Opinion on Polaris atvs

I am in the market for a new atv and came across a good deal on a 2005 Polaris sportsman 500. I have only owned Honda racing bikes, so I wanted to get the OB's opinion on Polaris atvs. Are they as reliable as Honda? Mostly going to be used at the hunting camp and trail riding.
Thanks in advance!

Never been a fan of polaris atvs. Like the rangers, but I've seen way too many older Polaris atvs break down and have electrical problems. As for the newer ones (2010-up) I have no quarrel.

They are the best EVER or worthless POSs, depends on who you ask.
They have a lot of power and a nice ride but some are haunted by electrical nightmares.

I appreciate all the input. From my understanding they are just as reliable as Honda but with a better ride. Every one I know has ether a rancher or foreman. I don't want to buy something that turns into a money pit.

My 05 Sportsman 800 had the cluch explode into at least 30 pieces. I'm the only person that has ever had this happen to I'm sure, but on a positive note, it was an easy do it yourself repair.

Geaux- if you like the Polaros get it. Great ride, power to spare and it will take care of you as long as you don't sink it in mud and water every weekend.
