I haven't bought a atv in many many years. I was initially looking at the hawkeye for it size and features, but was disappointed w/ the rack size and some other things. I then started looking at the sportsman 450. My dealer quoted a price of $5400.00. He then asked if I minded a new 05 model. I said of course not. So i've end up w/ a Sportsman 700 efi paying $5999.00 I felt it was decent deal, is it, or is it not?

Thanks
Kenny

 

If it is a new 05 you got a good deal. You are going to like it.

 

Idahosportsman, it is a new 05 model. the odometer indicates 0 miles and it comes w/ the original warrenty.

 

Kenny 8906,

Congrats! You will love your 700. The EFI is great. You got a pretty good deal. What color is your new beastie?

 

The body color is black, w/ red side panels.

 

I have the 04 700 efi and I love it. Now I want to do a few things to pep it up a bit

 

You got a great deal on a great machine. I love mine. All of teh other 700 owners will attest that it has plently of power. I ride with my uncle who has an 800 and there is not much difference, except for he uses a lot more fuel.

 

My buddy is picking up a NEW 05 Sportsman 800 EFI from the same dealer I did today. He walked OTD paying $6499 for his. I didn't think it was a bad deal either. So we'll be able to see how much more umph the 800 has over the 700.
