Well have you bought an Outty yet? Just picked up a 500xt a few weeks ago with only 400 miles on it. The thing is a riot better than any other quads I have owned. Though I test drove a 1000 the other day! Wow is that thing awesome. Would love to trade mine in for it but not at the price there asking.
Btw I saw your posts on the Outty forum

Me? The G2 frame issues, and a dealer that wont budge pushed me over to a Sportsman this time !! That, and it was $2,500 cheaper helped too. Maybe next time, see they new 500 pumps out 47HP, eh? DROOOLS!

I'd be happy with an Outty 400, but on the G 2 chassis. Maybe next time?!

As I grow older and with back issues, I found kicking a leg over the seat of an ATV to be a bit of a problem.I think that a SxS will be a lot easier to enter and exit.Doing chores with a machine around a property requires a lot of stop and goes,so therefore,a machine thats easier on these old bones is what I'm looking for.

If we could ride them on the toads, i'd have a ranger 400 or 500, or a 570. They are excellent, and like you said, age friendly!!
