| I've got an 05 Polaris Sportsman 500 with the engine brake feature in it does very well keeping you in control going down steep hills. EBT was standard on 05, but I think it was an option on 06-07s, and maybe standard again on the new ones. I like Polaris. Made in USA. Simple control layout. One of the most comfortable rides (IFS all around). Lots of aftermarket accessories, and repair parts are easily available when needed.
There are a couple of big fourwheeler rides (3-400 machines) on some private land near me every year and over half are Polaris. Honda and Yamaha have strong showings, and then there is a scattering of the rest. I don't think you'll go wrong with any of these three as long as the bike hasn't been abused.
If you're not looking for a speed demon, stay with the 500cc and under machines. Lighter weight means easier to unstuck by yourself when you find that grown over mudhole in the pasture. | |
