just glad i could be a help to ya and like Bubs said it is just as fast of the line as the 600 so with 500 dollars in mods it could be just as fast. and believe me it will have plenty of power to push snow around.

 

Some of the guys I ride with refuse to get the 600/700 for 2 reasons.

1. no recoil starter for backup. These guys do alot of 2-3day rides in the hi desert.

2. Less fuel economy. The 500 gets better gas milage.

I don't think you would loose anything with the 500 unless you are the type that needs(wants) the biggest baddest unit around!!!

I love my 400 but would have taken the 500 over it if it would have been an option

I never knew the twins didn't have a back-up starter.....That could mean trouble!! Besides, even if it had trouble pushing snow, the old man still has a snowblower. I went into a dealership friday after work (only day I get out before 5pm) and they had a bunch of SP's, and they let the camo's go OTD for $6500, and regular colored 500's for around $6200. Without looking at it, the guy figured he could sell my Tblazer 250 for around $2000-$2200, although I still owe more than that on it. But that's ok, I'd only hafta throw in an extra grand or so.....Not bad for a new HO!!!!

Thanks again, fellas!!
