Hello all,
I am thinking about getting an SP800 in the next couple of weeks. I know I can get a better deal on a left over 2005 model and I wanted to know if there were any major design flaws since it was the 800s first productions year.

Also, I am in Knoxville, TN. does anyone know of any dealers in the Southeast that have great deals on the 800s? Im willing to drive to try and save money.

also, one more question: is the 800 worth $1200 more than the 700?

Thanks in advance,
Eddie

 

I am also looking for a Sport 800. I live in Illinois and same as the above does any one know any good places to get one? Please E-mail me if you can at Chargers41D@SbcGlobal.Net.

Thanks alot.

 

Hey Rednels,

I live close to you in Maryville TN, maybe some day we can hook up and go to Oak Ridge to ride.
As far as a dealer try ritchie power sports an Athens TN just down 75 past the Sweetwater exit.
They have some good deals.

 

I was going to suggest Richie Powersports as well. I haven't bought anything there, but I did talk with them and they seem reliable.

Here is their website: Richie Powersports

 

How about Carl F. Statz and Son in the Madison, WI area or Quams in the Stoughton area?

 

Chattanooga in TN usually has the best deals nationwide.

Don't go to Ritchie power sports in Athens thats where I got mine and they have terrible service. I will never buy there again. Try the dealer in Chattanooga I hear good things about them.

 

Thanks for all of the feedback guys, anyone know of any reasons to stay away from the 2005 models?

 

Besides the Sportsman 500 EFI for the only reason that it is a new system that no one knows anything about? No ot really

 

i have a used sportsman 800 for sale up at Waynes Farm and Equipment in La Grange Kentucky for 6500, its in excellent shape and wasnt ran hard, 530 miles, anndddd 36 hours. im trying to sell it to get a Predator 500
