I stand corrected, you are right. You may find this interesting...I believe the sportsman is rated at 44 and kodiak is rated at 48. The CanAms outlanders are 48 hp.
I’d like to think kodiak 48 hp is low end trail usable power and the can am is 48 hp of high end, vtwin power for fields or open gravel roads.
One of my best friends who has wanted a 4 wheeler for years. Just went out and bought a sportsman 1000xp. But he doesnt even end up on the trails. Im sure its fun, my 708 is just a tool for me to enjoy the wilderness and have fun. At 480 hrs. Ive just begun.Awesome find, man I can’t imagine a sportsman 1000 😂
