Yup it is actually a 597cc motor. Its the old seriesIII motor from the old 600's. The only real difference is top end. I've seen postings of about 98mph top speed. I've seen 110 indicated, but I'm sure in a straight out race it would be very close.
I think the 500ss was skidoo's way of handleing some of the issues with the new 600HO motor's ring problem. Depending on your insurance company yes you can see a big difference in price. I know with mine I'd actually pay more for the 500ss, because they insure by displacement CC's, not type.
