I traded my Polaris Trail Boss 330 and bought a Sportsman 500. It is a top of the line mid-size quad! The handling is great, comfort is great, and the power is great! The suspension absorbs the rocks and ruts like the aren't even there! Handles the trails like a champ! With EFI it starts instantly. In the winter it starts with one turn of the key. I have had no problems with the EFI system. It works great! My friend still has his 2000 Yamaha Grizz 600. He use to beat me in drag races when I had my Trail Boss, but now I smoke him everytime. He weights about 100lbs. less than me and his machine weights 115lbs less than mine. The 499cc engine pulls hard! You can even break the back end loose around turns or just for fun! This is the best 500 machine you can buy. Love it!
