So I’m looking to purchase my first atv. My wife and I just inherited a 97 sportsman 400 2 stroke and I’m looking for a second atv for me to ride.

I’m considering the 450 over the 570 mainly due to price in my area. I can’t justify the $6500 that the 570 demands.

I guess I’m hoping that this thread pushes me toward the 450 but let’s see what happens.

Questions:
1) I know the 450 is the same engine as the 570 tuned for lower horse power. As a result am I okay to assume that the 450 will have more torque and therefore acceleration off the line?

2) how would the 450 compare to the 400 we have?

3) I’m not overly concerned with top speed, more so how quickly I can get there, what difference should I expect?

4) what is the top speed of each anyway?

Thanks so much…
Zach
