2008 Polaris Sportsman® 500 H.O. ATVs

Being an engineer I looked hard and long before making a purchase. I compared every feature, quality and price and Polaris came out on top for me. I have ridden other machines that seem to want to roll over on the front corners when riding agressively. This Sportsman is steady as a rock. It inspires confidence. It rides very smooth, unbelievebly smooth, and the AWD is fantastic. I've watched TV shows that say you need separate brakes for the front and rear as well as diff lock to get you out of the tuff stuff. Maybe if you're rock crawling or into the very technical riding but for just general trail riding and mudding just put it in AWD and let the ATV do all the thinking and all the work while you just modulate the throttle and brake. After riding with friends I offer to switch with them so they can try the Polaris and everyone to date has gotten off my 500 HO and been very impressed. Thay just can't believe how great it rides and how well it behaves. I would recommend a Polaris to anyone. Plus it's made in America, how can you beat that?
