Looking for a big quad 4X4 EFI
 
So what's the preference ?? I want independent rear suspension 600-800cc 4x4 auto shift, twin EFI, Liquid cooled, receiver hitch, EPS would be cool but not necessary...........I see some have belts ? is that a bad thing, most of the Honda's I see have a solid rear axle.
Experts chime in
thanks

Take a hard look at the Can-ams, they offer everything you are looking for and in the newer models appear to be much more reliable than the completion (Polaris).

I currently have a old school Polaris 500 Sportsman with a small lift, tires etc - it does the job but if I were to upgrade I would be switching brands!

Hands down, either a Polaris Scrambler 850 or 1000. If you want more of the utility type then get the sportsman 850,1000. Best ride and handling of any atv out there with a proven drive train. I have ridden them all and Polaris Scrambler is what sits in my garage.

800 motor were very good motors, not a lot of issues with them. They run the same rocker arms that a SBC does. That one seems expensive for a 12yr old machine with 2700 miles on it. You can buy a brand new 570 sportsman(same hp as the 800) for around 5500 out the door. You will have no problem with just about an wheeler launching a sea-doo. I launch my 25ft pontoon the weighs right around 3500 pounds on the trail with my full size Polaris ranger 900.

Looks to be well taken care of. Personally I would rather have a brand new 570 sportsman for another $1000 over the older 800

I agree its on the high side $$$ Im movin on, he wont budge on price, thanks for the input

Edit: whats the hp rating on the 800 vs 570 ?

So when comparing the older 800 to the new 570 there is roughly a 5-10hp advantage for the 800. 50hp vs 44hp

When comparing new 850 to the new 570 there is a much bigger difference ..I believe 70hp vs 44hp
