On Thursday, I got back into town early and picked up my new Sportsman 800 EFI in Mossy Oak Camo!
Man what a beast! I've only ridden about 40 miles since I got it (Fri eve) and then again yesterday, but holy cow this thing is POWERFUL. Mileage is good too... 32 miles on Fri and got 16 mpg, 18 miles on Sun and got 13 mpg (slow going, rocks, etc).
I'll post pix when I have some good ones later...

That's BAD ASS Rob.
The 800 is sort of insane....but in a good way. Night and day to the carb model, eh?

By the way...we are going this weekend. We'll be at Loon Lake Friday/Saturday. Just going to base camp, and ride around both days....so car camping. No need to pack gear on the bikes.

We'll be either just after the fee campground, where it turns to dirt road...or we'll be in the fee section. Jack's going to be there around 10AM on Friday...so it won't be difficult to get a spot.

If there were, they'd be scams probably. Although, I have in fact seen a few 800 EFIs on there in recent weeks, all for near-new prices.

Steve got his for $6,600 on Ebay in Illinois. It was a 2005, with 221 miles. He paid $375 to ship it.
Not sure what a new one is going for...so that's $6,975 before tax/registration.
