Hi all, I am getting ready to sell my kawasaki bruteforce and i am having a hard time deciding what i want. I know this is a polaris forum, but my choices are between a 2016 can-am outlander 1000xt or a 2017 sportsman 1000. I am waiting to see what Abernathy’s in Tennesee is going to sell them for to make my final decison because my local dealer has the outlander. Local dealer also has a red 2016 sportsman 1k but from what iv’e read people say to wait for the 2017’s?? I am not real familar with the sportsmans, what were some common issues with them in 2015 and 2016? Were they addressed for 2017? I am just looking for as much advice as possible, obviously it comes down to personal preference but i would give the new sportsman a chance for sure. They also jumped 2hp from 2016 to the new 2017’s.

Thanks for any advice!
