Hello

I am the new owner of a 2001 Sportsman 500 4X4. It is the first ATV I have owned, but I've had a fair amount of experience with them. I recently got a new place in the country with room to play and am excited to own one for myself finally. I bought the quad from a farmer friend (1 owner) that just used it for field inspecting and running around the farm. It has 2,800 miles and has never been abused. I looked at many other newer units, but knowing the seller and the quad, I couldn't pass up the deal. He took very good care of it and has never had a problem with it.

I have got some good information here and look forward to participating and getting more.

Welcome and congrats on your purchase. It's good to find a good deal on one because there is no end to the money you can spend on them for accessories and upgrades. :veryhappy:
