Love my 800HO! Aside from clutching(getting around to that soon) I've pretty much done all the mods I planned. Fun as ever out riding and the ultimate workhorse when I need to tackle big jobs.

I like the power of both my quads,the300 bayou seems fine on the trail and in some rare cases gets through some gnarly stuff when the heavier one sinks in,650 ca am.
i bought my 09 500 ho and was pretty happy after i put 27's and a clutch kit....in low i swear it will pull a semi......wheelies all day and can even stop in the middle of the wheelie and then continue to ride the wheelie until i wanna drop it..no need for the standing on the back rack....
Im happy with my 500 scrambler I just got, Good trail riding and can open up some when i want to as well.
My next one will certainly be a sportsman though for camping trips
We just came back from Utah after riding the 850 and me following or leading with my 02 500, the 500 goes through sand and up canyon wall switch backs just as well as the 850. Both were great but if I needed a new quad it would be the 550.
Love the X2 and won't trade in until someone comes out with the same seat/dumpbox and with power steering. The 500 can pull my large body and a passenger up the steep hills without a problem so I don't know if I would upgrade to anything more than the 550 if they come out with an X2 PS. The ATP can be a rough ride with the swing arm suspension. I'm glad they went IRS when they went to the X2.

What can be said of this mystery we're in, I have only one answer to give. If Jesus didn't die to be the Savior of my soul, truly, I do not want to live. For what would living be without a meaning and a hope? Precious little more than just some cruel cosmic joke. It's like being all dressed up and there was never even anywhere to go...
Extremely happy I see you have an x2, I used to have an 07 x2 500 it is probably the most useful design on the planet. we've had the kawi for ten years with out any hick ups. The can am 650 max is one year old it too has been good. It doesn't have the low end power the x2 has,mid range is much higher though. You also get really dirty on the can am mud protection isn't all that
great, still, it is fun.

I like the power of my 500 twin, used for mudding and for some yard*hauling and plowing. I love the indie suspension. But I am not happy with the Polaris; maybe the grass seems greener on the Yanmaha side of things, but I have always had some kind of ignition problems, since it was brand new! I also had a Polaris 250. Not much power, not good for my working stuff, but what a fun machine!
