I have a 1996 Polaris Sportsman 500 4x4, it is carburated. It has never stranded me in the woods, is bullet proof and starts during hunting season (sub zero) when the newer Kawi, Honda, Yamaha atvs wouldn't start.
I pulled a dead horse about a mile over Labor Day weekend, just put it in low gear and and away it went.
Mine is a liquid cooled 4 stroke, that cost me $2,400 3 years ago. I have put over 1,000 miles on it, a lot of it in very very rough terrain.
I have serious issues spending $7-10K on a new one.
On a side note, you can still buy the Polaris Sportsman 500 4x4 with a carb. They are a lot cheaper, and to be honest, other than cv joints instead of u joints, there really is not a lot differnet betwteen them and mine.
