I can tell you thae the rincon's seat and the rubicons have the say firmness. The XP' seat is cushy for the tushy!

 

Hello

 

Hi.
I'm 6 foot 250 lbs,and i have back problems too.
I had a 02 700 ,now a xp550.
The new xp is far more superier for the ride and the steering is amazing.
The old bike i lasted only 4 hours, the new one i can go a 6 hours before i have to take a hand full of Perc's
Stupid Polaris....should have brought this machine out years ago.
Oh and i dont miss not having the twin any more,the 550 gots plenty of Jam for me,best bonus is the better fuel mileage.
So i say go ride them both,,,, then we'll see you riding your new XP 850(or 550).

And the best part with the XP's is the rad(no more over heating.water pump seals)

 

Hey lobodog3, I take it your 550 has EPS right?

 

Sorry nope ,
I have not tryed one yet but from driving mine i don't think i would need it,it steers so nice.

Thanks for all the info guys. I am going to go with a 2008 800. Found a used one with 140 miles for under 6K.
