You should buy my wifes '10 850XP EPS, less then 2000 miles and very clean. 26" XTR's, front and rear Polaris boxes, hand guards. $8G or offers? Going to a SxS.

I have a 2010 850 ,been a great bike all around. The12`s have more power (77HP) and second only to the Canam (82HP) 1000. They handle nice and are set up well in stock form other than tires.............The 2012 front axles are not as good as the older 2010`s but Rhino axles are availble at a reasonable cost to fix that...............
Larry is saving every dime,he can`t wait till the day he can throw his leg over a new POPO. It will go along ways toward ending his problem of constantly getting stuck with his queen quad. WE will miss towing him out though.......................................

You'd think that with the amount of times Larry is on and off his quad...between getting stuck and staring at his GPS in bewilderment...that he'd get a BRP Traxter, with the flow-through seating...so much easier on them old hips.

Mount a 17" laptop on the front rack for him, and sync the GPS to mapsource or oil trax on the laptop, change resolution to 640x480, he won't have to get off the quad, and on breaks, he can watch movies or porn or whatever else he wants!

Good idea. He likes watching plumbers crack. It gives him ideas for his crackadooin moves this summer.
