Default Scrambler 500 vs prairie 650

Well guy's... I raced the Prairie 650 Sun @ a place in GA called Durhamtown Plantation. In a 300ft drag race he won. This place was as muddy as I have ever ridden before. We raced in very muddy conditions and me with my stock tires basically just spun the hole way. He, on the other hand was running BigHorn tires and had much better traction. Of course he thinks I'm just making excuses but you can have all the HP in the world with no traction it's absolutely of no use. Let me run the Bighorns and him run the stock tires and the outcome would be much different. I've challenged him to another race on dry land or pavement. We'll see how well he does then.

Whatever, I ride with Poorlaris's all the time and trust me, no competition. I test drove both in the same day, and let me tell you, I'm not just being a jackass about this, but no comparison.

Ask your buddy if you can ride his for a little while and you'll see the difference.

The scrambler is a cool bike, looks like a sports quad, rides like a sports quad, but has 4 wheel drive, can't beat it. But all in all, still no comparison to the low end torque and power throughout the power range of the Prairie's.

Ok first let me put on my waders it's gettin deep in here. I ride dead even with a P650. I actually have better acceleration. He has a little better midrange and we are dead even on the top. Now I will say it is a very good machine and I enjoy riding it when we swap. It is a little apples and oranges.
