New 850 in the stable
Well i finally got over the fear of so much money and pulled the trigger. got a new 850XP with EPS yesterday. Was only able to put about 30mins or so of riding on it, but damn this thing is scary. The EPS takes a little to get used to but i really like it. the power is ridiculous, i cant imagine having more.
my buddy rode it in a paved lot and just gassing it, it was lifting the front tires off the ground. Both he and my uncle about sh*t a solid gold brick riding it. they both use to have 800's.
now just have to save for the winch, cover, and some better tires. its an amazing step coming from an 05 700 carb, to an 08 800ho, to the 10 850xp.
luckily the fiance didnt fight me to hard on this purchse
the dealer was offering it at $9244 but i got him down just a little, mainly because this is the third atv in 4yrs from him.
now the pics:

Congrats,good looking ride! Yeah going from the old 800HO to the 850XP is a big change,and not just powerwise..I've said the XPs are in another class many times but someone saying it on a forum really can't prepare you for how much difference there is. You just have to ride one.
