Re: Who else buys these things?

Hey all,

Been a big snowmobile rider all my life and a loyal Polaris customer-snowmobiles and apparel. Now I'm starting to look into SxS's. Some help on who buys these?

I'm looking for a description of who you think are the typical buyers of SxS's. Could you break it down into Utility SxS's and Recreation SxS's? I'm looking for a demographic (i.e. age), geographic, lifestyle/interests/hobbies description.

The coolest people on earth (of all demographics) buy SideXsides  8) Sorry, that is the best I can do. I have met all kinds of people in this sport and they are a diverse bunch. One thing in common is they are all great people.

Re: Who else buys these things?

I have a Ranger XP. I hunt with it, I haul tools in it at the farm. I haul mulch or dirt in it. I hauled two old ladies in a parade on Memorial day. I haul, deer, turkey, groundhogs, raccoons and anything else I shoot in mine. I run through the woods and drink beer and shoot my guns in it. Sometimes all three at the same time! Yep, sorry dudes, I'm not politically correct.

Re: Who else buys these things?

Living in Alaska my Ranger 500 EFI has spent more time plowing snow than anything else, especially since we just broke the all-time snowfall record for the Anchorage area this past winter. I have also used it to grade gravel, cut back a dirt embankment, haul big flower pots and mulch, recover gravel swept up from my driveway, and general clean-up. Now that spring has sprung in the sub-Arctic I'm planning a few picnic and fishing runs soon.

Re: Who else buys these things?

Curious question, one that doesn't show up on forums much.  Probably the top five uses for these vehicles, in no particular order, are hunting, recreational riding in sand dunes, racing, mudding, and farming.  What has made them so popular in the last decade is people buy one, and unlike most other recreational toys, find new uses for them that they had never even considered before.  I spend a fair amount of time in a retirement community where the residents can drive golf carts on all the streets and UTVs are quickly replacing their much less durable carts.  Do plenty of research and test drives before you buy one, but there's enough to choose from out there that you will find one that you'll be happy with.
