i cant decide

...im thinking the 800 is gonna be lil to much for me but im sure i could tinker with the clutch... but i think the 500 is gonna be to weak for me,... im fairly small but i drove a 650 can am and i handled it fine...i was thinking the 500 but the only mods i wanna do are hand gaurds and n27" zillas on 14" ss112rims.. no engine mods but i want something that when it the gas shes gonna GOOO... soo what ya'll think... i know this thread is pree stupid to make but i cant decide, and i havent talked to my dad about a new quad yet... i dought hes gonna say yes this year, but hopefully next year... thanks ahead

Get the 800, especially if you are going to run 27" tires. The 800 has "just enough" beans, but is still very easy to finesse through the technically difficult terrain.

I agree with 3tv. Although the 800 has more juice, that is only controlled by your willing finger. It can be as nimble as you want but has all the power you can require of it, especially if you wanna put big tires. If you're worried the smaller engine may not be enough in the long run, epscially with 27" tires, the 800 is the only answer.

0-oh crap in a blink

I have hit 77mph on my 08 and it was pretty scary. If you get the 800, twist in the throttle stop before you let dad test ride it.....

Do you speak from experience?

I'll side with everyone here. Go for the 800 and negotiate down if neccesary. The comment on the throttle stop should be taken seriously. These things are a beast. If you're going to put 27" tires on it, consider a Dalton Clutch Kit.

I fear you would find yourself wondering/wishing about the power of the 800 if you had the 500. I'm not talking bad about the 500. They are fine for people who know their limits and never plan on exceeding or increasing that expectation. That doesn't sound like you.
