I agree, as I just bought a 400 Sp for my son and the wife has a 2001 500HO..Difference is very noticable!!
I got the EBS for FREE!! from my dealer on the SP 400! + a 200 rebate and 1st service Free


Nobody Perfect:
If I was going to recommend a dealer, (as I have bought from the high priced Tri-City)-I went to AFTON Wy to Robinson Motor (307) 885-3353. talk to Kara........ their set up Works in the high elevation that we ride[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
I bought my son his 400SP from them.
Pricing is excellant as this dealer wants the public business, and is willing to deal- Service will drop what they are doing to answer any questions that are of any concern...Now that's being head's UP!!!!

P/M me if you want further Information.

 

Hi
If you haven't found a dealer yet try steadmans in tooele they are well worth the drive they saved me about $800 on a sportsman 500 and they know there stuff.

 

Even the old Sp500 (non HO) was a lot more powerful than the 425 Magnum they used that motor in. Plus the Magnum was chain driven (more power to the ground).

 

I even like the 500 better than the 700 from what I've ridden of them.
