2007 & 2012 Sportsman 500

Good Morning All,

First thanks to you all for the help with my 1999 Sportsman 500 and getting it figured out and running. I am a newbie here – My youngest daughter has taken interest in it now that its fixed and now I have nothing to ride LOL so to keep the father/daughter thing alive I am looking at an investment for us to spend time together. My wife prefers fishing HA…..

That being said, I love the simplicity of the 1999 however I do like the thought of not having to work on things and replace old worn parts.

SO, in regards to simple, minimal repairs would a 2007 style chassis vs a 2012 chassis offer any advantages regarding reliability or repairs?

I like the newer style with the added carry space of the front rack over my 1999 like the 06 and up have. Are there any other major differences or notables I might like over the 1999?

THanks in advance for the info, I am looking at being a TWO Polaris family.

Robert
