I Plan on getting rid of my 2012 sportsman 500 and buying a new ( will be a 2015 or 16) bike in the spring looking at 3 bikes. Pretty sure it’s going to be a 570 or 550 xp. Small chance I will buy a Can-Am Outlander L 500 because of this review (

). The polaris Lost but did better in the areas that for me make it the better choice. The 5 year warranty may push me to the Can-am)

I’m more concerned the comparison between the 2 polaris ( my knowledge of the xp is pretty limited and couldn’t really find any good comparisons on the net) bikes but advice on the can-am would be nice as well.

Just a quick list of what I use my bike for. Live in northern Canada. So lots of heaving snow plowing. I use bike to haul wood all winter to fill wood rooms. I trail ride quite a bit. I’m in great Canadian shield territory. So lots of steep rocky hills lots of water and plenty of mud. Bike will have power steering as well as I plan on buying tracks after bike id paid for.

Thanks
