I bought mine brand new in 2020 same color, it has been a great machine, I have been in this sport since 1984 owned multiple multiple machines this is my favorite, you young guys don't know what it's like to ride a quad with no suspension 37 years ago LOL
I got a 450 utility in 21 , added the winch and rear bumper , it's a peppy machine and works great for my riding style , my biggest gripe is the fuel fill. My last atv was a arctic cat 400, 8000 miles on it , still runs but it's tired
Just picked EPS one up for my mom she was rippin around the dealership . Odd they did not call this a 500 considering its what a 499cc lol,...... Reminds me of my old 2007 sportsman 450.
You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it! As far as fuel usage goes, I can ride for a full afternoon on one tank and possibly longer because I ride slow and use less throttle. I can't complain about gas usage though, this thing is a beast.
The factory tires do decent in a lot of mud. It also seems balanced pretty well for rocks and some climbing. Mine didn't come with power steering but I believe it can be added on. I personally don't think it needs it because steering is quite smooth.
How’s it holding up. I hear a lot of bad about Polaris I heard they’re like bmw of fourwheelers. They’re work great until they don’t and they break hard and are expensive. Is that true? I’m looking at getting a 450 or 570
So far I've had zero trouble out of this. I go a little fast on some trails but I don't jump it or anything like that. It's more or less a pack horse for camera gear. I can't speak for anything above the 450, but I haven't heard anything negative about them. Hope this helps!
I'm picking my new 2023 450 H.O up tomorrow. What's the proper break in procedure for these? I currently have a 2014 Sportsman 400 H.O which I bought used so I never had to break one in. I assume it's standard like most engines? Slow/mid speeds for a heat cycle then higher speeds for the next?
I'm guessing the 23's are similar, but I just gradually accelerated more to break mine in and gradually increased the terrain until the hours started climbing. I never really mistreat mine, so I tried to keep it out of strains until after the initial service, but all in all I think gradually using the features should work nice. Hope you enjoy that thing! Love to see a video!
I also have another question, when you bought it did they ask u if u wanted to equip the utility, which comes with steel front and rear racks as well as a steel front bumper? It would have been roughly $380 CAD.

This was my first ATV in years. So far I have nothing negative to say about it. Great machine.

It's been a little over a year now since I got mine and I still love it. It's even easy to handle
hi, thanks for the beautiful shots of the drive through the countryside? what is the fuel consumption of the 450? Cheers Mirek Czech Republic

How has the bike been doing since you got it?…I looked at a couple today and pretty sure gonna go with the Polaris 450 just curious on any issues
I love it after almost a year. It takes me where I need to go and always is reliable. I can't ask for anything more.
So is the 450 big enough for trails rocks steep grades mud. Does it come with power steering?

I’ve had mine screaming through trails at 60 mile an hour 😅
Nice!

They asked if I wanted a winch because the mount was already there, but I told them I may add them later on. I wish I would have got them now lol
I'm picking mine up on Thursday. This didn't help my excitement a single bit... LOL
How’s it holding up? Any issues?
This thing still runs like a top. I've greased it and changed the oil, aside from that I'd still give it an A+
💪💪💪💪🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Looks like going up the back side of Old House on the old commisary side...am i right?
They look almost the same! This was in Turkey Creek after they did all the gas well work. I was just thinking about how some roads look similar.
