I bought a 2011 850 touring brand new. Loved that quad. It was a tank. I went everywhere with it and never got stuck. I had it for about 10 years and never had one problem with it.
I bought the 2022 model, new, 3 years ago this month. I only have 18hrs and 198 miles on it. I just installed ITP Blackwater Evolution tires on it 2 days ago. I don't have much use on it but I can tell you this, the fuel pump died when I reached 5hrs. This happened 1 month after the 3 month warranty expired! The dealer chaged me about $850 to replace the fuel pump and $150 to repair a puncture in the stock rear CST tire that happened at the same time (nail). I later found out a new tire online was only $120. Go figure! I installed the premium Polaris winch, a Titan basket up front, and a Tesseract box on the back, from Russia. I think I have close to $20,000 in it now. I suppose I should go ride it. I haven't even washed it yet because it hasn't gotten dirty yet. I always store it in a climate/humidity controlled building. The new ITP tires are 28x9 in the front, and 28x11 in the back. No wheel spacers and no lift kit, no rubbing.
I bought a 2014 touring 850 used back in 2018 for 6k Its literally still the same bike in todays standards. Still have it today and it's been a great bike. 8000 miles. Now it's lifted on 32s with highlighter kit. It is snorkeled.
I went for the can am 850 max last week. I didn’t much care for the plastics or styling of the Polaris and the shifter hit my knee. The ergonomics of the Polaris didn’t work for me but it seems like a decent machine.
Sweet! I would have to agree that the design is a bit long in the tooth and has some flaws (pain in the ass to clean). But so far I'm really enjoying it. I'm only 5ft8, and I feel really comfortable on it. I was close to buying the 700 max.
Thanks, I'm excited. You're right about the price. It is a lot. That's why I went the used route. If you're patient, you can find good deals. Skip the dealer fees and taxes.
I looked at one a few months back, but it would have been over $10k. I didn't want to spend that much. So when I saw this Sportsman for $8,500, I jumped on it. Plus, I believe they have a stop ride recall out for the Cforce, or at least they did.

i bought my 850 brand new, once the warrenty was over, i basically bought it again in repairs.
@@shaker650 l had that same problem with my outlander
I always wished Polaris would have updated the touring to the newer style 850/1000 bodywork! Anyways, congrats on the new ride! Cheers

Nice machine, this is the one I wanted but the price was just to much. I ended up on a CForce 600 Touring. Im sure your gonna really enjoy the 850.

Is the passenger seat detachable?
Yes. My walk-around video goes over it if you're interested.
Did you consider getting the new cfmoto 800 or 1000

Why did you get rid of the cforce
Just wanted to experience something different and needed the money to go towards the 850.
I'll give you 5,000 for it
one piece of garbage to another LMAO
Ok kid.
@@RideAlongOutdoorsCh.What do you ride?
