Thanks to everyones comments. I bot the Polaris SP500HO in new Break-Up. First ride yesterday.
Let me compare the bike to my old Rubicon.

Looks: bigger and more aggressive

Engine: revs higher, due to PVT engagement, much more power. Rear tires break loose effortlessly.

Transmission: honda was a little smoother

Engine braking: polaris is better. cut the throttle and it slows and stops quicker and doesn't seem to roll back very easily.

Ride: WAY BETTER!!! Very smooth. Front end seems a little soft but I'd rather it be soft than stiff. Seat is very comfy. Love the IRS.

Handling: Very quick when moving, takes a little getting used to after a non handling machine. When crawling, it will manuever in and out of tight trails with ease. The new tires grip very well and will spin bike around trees with no contact to the fender flares. Very nice.

Also, like the onboard diagnostics, true 4wd, selectable hi/low beams with backlighting and more.

Make no mistake, the Hondas are built tank tuff and are workhorses, but my interest in dual purpose made me get the shining North Star. Will report after break in period.

 

Let us know. I helped a guy home the other day after his IRS rear end went to pieces!!
