Off topic I know but I’m looking at getting one of the two, I already have a ’14 sportsman 570 to take into consideration.
I’m looking at:
-2011 switchback assault 800 with 600 miles for $8000-$9000
-2014 non-current Kawasaki teryx 800/2 for $11,849 ($13,450 OTD) with 3 year warranty.
Sled pro’s
-Cheaper
-More fun in winter
-Social factor, lots of friends ask me to ride with them
-Stress factor, I need a winter escape from exams and stuff
-Smaller easier to store
-Already have a quad for summer
Teryx pro’s
-Works year around
-Comfier when going on long trips
-better resale value (although large depreciation off lot compared to sled)
-Build a dealer relationship for future discounts
-Universal for work or play
-Warranty/New wow factor (don’t judge you know the feeling)
