maybee this was a prototype machine cause its not for 2001. the 500 h.o has a 40mm carb NOT efi. efi would be nice but would cost more. im sure someone would have noticed it if it was real sence there are already some 2001 sp500ho out now.

later

It appears this machine does have a choke lever, which we all know is not needed for an EFI. Looks like a hoax to me!

Yes, that is the old choke lever. The new Sportsman 500 HO models have the pull choke.

I thought so, a hoax for sure then. What would the benefit of efi on a SP?
