Hi, Just got home with a (new to me) '06 Sportsman. Looked at many quads in my price range, this one was a cut above in mileage, condition, ride quality and power. Was owned by an old man that used it to get to his hunting spot. Looks to be well maintained, a few scratches and dings but all in all good condition for the year. Hope you can bear with me, Im going to do some searching...but I will probably have some questions for you all..Please bear with me. Sorry about the quick cell phone pic. it was raining.

 

Welcome. Clean machine doesn't look abused.

 

Very nice and clean machine! Welcome to ATVConnection, see you around the forum.

 

Very nice. Don't leave it out in the sun when you aren't riding it. The years around that model had a tendency to fade into a purplish color.

 

Nice looking machine. I have been looking for that model for awhile but the few I found needed some work to make nice. I believe it's called the browning edition. The only other one my wife would like is the dale Earnhardt edition but those are hard to find.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. Cant wait to get out on the trail.

Quick question. I see some mine is labeled "500" and some 500 HO - whats the difference?

 

HO just means high output which came about when longer duration cams and larger 40mm carbs were used starting in 2001 for the Sportsman 500. Some model weren't marked but yours being a 2006 is included.
