After changing sparkplugs in my Twin Peaks, I really appreciate the openess of the Outlander. It was so much easier to check the sparkplugs in the 800. I also really like the ease of cleaning. It is little things like that, not so much which one is faster that really adds value to the machine. I'm sure there are things that are more difficult to repair on the Outy but I'm just really liking this machine more every day. I sure do give a big thumbs up to who ever designs there seats, both on the DS and the Outy. Every other machine (except mabye the Polaris' which I have never ridden) have rock hard or not even near as comfortable seats as the BRP's.

 

I think the Bombs, Polaris & Arctic Cats have nicer seats because of their sled background. Where Honda, Yammy etc have the more smaller dirtbike type seats. Probably because of their past bike designs.
