Hi All,

A new dealer has opened recently, so I am now adding an AC 450 to my list.

The good, bad, and ugly please??

ARCTIC CAT - 450

 

Id look into a 550 sportsman xp, will out ride and out perform all the above

 

Don't need anything above 500cc.

 

personally dont know anything about them yet. they are still new and i dont know anyone who has one. My friend has a 2006 400 and never has had a problem,i had a 202 500 with 4,500 miles on it and never had a problem on it that wasn't my fault. Broke 2 axles playing hard on large rocks with over size tires. The price of them is what gets me. I paid $6,890.00 out the door for my 700 in 2008. They are asking that for a 450??!! Id make sure you deal, a last year model will usually give you $1,000 back in your pocket right off the bat as they usually will drop the price to get it out for the new models.

 

Since you have determinded you do not need anything bigger I assume you will not be doing a lot of really hard riding. This thing should last you for years. Keep it maintained and it will give you reliable service for a long time. It helps too if you store it in the garage and not outside.
