Not one regret. I have had both Honda and Polaris ATVs and the Bomb 800 is light years ahead. My son has a Honda 400EX sport ATV that he has hopped up with jetting, pipe, etc and he could not touch the 800 Max in a drag race or top speed. I stopped accelerating at 65mph.....to fast for me yet. It climbs hills that stalled out my other ATV's and soaks up bumps more than any other big ATV. I choked on the price, but had to have a two seater to haul the wife...no regret.

You can take all the "shootouts" and put them in one bucket and you won't have beans.

My son just got the Outlander 800. What a powerhouse. We have just ridden it around the house but what a machine. It will wheelie with just a blib of the throttle. It is a ute with the manners of a sport quad. We have a trip planned in a couple of weeks so we will get to put through it's paces then, but so far I'm really impressed.

He will be exhausted by the time it gets here laying awake at night dreaming... Allready talking about Boondockers or Turbo and he hasn't been on the beast.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img] After reading a few of your old posts, I also am looking forward to seeing the bombusa. It really sounds like the ultimate dune quad for guys with the need for speed.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I rode one at my dealers the other day.

I could not believe how much power that thing has.

It was wheeling even with taller aftermarket tires on it.

It's got more ***** than my 703.
