I know the 500 X2's are geared low like the 330's are but are the 800's the same?
I had a chance to drive a new 500 a while back & i have to say i dont like the gearing compared to my 600. I can see how a lower gear would be good for hauling a second rider & i would get accustomed to it after a bit but as a gut feeling i don't like it.

I liked it Jay, I would buy that 500 X2 any day over an 800 X2, but I just know ME and I know I would be bustin axles left right and center with a big bore machine, thats why I will probably always stick with a 500.

I know what you are saying paul.
This bike would be Di's & she likes a 500 but i would still like to have the 800 especially if i get rid of my 600. I would not want to step down in CC's if i can help it.

Hell with me selling these China ATV's now i just might get her one of those. If she will ride anything but a popo in not sure just yet.

A 400 with winch & plow is $5000 +tx & a IRS model is only a few hundred more. & if i buy it for the business then its a write off. Hmmmm
