Buy Suzuki Vinson or keep my Polaris Sportsman?
I currently have a 2002 Polaris Sportsman 400 it is completly stock other than a clutch kit. I have a chance to get a good deal on a like new Suzuki Vinson 500 with only a 100 miles. Should I buy it and sell mine or will I not see much of a difference and keep the Sportsman 400. Is the Suzuki any faster then the Sportsman. I am not looking for top end I like all the torque I can get. That is why I put a clutch kit in my sportsman but even with that I am not really pleased. I want something with more torque. So what should I do?

Do it, you will have more power for sure . Here is a 500 Utility review Vinson in 500 Utility comparison.
Even against 450s and 500 it has one of the stronger motors for its class.

Specs for a 07 Vinson 500 Pretty well the same specs for any years, nothing change since they came out in 2002.

Get the Vinson, I have a 2007 and compared to the 2006 sportsman 450 the vinson is miles ahead, more power and a lighter machine.

The guy was talking about a 2002 " 400 Sportsman" with the older 425cc engine not a "450 Sportsman" with the 455cc, I do not think the 500 Vinson would have much of a power advantage over that model to make it worth his while.
