Re: Anybody Know 4 Wheelers?
So after a few months of shopping I finally bought a 4 wheeler.
I bought a 2012 model of the below. It is a Polaris Sportsman XP 850 Touring with power steering.
2014 Polaris Sportsman Touring 850 EPS Solar Red ATV : Features
It seems Minnesota has recently outlawed riding with a passenger on a model intended for one person. I will almost always have a passenger and the Touring models are far more comfortable and safer for that purpose. The back seat is removable and there is a filler piece that fits into the spot where the seat would go. I shifted my search then to the Touring models of which there are far fewer. I wanted something newer with low miles and didn't think I'd end up with the biggest big bore offered by Polaris bit that's what I ended up with. I also wanted a used one because I do not want to pay the highway robbery MN sales tax on a new one. It was only driven on private property so wasn't ever even tabbed.
Starting with a 77hp 850cc engine will be interesting. I need to find some sort of safety class so my wife can learn how to ride because there is just a lot more to think about vs driving her touring snowmobile.
