It is way easier to wheelie the 600 but for some reason it is hard for the 700. I think the 600 has much better bottom end. It can pull the wheels in high with no problem.

The SP600 is easier to wheelie because it has better clutching than the SP700. That's why the 700 is not much faster than the 600 in a drag race.

I would be scared to death to wheelie a sportsman 700. I have a 600 that I just got last week. I was riding this weekend and came up a steep short hill. Obviously since I have only had it for 6 days, I am not very familar with it. Well, the front end came off the ground and scared the crap out of me and the other guy I was riding with. I did not expect it which is why it seemed so bad. I cant see doing this on purpose, 720 pounds is a lot of weight to come back on you.

i dont know how you guys are having problems with doin wheelies.... i am 165 6'3" (tall and skinny) and i have no problems doin' wheelies. I just put in high give it a little gas to engage the clutch and pin it and pull back at the same time and its comes right up. i put one foot on the back rack extender so i have something to stand on when its strait up in the air. you cant do it on gravel but you should be able to do it in grass... you can definitally on pavement
