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.

ya, more of the utility type, need to be able to launch and retrieve the Seadoo from shore, then just some trail riding,

what do ya think about this one, condition, hours, price

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
