lol - I always go through some kinda buyer's remorse, but it's because these kind of purchases are a "want" not a "need" item... We bought our 08 800 touring sight unseen via ebay from a dealer, and at the time had a 1 year old Arctic Cat quad. After one ride on the 800 though no looking back and love it.

 

When I bought the Sportsman X2 in 2006 I only had buyers remorse when they came out with a camo version a month later. As it turns out the camo had an issue with turning to a purplish color so not too bad. Love my machine. About 2000 miles and 225 trouble free hours.

 

I bought a new XP850 last year and have not second guessed it once. Awesome machine....Rode yesterday and today and just love the ride and way it punches out and tries to leave you behind.....Best off-road machine I've ever owned as well.

 

have a 550 xp and a 700sports no regrets on either one.I also bought a 63 vette rdstr $ (4000) and a 70 judge ($950) 32 yrs ago and still have them , no regrets there either I guess I got lucky. Don't sellem keep them

 

I rode most of the big bores before I bought. Most people do test drive the comparable brands in the size/price range they are looking at.
Every time I ride my XP, it reassures me that I bought the best all around atv on the market today. Sure I had fun with other machines I've had and rode, but none have compared as an all around machine to the XP.
