  • great machine
    By Walter T. (I am an Owner) on Jan 27, 2019

    My second of 400 series sportman.Totally reliable.They no longer come with a recoil ( pull start), but for a few dollars more I had one installed. Not available on larger Sportman models.No worries if my battery goes dead. Ride often when not on my Harley.
