Default AC 650 or SP 700?

I know this has been hashed over before,but which atv is better?I am getting tired of wrenching my x400 and was looking at a big bore four stroke.Saw the new AC yesterday and was impressed.Ground clearance and towing roughly the same.Which 4x4 system is better?My x400 constantly needed attention to hubs and wiring.Just wanting something different and didnt want to waste money .Thanks.

Both are good machines and they are so close in quality and ability that it is all personal preference. The new EFI 700 is pretty snappy. You need to ride both and make your own decision. Too many on the forums are overly brand loyal.

I have had two Sportsmans and they are incedible off road and have an outstanding ride. I would buy another.

I say go with the sp700 but I own one.You wont find a better work horse but I do like the shape of the front end on the AC.And on the sp700 youll find alot more made in America parts..

I mean it depends more of what you want. Power go with the EFI Sportsman (i got sprayed today from 20 feet behind a man from a dead stop) If you want metal racks go with the ac it still has lobs of power and everythang. One thing I dont like on the polaris is that the radiator is right in the front and if a stick goes through that your in trouble.
