Welcome to the forums.

What do you mean by "leftover"?

Out of the 3, I'd go with the 09 Sportsman, but a lot of that would depend on what condition they are all in.

By leftover I mean brand new. Just left over from the previous years inventory.

Not much difference in the prices, so I'd still go with the 09.

I'd be inclined to go with the 09 also. They bumped the power up a bit if I remember right. If the Suzuki has power steering that might be a great find but I think they only came out with it in 09.

If you are interested in the 07/08 "new Left overs", just make sure you get a big enough discount to make up for the "used" value. The reason is because if it is stolen your insurance company does not care about it's "condition", but will ask the age and give you the used book value.

That's why if the price differential is not very much, then pay the extra and get the newest one.

What does "Limited Edition" mean with the 07 800 over the 09 800? If one has nicer wheels or a winch that spreads the value differance even more.

750 Single cyclinder KQ are the cheapest price big bores up here not the most exspensive.

Limited Edition just meant that it had the fancy rims on it and rack extenders.

The 07 is a better deal! should have more than the 09 and cheaper.

Additional features on the limited edition model include:

•Stealth Black paint
•Cast aluminum rims

•Engine braking system (EBS) with active descent control (ADC) make sure it has ADC
•Rear work lights
•Rear rack extender
•Polaris 2,500 lb. winch
dual exhaust
radial tires
