In about a week we'll know if a 500HO EFI is in the offering for model year 2005. If its a real deal, I would buy that one hands down!

 

Hard to pass on the extra cc's, however, reliability is still an issue with the big daddy and it lacks a pull start. I myself have an 04.5 sp600 and love it. I am optomistic about the battery never failing on me and the motor's relatively short history. The frame geometery is slightly different on the 600/700 and towing capacity is higher if that makes a difference. Most important though is the release of the 2005's in only a few days, why rush and miss out on something even better than the 500 or 700![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
