I need some help makind a choice. I currenly own a 2003 500HO Sportsman. I luv it except when its time to ride FAST. It takes alot of work to ride it fast, turn fast and control the brakes.
Im ready for a new ATV. Its beetween a left over 05 HO Carb $5999 or a 06 King quad (aprox $7299) when they come in.
I luv the Polaris but I like to ride fast and I think the KQ is better for that. HOWEVER I would like to know how much worse the KQ ride than my PLUSH Polaris. I cant find anyone to let me ride a KQ so I dont know how they are. HELP

 

I hav'nt rode a sportsman 500 in a long time but my buddy has a sportsman 700. I'm not a huge polaris fan but i would have to say that his sportman 700 has one of the plushes rides out there. It may weight 100+ pounds more than my king but in the trails riding fast he's always on my tail. AS for your choices; the only benefit of the sportsman 500 is the ride, the king doesn't ride all that bad but if the ride is the most important thing than i would have to say that you should go with the sportsman. Why not look into buying a sportsman 700 efi like i said it usually keeps up to me in the trails when riding fast.
