well my choice would be a scrambler 500 but heres some things to think about,scrambler has a backup starter FWD Neutral Reverse, and the 450 just has electric start but has Park also the 450 will do about 53 mph and the scrambler will do about 62, the wolverine would be a little better at flying through nimble trails being smaller with less wheelbase, the scrambler has a weird "attack position" riding position with nice wheelbase and long travel suspension, wolverines braking is said to be better then the scramblers, the yami has a limited slip front end with push button engagement, the scrambler has a toggle switch engagement of proprietary 4WD systems that use an "engage when needed" design, also i think the wolverine has a small storage compartment under seat while the scrambler doesnt , if your a bigger person you will most likely want the scrambler more

get the wolverine for sure at that price. Much more comfortable ride you can go faster on the trails with it, and polaris have no resale value at all
