Just got a new 2010 550 Touring EPS

Today the wife and I picked up our new quad. I normally ride my Outlaw 525S or my KTM 200 MXC and she used to ride a 2000 Grizzly 600. We went in thinking that she was going to get a 2008 500 Sportsman touring but I tried to get her to look at the XP chassis. Once she tried out the 2010 550 with EPS she was 100% sold. Now, is there anything I should look out for? Do most of you buy Polaris winches or other brands. I was told that the winch from polaris is a Warn winch but the price seemed pretty high. If Polaris winches are the best anyone have a reco on a good place to get one?

TIA,

Eric

My wife and I are looking to buy this quad, or the 850. I will follow your adventures on your new quad to see if it holds up before I buy. Looking to buy around Christmas.

Great looking quad BTW.

Sounds good. We are going out to the Badlands next weekend. I look forward to spending some time on it. I'll try to post my thoughts when I return.

Well I have to say that I am very impressed with the new Sportsman. It is easiliy the most comfortable ATV I have ever ridden on. The 4 wheel drive works awesome and the IRS is so smooth. What really seals the deal is the EPS. I can ride that thing all day long. I actually enjoyed riding the Sportsman more than my Outlaw 525 S. I had a impromptu race against my brother riding his wifes Woverine 450 and the big Sportsman walked away from it. As you might have guess I am really glad we bought this quad and now I am considering trading my 525 and my Grizzly in for a 2nd Sportsman.
