they say 154 hp. with a 1inch track. cant wait to see it go and try it out. see how it is compared to my 08 rmk 700.. im sure it will be a big difference. just trying to find out if its carb or cfi since they are saying its a shift model. im guessing carbs. but would be nice to see a pic of he thing before it comes into the dealer. he got the only one comming in.. limited production from what im told.

I doubt they would carb that motor, i would say it's CFI and that thing should mop your 700 lol...nothing wrong with yours of course, but you're turning a lot more track. and down about ten hp?

Yeah, hopefully i get to try one out sometime soon, haven't ridden an IQ yet sadly...although the seats seem like @$$ killers from when i sat on the in the showroom, the revs have super comfy seats though.

actually the seat is pretty comfy.. nice for standing. buddy of mine has a mxz 600 ho and i sat it tonight and no thanx.. i dont like the way it sits. and that was right from getting on it. and i dont like how i cant tip it to turn without alot of force.

I rode an 07 summit and loved it, but also wider skis and i was riding in the mountains but it was wicked the engine just keeps pulling and pulling, the ski's don't like the ground too much lol. And the seat seemed really nice to me, i like the rider up feel cuz it's so easy to stand. The shape of the seat is also nice..i felt that the polaris seat is tooo narrow but thats just me

of course. to each their own i say. but yeah i was a little worried about the seat on the rmk but after riding on it for a while i actually find it nice. and its only narrow in the front. and the iq is a rider forward type of design. another thing i was a little worried about. comming off a 94 xlt sks. major different and handling wow. amazing. polaris did a awesome job with the iq platform.
