2017 polaris ranger 500
By Randall (I am an Owner)Read MoreLove the new machine.. Rides smooth evrything is a little stiff but should break in and get easier.. Only down fall i thought the side by side would run a little faster than 15 mph.. Are they governed down or is that the max speed?? Which is fine with me but sometimes when im the only one on it i ... feel tge need to go fast lol
