sounds like the x2 550 touring (extra 4hp?) with a dump box is calling you. It weighs less as well.
Looking at the new X2's, it seems polaris is changing just enough so that you cannot interchange between the years. This also blows as they dont want the used market to detract from new sales/parts. This actually detracts from value and brand loyalty. This approach also hurts the companies bottom line as they have to change manufacturing. Might be that they are keeping certain value lines around to use up inventory. .02

I like being able to get the 850 if wanted but it would be nice with a machine that can carry so much weight to have power steering, especially on downhills. The real values in my mind are the Ranger line. Some of the Rangers are cheaper than the quads.

They put the XP550 under "xtream Performance" and the 500 H.O under "Value" there only a 4hp difference between them.
My last two ATVs had front shocks,they sure did not have any advantage I could feel. I ride a 660 Grizzly and 500 Foreman all the time, there sure no ride improvement on those with there front shocks.

This where the first 2011 took place, June 21st 2011 in Great Falls MT.
We had to sign an agreement with Polaris not to talk about or post any pictures until today, July 27th.

They had well over 50 2011 machines there for us to ride.
Polaris introduced the 2011 line up to it's dealers yesterday.
