You probably have about the same breakover angle with the 2-up longer wheelbase as you did with the Honda. I still prefer the longer wheelbase for stability.
What does Polaris have for a skidplate underneath the XP? I've never asked anyone or crawled underneath one long enough to really get a good look at it.
I don't like that saddle shaped seat that the Touring has. One of those, "What were they thinking?, types of things.

I would choose the Touring over the XP even if I never intended carrying a passenger. I like the added storage space I gained by removing the rear seat too.
Next time I have a chance I'll take a picture of the underneath side, hopefully with at least three of the tires still on the ground.
I need to change the oil, I'm going to pick that up today. I wonder how much Polaris wants for 1 quart of "their" oil??

I would have to have two ATVs to put tracks on one and someone would have to give them to me.
They just aren't in my budget.

Here's my opinion as demostrated in this little video I did today on the ADC.
As usual the camera masks the grade of the hill, it is steep and loose.
Even dry I know ATV'rs with 4-wd that didn't make it up.
This 550 Touring with these Black Diamonds walks right up it.

I had to use the "reverse override" button yesterday, I hate override buttons. 
I was trying to back up off some rocks and the engine was just cutting out and I thought;
"now whats wrong???".
Let off the throttle and tried it again but this time listiening a little closer I could tell it was being
"governed". Then I saw the override by the little yellow button.
How dumb are overrides??????
