polaris 500 underpowered?
a married couple i know has a pair of 500 h.o. polaris sportsmans. one is 04 and one is 04.5 the latter one having a much better shifting mechanism. 04 shifting mechanism is impossible for me and her, difficult for him. anyways, hers sucks as far as power goes. not a whole lot of snap off the line. it rides decent enough and i have mixed feelings about it's handling. can you guys tell me how much of a jump is the 600 in power. i know it's a twin and some say that helps plus a 100 extra cc's never hurt anybody. anyone ridden both. i don't hear alot about the 600. what's it like power wise. should i keep an eye out for one or get a 700 if we get anything. we're thinking about a 500-700 class four wheeler by the end of the year, used, cheap as possible, low miles as possible (i know the american dream, get something for nothing) we are willing to wait for a good deal but tell me about the difference between 500, 600, and 700 powerwise please.
