650 rincon vs. 500 ho sportsman
His first two posts, back to back and both had to be edited out. That must be some kind of ATVC record!
Yeah, so anyway...
The sportsman series is not built for speed. It never was, it still isnt. These bikes weigh a good 100 pounds or more than the typical big bore utility atv. The polaris sp line is made for towing/hauling, a relaxed trail ride, and a little mud.
The rincon on the other hand is a trail bike. Its soft suspsension and decent power make it at home on the twisty trails. It rides like a caddy, and has body roll like one too. Speed and acceleration are better than on the sp 500, but with an extra 150 cubes, it should be. The rincon is underpowered for its engine size, and the transmission leaves a lot to be desired.
Either machine would be a good addition to anyone's stable, and one shouldnt knock anyone else for having either of these machines.
