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.
