What I am gonna ask maybe limited to a small group but figured this would be the only place it may get answered and help me decide what to buy.

background – I have owned in order a scrambler 400, then moved to 500×2, then 50" 800 rzr.

I find myself missing riding a quad and thinking about selling the rzr and returning to something with handlebars. I am torn between buying a single seat 850/1000 sportsman or the 2-up 850/1000 sportsman touring. My friend during the period I have owned my rzr had a 850 sportsman and now moved up to the 1000 single seater (by the way this quad is sick with power), I have had the opportunity to ride it and makes me miss having one. My dilemma is should I go with the 2-up because there are times I will have a passenger or I won’t I have the same ride as the single seater. I liked my old 500×2 for the added length at times but other times not so much. Everywhere I ride is private so I don’t have to follow any rules about two passengers on single seat atvs so this has no factor in my decision.

Does anyone have any personal experience with riding both pluses/negatives?
