will be light, with a big foot print, and hold skis down, in the deep it might give the G4 a chellange in the technical where doo guys are A wheelie monster..

850 should have twenty hp more and that will show forsure, but then have a turbo on the Poo and the G4 will be sucking hindtit forsure..

lots of new stuff with doo.. Motor, cooling system, skid, track, primary, pitch.. Could be a good year to hold off in case there is a few bugs to workout.. Poo seams to have most bugs worked out..

hey thats great. 6 years of customer guinea pigs and they've got er figured... and almost had something comparable to last years model skidoo...then G4..........CYA! i dont agree with you on the large footprint. its a 15" wide track. People that are serious about technical riding and deep snow abandoned that idea back in 2004. Chit even yamaha had that figured out and they haven't been able to figure out much!

I think 20 hp more may be an not correct but the g4 will defiantly be more powerful hp wise and a tourque monster. I think people downplay it's new clutching and weightloss vs the xm. Hopefully no first year gremlins show up.

There is an article on Snowest magazine from unbiased riders..... Seems they have a different story than Maxwell and T-team...

[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]"During our tests when climbing in steep terrain, the Polaris seems to do a much better job keeping its track in the snow while the Ski-Doo tends to pick up the skis a little more … and lift the front of the track. This results in losing traction on the steep part of the mountain, thus losing some ability to climb to its full potential. [/FONT]The Polaris definitely outclimbed the Ski-Doo.[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif] We’ll have to work a little on the Ski-Doo’s weight transfer to get more track in the snow."[/FONT]

[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]SO, now this amazing new skidoo will need a $2500 skid to keep up with the polaris?? LOL the skidoo loyal's are so funny.... all excited for 6.1 hp more than the 800. Those skidoo engineer's sure are amazing... they were able to achieve 6.1 hp. wow. truly amazing. maybe the polaris should have 50 more CC's.

Anyways, it will be an awesome year of sledding... I'm more interested in the how the sidewinder and kingcat perform. We will let the skidoo guys to drinking each others doolaid............
