Gents, my son owns a 2015 800 SP. I have ridden it and I now want to upgrade to the same or similar style chassis. It will be an EFI 800 and most likely a 154" track!

I have found a near perfect 2010 XP 800 154" that has sparked my interest. (only 600 miles on it)

What years should I stay with in order to end up with similar handling as with my son's 2015 800 SP?

Are there any major year/model changes that I should steer clear of?

Thank you in advance,
Rick E.

Go with a 15, even better a 16, the best 2017 850

2010 old technology
Old engine 800R carbs
Old skis
Old wide front end
Old steering post
On and on

2013 better 800 etec & track, puts the xp to shame.
2014 better 2013 computer updated
2015 better yet computer updated
2016 better yet with change in suspension mounting in tunnel
2017 850 G4 puts the xm model in the old technology bucket again
Good buys on 16's right now, proven technology
