We just sat through the meeting kickoff and the announcement of the 2011 lineup.  But before we get to the lineup, let’s pause to talk about something that is on the mind of many Polaris enthusiasts; reliability.  No doubt Polaris has innovated even in the face of a powersports industry that got hammered by a 25% reduction in volume in 2009.  The 2010 Rush is a great example of Polaris being on the gas when others are struggling and coming out with “bold new graphics”.  But the 800 engine has been a concern.  Reliability is not where they want it to be and they are working like crazed dogs to correct it.  Bennet Morgan, COO even spewed some profanity to get the point across.  They aren’t satisfied and the 2010 issue will be corrected and the 2011 product will be ready with over 110,000 miles of testing.

The other really big news is the new 800 RMK.  Billed as the “lightest, strongest, most durable RMK” ever, the new RMK appears to be one sweet machine on paper.  41 lbs (431 lbs total) lighter than last year, it’s “flickability” makes it the go to mountain sled for 2010/2011.  According to Chris Burandt of Burandt Backcountry Adventrures who has been riding the sled since November, “the RMK Team took every single aspect of what a mountain sled should be and they made this – 40lbs lighter, 300% stiffer.  It’s a suspension guys dream.  It’s like one of the baddest mod sleds I’ve ever ridden and it’s stock.  It’s so cool.  It’s the lightest, fastest, most flickable sleds out there.”

Personally, I think the new Polaris lineup is sick.  While a lot of the snowmobile industry is trying to weather the recession storm, Polaris continues to be on the gas.

Below are some photos of the new sleds and some promo videos from the marketing department at Polaris.  Check them out and let us know what you think of the 2011 lineup in the comments section.

In October of 2009, BMW motorcycles will be sold and serviced from our Perry, Iowa location. The Perry location will serve as an interim location for BMW motorcycles. A new location in the Des Moines area is currently under development, and this new location will become the permanent home for BMW motorcycles. We currently project this new location to open in the second half of 2010.

We are very excited to bring such an outstanding brand to the Des Moines market – a market that hasn’t ever had a BMW motorcycle dealer. The Des Moines and central Iowa motorcycle community has proven to be one of enthusiasts with great passion for motorcycling and the freedom of the road. For these riders, BMW motorcycles can now be purchased locally and with the reassurance that Van Wall Powersports will support all of their service and support needs.

UPDATE: Showroom Photos

On the track or the street, there’s never been a supermoto like the awesome new HP2 Megamoto. The street version of the monster HP2 Enduro, the Megamoto is armed with tons of power in the form of a 113 horsepower Boxer motor that spits out 85 pounds-force foot of torque. Every extra detail has been stripped away to create a supermoto machine offering thrilling, out of this world excitement in every gear. With a dry weight of just 393 pounds, low center of gravity, inverted Marzocchi forks, Ohlins rear shock, and plenty of wheel travel in both front and rear suspensions, the HP2 Megamoto’s enjoys sharp, supremely responsive handling. An Akrpovic exhaust adds efficiency, while Brembo brakes assure maximum stopping power. On a supermoto machine with this much raw performance, one thing is for sure: those corners don’t stand a chance. Request more information.

With a staggering 130 horsepower, the HP2 Sport features the most powerful Boxer engine ever designed by BMW Motorrad. For the first time ever, double overhead camshafts are included in our famous opposed twin cylinder motor, kicking out even more revs. Making the HP2 Sport even more track-ready is new Quickshifter technology, which means faster gear changes without having to chop the throttle or use the clutch. Add a fully adjustable Ohlins sport front and rear suspension, Radial mounted Brembo Monobloc brakes, a lightweight carbon fiber aerodynamic fairing, not to mention forged racing wheels and tires and a MotoGP-inspired cockpit that computes lap times and other racing data, and the result is one of the most advanced sport bikes to ever scorch the tarmac. Request more information.

Among the forty-four standard features included on the dynamically modified K 1200 LT are a higher output engine, a modified gearbox, chrome package, a redesigned instrument panel and seats, a new paint finishes, and an electro-hydraulic center stand. Engineered for high-performance hauls over endless lengths of road, the K 1200 LT offers one of the smoothest, most comfortable rides imaginable. Request more information.

Gran Tourismo – or in the case of the BMW K 1300 GT quite simply one of the fastest movers around. It opens up a new era in the timing of long distances. Nonetheless: impressive though the average travel times may be on this machine, its performance is also fascinating at low speeds, for example after a hairpin bend. This is because at engine speeds you operate in more than 80 percent of the time on the road – i.e. the lower and middle ranges – this engine adds something you can feel instantly: 99 pounds force foot from 1,293 cubic centimeters. No ifs or buts. And 160 horsepower for the three-lane motorway. The fact that this in-line 4-cylinder is very low-key when it comes to fuel consumption and exhaust emissions makes fast travel even more pleasing. And it also demonstrates once again how modern engines ought to be built.

The success formula GT is the sum of many intelligent details: top ergonomics – both at front and rear, exemplary aerodynamics and weather protection, safety (ABS as standard, ASC as an option) which sets standards and a level of comfort which enables relaxed, supreme travel. Then there is a high-precision chassis with a low centre of gravity, as well as optional ESA II to adapt the chassis mode at the press of a button. So here’s a tip: Save yourself the effort of looking for an alternative. Get into gear right away.

The BMW K 1300 GT: Dynamic performance has never been more stylish. Request more information.

The interceptor. The athlete. Aerodynamic, avant-garde. Do you know of another sporty bike with this profile? A bike that develops such pulling power with 175 horsepower that it takes the heat out of many 200 horsepower bikes? But a bike you can still take out on a quick trip simply because it has great everyday suitability? At the same time a technological treat? The reasons: 103 pounds force foot (140 Newton meters) from 1,293 cubic centimeters – and at 8,250 revolutions per minute too. With a throaty sound from a cool, hexagonal tube. With catalytic converter and exhaust valve. And with fuel consumption and exhaust emission values which would suit many a machine with half the dynamic performance.

With this jet, the whole concept of speed moves into a new dimension. This in-line four-cylinder delivers its power in such a way that you can almost feel it when standing still. That’s because within the engine speed ranges in which you move more than 80 percent of the time – i.e. the lower and medium speed ranges – it delivers performance from the first yard. The real thing. And in terms of safety features, this machine is unique: ABS as standard with ASC and ESA optional. And the extras are amazing: Race through the gears with the automatic shift function, pure racing in view with the 2D dashboard.

The BMW K 1300 S: Supreme power with the sportiest of understatement. Why not try it out right away! Request more information.
