8k might seem like a lot until you have to put a handle pole set up and billet steering set up and a pipe and a multi-vein pump and air filters on to your SXR.

Now , if they can just get the Octane to turn they will be doing great.

That is why $8K hurts so much. If it handled like the SX-R or hell even the SJ $8K would not hurt so bad. However, This is just from the feedback I've got on the Octane. I have not been on one and nobody has brough one to any Region 3 race yet... To bad Polaris couldn't let us have one for the summer to take to all the races and rec events for demo rides. I would be more than happy to manage that for Polaris :D I bet they don't sell many in the Northwest because nobody has one let alone ridden one.

24/7 Carbon SJ Pole Pad $160
Sealed Bearing Steering SXR $250ish
UMI Throttle + Bars $100ish
Right there we are $3238
How are the stock intake and ride plates on both these boats?

Which would be a better recreational ride with that setup?

Go spend that $3238 and install it in a SX-R and I bet the SX-R will smoke the Octane. The Octane's were not winning at Havasu. Newport was on a Randy special Octane and still wanted his Superjet, last year I think.
