Hello,
I am a brand new member to mudbog. I am thinking of getting a 2008 500 sportsman H.O. within the month. Are there any worthy reviews that would say to stay away from this model? This will be my first ever new ATV. Any help ewould be appreciated.

Thank you
Wayne

I always liked polaris atv's. My brother had one and he loved it.Good luck!

before you decide on a polaris check and compare other brands first,i sold a o6 500 it was in the shop for recalls more than it was on the trail.

Go for it, I have a 2000 Sportsman 500. I
can't kill it. Very reliable machine. Pulled
out a F-150 stuck in the sand yesterday.
The crew on the truck were blown away.
