2011 rzr xp 900 limited edition

Hello guys and gals I am new to wvsxsriders I want to say what a great site you have. I just got my new rzr 900 xp limited ed sat all I can say if you thinking of getting one you need to get one the handeling and power is awsome if it holds up like prior rzr this will be a great bike for a long time I am sure glad I did not get a commander x if your sport riding you cant go wrong with the xp 900 if you gonna work you may need a commander.

T-BONE i can't believe he said that about the canned ham

At least he didnt say Smoked Canned Ham!!!

I think we had 2 of those on Saturday!!

Hopefully after this week I will get some pics or a vid posted. And i do have a buddy getting what you call a canned ham lol i told him he needs to get his deposit back and get a RZR what a bike

Sounds like another Polaris hugger! Hopefully that rzr will be able to pass a dealership and not break down too often!

heck I even seen a stewed ham also !

2 stewed hams refund

Riiiight! Can't make everyone happy! I told my buddy to cancel his xp deposit and get a commander!

another cooker HU ya want have to worry about getting cold anyway oh why did i get a stewing ham

Sounds like I kinda stired the pot sorry I am sure the can am is a great bike for farm work hauling wood maybe even just picking up the mail. But if you want to have a great sport bike ride I belive you must go with the RZR Just saying

Not everyone is perfect! I thought the XP made a nice fancy yard cart to carry flowers!

Commander is where it's at!

see T-BONE

you have to watch T-BONE he ant all there up stairs

ok you know him better than me

for some odd reason that stewing canned ham has done brain damage cam-am is still looking to try and find out what happened so it can find a solution to the problem hope they find out soon

I drove both of them now and I am still think the can am is better.

Hi there RZRDUST: I've been thinking about getting a second SXS and have been reading reviews of both the RZR XP 900 and the Commander 1000. The XP 900 looks awesome, but I have two concerns that maybe you could shed some light on. All of the XP 900 test rides I've seen on videos or read about were based on rides out west on fairly wide trails, and most reviews mention that it takes some effort to steer at low mph's. Does the width of the vehicle pose a problem on some West Virginia trails and is it difficult to maneuver the XP 900 around hairpin turns, etc., when you are going very slow? Many thanks for your comments on this!

I hope this helps you with your choice is sxs. I looked at a can am 1000x and the 900 xp both are great bikes I belive you just need to decide if want to work or play if you want to work better go can am if you want to play and have alot of fungotta go with the 900xp. I have 150 miles on mine and i can say its never gave me a problem being to wide. The only time its kinda hard to steer is when your moving like less than 5mph maybe not even that. but with its power just goose the gas and the ass of the bike comes around. I love the bike and dont regret in anyway of getting it. But there is a weak point the axles if you jump it alot and stay in the gas when you land you will bend axles I have not had this problem but I know a few that have outside that its great. If you have anymore ? feel free to ask.

Thanks RZRDUST! I appreciate the reply and the info. I have enough work machines already - I'm interested in play! Glad to hear that the width hasn't been an issue. Have fun!!

Glad that helped and you will have a blast on the rzr 900

You guys know that the best accessory for the RZR is the Extended Service Contract....................

My Rhino will smoke an XP to 30mph........

From what I seen Saturday...your RHINY-RO better be pretty dang quick to outrun an XP...bottom end...mid range... and top speed. I was really impressed with the XP on the ride.I
got behind one for part of the ride and it did awsome.

Tell me about it! A guy had an xp on the spring ride and it died after the first day. The front gear locked up and had to ride a can am.

And it overheated today,thought they were both going to walk. lol

I heard the first accessory any XP owner adds to their machine should be a fire extinguisher :) Oh and welcome to the forum!

I am new to the Forum, but not all that new to SXS's. I bought a 2009 Teryx Sport in 2009 and it was the most fun-for-the-buck purchase I've ever made. I'd probably say the same thing now if I'd bought the 50" RZR, or a Rhino, or anything else because SXS's are just plain fun. At the time, the Commander 1000's weren't around and neither were the XP 900's. Now I'm looking to keep the Teryx and get a second SXS so that my whole family can ride together (there's four of us; two people in each vehicle) without being limited to going only to trails where a second SXS can be readily rented. So now I have to decide what that second SXS will be.

I discovered the existence of the the Commander 1000 first, and was initially convinced THAT would be my next machine. Soon thereafter, however, I discovered the existence of the XP 900, and now I'm leaning towards it. Why (I ask, rhetorically)? I have enough "utility" vehicles (I mean like a farm tractor and a dumping trailer, for crying out loud, when I need that much "utility") and I am attracted to the fact that Polaris is eschewing any pretense that the XP 900 has any utility - they've seemingly made an out-and-out off-road sports car with the XP 900. I've watched the Can Am-produced videos comparing the Commander to the XP, and the Polaris-produced videos comparing the XP to the Commander. IMHO, so far in this propaganda war Polaris is making the stronger case to a potential buyer who cares a lot about sport and not a wit about utility. However, I haven't purchased either one yet, so I have no axe to grind or dog in the fight, and I am open to (in fact, I am actively soliciting) reasoned* arguments as to why one is better for me than the other.

I will further research the reported problems with the XP, and if I conclude it has too many yet-to-be-worked-out bugs I'll take it off my short list - it's way too expensive if I'm just buying heartache (a commodity which, in my experience, can typically be acquired gratis). That having been said: my question to the esteemed and experienced members of this Forum: UNDER THE PREMISE THAT THE XP DOES NOT BREAK STRAIGHT AWAY, CATCH ON FIRE, OR IMMEDIATELY TRANSPORT ME TO AN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE (I get the strong feeling that some members of the forum will have a hard time with this starting premise, but I ask you to please temporarily suspend disbelief and address the question as posed), why is the Commander a better choice than the XP 900 for a guy interested in sport and not "utility"?

* Truly, no offense intended, because I know it was posted in a mixture of fun and well-earned pride in one's ride, but the fact that someone spent more money souping up an older SXS than either of these new expensive machines costs and now it will take out either up to 30 mph (what happens after 30 mph? No, wait, on second thought, forget I asked) does NOT qualify as a reasoned argument.
