Sportsman 570’s.
My buddy's wife has a 2019 570 and that mother f_cker is a TANK.
The 700 sportsmen are tanks that run forever. The only reason i sold it was for down payments on these two for the wife and i.
My plan was to fix up my 700, get the wife a 400/450, and have a 500 as a spare. That's still the plan, but hopefully it'll be a nicer 700 to start with.

Oh ok, wasn’t sure if I was misreading that. Yeah, faster than I need to go in the woods.

It was a surprise to me how fast and how hard my wife's CF Moto 600 would go compared to the 2004 Polaris 700 i rode. Course when she rides it, it will never see 30 mph. Her top speed is 20. Everyone asks why i did not buy a side by side. I could not do it the only thing i would ever hear is SLOW DOWN!

When I first test drove that 700 I sold, I took off down my buddy's mile long driveway and just let it eat; by the time I reached the end of the driveway I had hit 55-60MPH on a gravel driveway with bad bushings and questionable brakes.

For me it’s a different feel riding an Atv. compared to a SxS. Which I prefer.

I've been debating SxS vs ATV, my father has a Kawasaki Teryx and that is one nice machine. I'd love to find a RZR 1000 but anything that's reasonably priced is beat to a pulp and everything in good shape is 12-20K. It's ridiculous

It’s beyond crazy the prices for any toy now. For that matter everything now, including eggs! In 2017, I paid $5200.00 for my 570 OTD.
