Gut Check: I purchased the 400 HO XT model with rear rack for $6,350. There was a promotion on at the time that included the rack. Before you buy any, ride a couple from each manufacturer in the size you prefer then ride the Outlander. I had the opportunity to demo the 800 and 400 for a weekend with a local dealer, some of his friends and customers. I really liked the 800 until I rode the 400 HO. I don't need the power of the 800, that unit is for someone that needs a serious work or tow vehicle. The 400 model felt like it was custom made for me.
