The Polaris sportsman 500 is a super smooth riding utility quad. This 2005 has 4 wheel drive, great suspension, and an engine known for its reliability. This is the last of the carbureted years which IMO is a good thing. The carb is a Mikuni constant velocity, CV40. The early EFI systems seemed to have some problems.
