They did not make the 500H.O until 2001. All that H.O means is Polaris added the 500 Scambler's larger 40mm carb and high duration cam for a livelier mid to high power band.
Our 97 Sportsman has been good to us with 7000 miles on it and the in 98 they came out with some good improvements for the SP500.
