Hello,
I am looking at the 2009 700 H1 EFI. I will be using it for ice fishing, hunting, yard work and light trail riding. Does anybody in this forum own one? I was wondering how the handling, low end torque, suspension and build quality is?

The price is not that far from the new Polaris XP 850.

Any information would be great!

Thank you!

 

For what you have stated that you're going to use it for, get the Polaris. The 'Cat is a good bike(I have an 09 700), but the Polaris 850 has HUGE power for working. If I was buying a bike right now, I'd go for the Polaris 850. Just one opinion

 

Its hard to say, i havent seen a polaris 850 yet, but i know they are powerful machines. ive ridden the 800 though. Each machine will do what you want. It just depends on what YOU like in the two. For me the polaris was alot more comfy,but that was it. Out of the two i still prefered my cat 700. It just offered certain features that i liked. Id just recommend test riding both and choose the one you like and check out the features each one offers and go with what you want most in an atv.
