stay away from the Polaris 2011 sportsman xp 850 (2009-2012)they are a beautiful looking bike and drive like a dream (we bought ours march 2011) it has power steering and it’s automatic also drives like a dream..everything you could want in a bike…but they have waaay too many mechanical problems and they don’t seem to know anything about how to fix them. Ours has spent way to much time in the shop trying to find out and fix the problems..this time they are going to cover the cost of the parts(they have to replace the crank “this time”)but we have to pay for the labor which could end up costing us quite a bit. I would not recommend this bike at all maybe a diff year but def “NOT” the “850”. Good luck and I hate to sound so negative but just don’t want to see anyone have the trouble we’ve had.
