Weighed my 2005 sportsman 500
I weighed my quad in my garage today with the help of the crewline atv lift. I got about 896# loaded with accessories, rear box, etc.
May 2005 issue of ATV Magazine says wet weight is 768#.
I weighed my accessories and added it to 768# and I come up to about the same weight I got in my garage today.
900# is heavy. I like the weight, despite what the mags say about it's disadvantages. I think the advantages in towing, ride quality, etc. outweigh any disadvantage of sportiness. If I want sportiness I can just ride another quad.

Realistically, if you need to man handle it to load it in a trailer or bed of a truck[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Then that is heavy[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]
