2011 or 2012 XP

Ok guys ---

What is the difference in a 2011 vs. 2012 Polaris 900 XP other than the colors?

is this a trick question.....

Front end geometry to help it turn better. A few color differences. That's about it

Big Horn tires on the 2012 too! Steering is lighter with less bump steer on the 12.

shock adj. knobs

Oddly enoguh, I thing I found the answers to my question -- here is what I found on another forum --



Oddly, it is the newest RZR – the Ranger RZR XP 900 (15,999) – that received the biggest changes for 2012. Though it was just introduced in January, Polaris has given the RZR XP 900 a host of improvements. Suspension tuning is made simpler with the addition of compression adjustment knobs on the Fox 2.0 shocks for tool-less adjustment. Additionally, driveline noise has been reduced thanks to a new, rubber-isolated prop shaft. When we tested out the RZR XP 900 we noted that it took a lot of effort to steer and Polaris has addressed this by redesigning the front geometry (though we’d still like to test out a unit with power steering). As well, a new passenger grab bar features an anti-rattle bushing to help reduce noise.

I love that orange rzr xp. The thing is east coast cannot get it. The dealers are blocked out from ordering it. If you wanted one one would have to go out west to get it.

I think it would be fun to go on a long ride and bring one back to the east coast.

It looks really awesome

I would get a 2012 if they changed that much

That's odd TBONE. They had just got one in Jackson Tn two weeks ago. I didn't care for the flat look of the orange.

They did Muddy???

I went to World Class Monday. As I was sitting there I told them I wanted to see one of those real bad.

The owner Heather said she has tried to get one and she cant. She was blocked out on her screen from ordering them. She even showed me her order screen with Polaris. It was true. She was blacked out and could not order it. She told me it was a West coast only order for that machine. Maybe the dealer has to be a bigger size or something to be able to order one.

Heck I would drive to TN to get one. If I really wanted one though I am sure I could get Travis at Performance East to call his rep and get it done.

Here is the video.......I love this thing! I may get me one

This is a really good video of an up close shot of this machine.

I just called them and they sold the one they had yesterday. Didn't know for sure when but could find out when the next one would be in. You could call them. I talked to Ronnie at Bobs house of Honda. 731-668-4191.

They have an orange one in stock in Alabama, just on thier site, Champion Powersports

Ok thanks! I really like that machine. Those doors look really good on it too.

Here is a video of underneath it. I was looking at this video to see if I could see the changes on the front end.

This vid shows what her top speed is!

Tbone just got off the phone with a friend of mine that was at the spring ride. He just bought the orange madness one picks it up on saturday. He traded in a 11 RZR LE.

Cool deal. In Indiana?

If I add that orange one the regular rzr will have to be sold.

In Illinois actully just about a hour north of here

ooooh. Well either way. I think that orange machine is pretty sharp. The X Commander is still tough to beat. I love it to death!

Dunbar Polaris in wv has a orange xp was there yesterday getting my harnesses

I'm guess you have to be a larger volume dealer to get one.

Damewood said he had his up to 80 mph

that orange xp 900 is.... they look neat...
