Figured I would throw a thread up in anticipation of picking up my new machine! I'm picking up an 18 1000 XP on Saturday for myself and a 570 SP for my wife!
I'm coming of a Raptor 700R that I rode for the last 10 years or so, loved it and will miss it, but was tired of going on ling rides and being the only one on a shift sport machine getting beat up the whole time! My wife had an old Sportsman 400ho, that we sold in favor of a Renegade 800R.
Loved the performance of the Renegade, but it was too much for her, and being almost 10 years old I figured we would get rid of it while its worth something.
I originally wanted a Scrambler for the speed junky in me, but after some soul searching (my wide said I didn't need it:devil) I decided the Sportsman gave me the best of both worlds.
I have already upgraded the wheels and tires on the 1000, I'll see how my wife like the 570 as is and upgrade that as needed.
I am having the winch mounted and i think I'm sold on Guru bumpers for both machines. I'm sure I'll some questions and need advice int he future, but in the mean time I'm looking forward to picking them up and the first ride!!
