  • Broken Frame
    By Brian Gosnell (I am an Owner) on Nov 24, 2016

    I have a Sportsman 90 . My son is 10 years old. He rides it on our 8 acres of land. The frame broke on the machine, He is not rough on it. I am very disappointed on the Polaris ,I don't think this should have happened . I would not recommend it to anyone.
