Definately the toughest, smoothest riding, nicest handling machine on the market. You can't go wrong with a Polaris Sportsman, especially the 500H.O. I just traded an '01 500H.O. with 4100miles/500hrs for an '06 500EFI and an '06 450. Both machines are new for '06 and the performance is outstanding from each of them. Definately recommend either machine for hunting, fishing, foodplot and farm maint and when the work is done a super trail riding machine.
Upgrades/Accessories: Rack Extensions
Windshield, snowplow, handwarmers soon to follow for the EFI.
