ME!

After reading as much as I could on here about different ATV's, I decided to go with a blue 2005 Polaris Sportsman 500HO!

Thanks to everyone on here for their input! I feel this was a solid decision now!

I ended up getting the Warn 2500lb winch also - after taxes and the winch I ended up paying a few bucks over MSRP[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Wasn't too bad of a deal considering taxes were a considerable chunk (5% here in VA).

Now I just have to find time to ride it!

 

Hey MWfromVA. Congrats on the new quad [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I am sure you'll enjoy it as much as we enjoy ours!!
Have a great St Patties Day

congrats, I know it's hard to hold on as long as possible but man if the talk is true and polaris does put out a 500EFI for 06 your gonna be upset. LOL

 

Maybe a little, but honestly, I don't really think I'll ride much when it's very cold, and if I do, I have a garage to warm her up in [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] The other advantage of course is the power, and since this is my first ATV, I think what I have is plenty.

I thought about the possible EFI in '06 but I'm happy I got one now instead of waiting.

 

You'll be extremely happy with your choice. One thing that the carb model would have over the EFI....you can modify it much easier if you want to play with carb, exhaust, air intake, cam, etc.

Congrats on the machine and have fun riding, great choice....

Hey MWfromVA. I had the same thoughts. LOL, then I got a blade.. I was suprised what I could do with the quad.... Even though I didn't buy it for plowing.
