Well I bought two Sp 450's without even riding or testing them!!!.......Stupid.....NO!!!.........I did alot of reading searching driving to different dealers,e-mails,talking to people.ETC............And guess what Bought them both over the phone about 2 1/2 hours away (great dealer) Ask me later if you want to know why, Anyway............even with the ECM issues I had,........YES I would buy another,Those issues were small compared to other trouble I could have had!!!!!!...........Great ride..........BTW.......First quads I rode with IRS......I will never go to a solid rear axle again for my riding style..........Remember that's my view!!.............................caper.......... ...

no... i would not... i had a 2003 sportsman and have a 2004 magnum... i DID buy another one but the quality is so bad on my 700 i'd be very leary now...</end quote></div>
What exactly do you mean by the quality isn't there???These machines are built stronger and heavier than any of the other brands in my opinion.......Not knocking the other brands because there's a couple other good machines out there like the BF 750 but you can't say that the quality isn't there on the Polaris's.....My opinion.
