i went to my johndeere/polaris dealer today to pickup hydrolic hose and on my way out i saw a lineup of polaris quads in camo then when i got up close i saw the the browning logo on it painted rims i was working my way down the line and to my surprise they have it with the 450 do any of you have one of these whats fuel like i can go a friggin long time on 2 gallons in my atc 200m probably 4 days of hard riding whats the 450 like or is the 500 efi better and are sportsmans good in snow i want a good hunting trapping qaud or wuold a hawkeye be better
becouse my atc gets to wide at times

 

Farmerman, my 450's get great gas mileage. I went
to ORV state park trail that claims its 18 miles. I managed
to do that twice and then some and only ran me just a little
have tank.

When others post they may even have theirs modified that
may save additional gas, good question to ask since prices
are soaringly high. Additional notes too are that my
Quad has good handling, a very comfortable ride
lots of power, just all around utility quad. I am a seasonal
hunter and occassional recreational rider, not on a farm.
So it meets all my needs, not to mention that with hunting
you can get all the lock&ride accessories, cool!

 

I have two sportsman 450's and I think there great on gas.....The only thing is that the fuel guage does not seem to drop until about a third of a tank is used. So it will show FULL for awhile......Check other posts on the Hawkeye .....problems reported..........also the total ground clarance is only 8" but the 450 is 11" just like the larger one's......any more questions just reply back I try my best to answer them......caper.......

I bought mine in Bancroft Tell Wayne I sent you ..It"s called Wayne's World Polaris he has A web site. I bought two and got them for 7200.00 each with a winch. But that's TWO ,I see them listed on the Auter Trader site now at the dealers for 6995.00 but don't know if that's with a winch...I needed to get mine blue 450's fuel gauge fixed from day one it did not light-up.... No problems with the dealer....It was worth the drive for me I saved about 600.00/bike plus both winches (not installed though) It was easy they are pre-wired took me about 1/2 hour the service man there even show and went through the steps before I left the dealer......caper....any more questions just ask......bye ....Love the 450' me and the wife.....

Note that the prices are dropping now that the 2007 are listed......It 's worth pricing around now to see what dealers have in stock....and want to clear......caper

 

Farmer/Cap -

What state are you all in? Well I bought mine in
West Virgina for $5630 (w/out winch off course but
that is only a few hundred extra) Out the door price
without any fees or Fed/State taxes. If you interested
I will tell you the dealer.
