I just sold my 2012 s with 1900 miles on Friday and got a 2011 xp900 last night (Tuesday)with 2500 miles and got a set of 4 sand tires and wheels and it cost me $500 more than what I sold the s for. Best decision ever! I trail ride, dune ride and had my last rzr street legal and I can tell you you won't miss a single thing about the 800(fuel mileage was a little better on long trail rides tho) but then again average speed is a lot more haha. The prices on the 800s's right now is optimum to sell and the 900's are prime to buy.

 

I did!!!have not looked back!

 

My "S" was a blast but my XP is on another level, Love It!!!!!

 

Do it.

 

I did the same thing in October, I don't regret it one bit, I even packed an elk out on the 900 this year (you mentioned hunting). Get the 900 and you'll wonder why you didn't do it earlier!

 

I had a 800 s and was very happy i bought a 2013 xp900 and cant believe i ever liked my800 dont drive a 900 because you will really dislike your 800 night and day!

 

Before I bought my 900, I went to a local dealer thinking I wanted an 800. That was until I drove a 800 w/ no power steering THEN drove a 900 with ps. I NEVER even considered an 800 after that. Like I've told others, IT'S 33 MORE HP IN A 1000# VEHICLE, WITH BETTER SUSPENSION!!!

 

Do it!!!

I bought a 2013 800s in April. Traded it in on a 2013 900xp in August.

You won't regret it!!!

 

I just went threw this also.....there is no dout I would say go with the 900.. I did and love it,I had the chance to drive the 800s and 800 Xc the s is def a great ride.. But after 2 sec in the 900 my choice was made.. Go for it you it you will love it man.

 

Just had the same dilema. Used my buddies S for a day, then made the mistake of riding in 900. 2 Weeks later i bought a 900XP LE. Glad i decided for the 900. Do it and don't look back!

 

900!! I had buyer's regret... until I got to really drive it and it is soooo worth every penny. If you have a choice of the two go for the 900. Two awesome machines either way

 

Do it!!! You won't regret it. I had an 800, reluctantly sold it and have never regretted it.

 

do it

 

Buy the 900 and don't look back, and if u do look back all u will see is a bunch of 800's trying to keep up!!! I love my 900 but I plan to upgrade to a 1000 one day.

 

No question.

 

So, did you go with a 900?

 

You won't regret it at all.

 

I was in the same boat, had a 800s that I absolutely loved. Drove my buddies 900 and never could look at my 800 the same. Lol Now driving a 900 and making it my own and loving every minute.

 

Do it and you will never regret it at all! I bought 2 RZR 's and 4 months later I drove an XP and fell in love in the first 10 sec's Oh that's right when i pressed the pedal down to the floor and it was all over! LOL BUY IT!

 

Oh yeah!! Have a 2014
Rzr4-900 & love it!'

It's an epidemic I tell you. Once you drive a 900 you'll wonder why you didn't trade your 800 sooner. Hmm, once you drive the 1000 you'll wonder why you ever bought a 900. Sometimes it's not about having the most power or the best suspension. Most people buy more machine than they have need for and cannot use the machine to it's fullest potential. But they can say sure I got one of those.

 

I'm currently in the same situation. Want to be a RZR owner in the next few weeks. The issue for me is that I don't have a spot for a trailer nor do I want a trailer, I have a full size truck so I will need to transport in that. So, all I have room for is a 60" S unless I get one of those bed racks and super long ramps so I can get an XP up there.

Used 2010 S with Fox shocks - $8500 to $9000
New 2014 basic S - $11,100 plus $600 shipping to my house (could add better shocks later)
Used 2011-2012 XP -$11,500 to $12,500, plus $1,000 for someone to build me a bed rack and ramps...

Decisions, decisions....

 

They make the Ace, 170, 570, 800, 800S, 900, 1000. Seems like you ought to be able to find something that fits your needs. But, you can NEVER have too much power. I am thinking I will get an Ace when they put the 900 motor in in it.

 

Have not got the 900 yet. Torn between the 900 and a commander 1000xt. Have had a few more interests in my S again so we shall see if it sells.

 

I can tell you from personal experience (I own xp step dad has commander)the 900XP and the commander 1000xt are two different animals. The suspension and "drivability" of the xp beats the commander hands down. If you want to have more utility than the xp provides get the commander. I don't think that the commander and xp are even in the same category. The xp is a Baja trophy truck where the commander is a performance pickup truck. Dirt trax dumped a ton of money into a commander to see if they could get it to compete with the xp and in the end said that they are just two different classes of machines.

If you want a sport utv go with the xp if you want a utility utv with some sport capability go with the commander.
