I'm just curious. Does anyone know or care to specultate how many SxS's Honda produces daily vs Polaris? The reason I ask is because whenever I visit the dealer here in town that sells/services both Honda and Polaris, They always have significantly more Polaris's, both new and used vs Honda. I would guess 8-10 Polaris's vs for every 1 Honda. I asked them if they were bias towards Polaris, and of course they said no.

They are bias because they get kickbacks and multiple unit incentives. Plus accessories are easier to sell. The service department sees the machine more often, higher mileage gets replaced much more frequently so the whole process can start over.

My local is a Honda/Kawi/Yamaha dealer and has had an extremely limited inventory, since Covid hit, and the Honda sxs and Kawi Mules are usually already sold when the few that do get shipped arrive. Polaris dealer in the next town over is flush with them, though.

A coworkers son inlaw works in Alabama for polaris as a assembly line worker. They are getting the parts and pieces better than some others to complete. That's from the horses mouth not speculation CP is right about all the kickback part and service dept. repairs as well. RZRs are not known for longevity.
