Default V-force 700 for a scrambler 500 4x4?

hey guys, my uncle has an 01 scrambler 500 4x4, hes looking to get a new bike because his bike breaks every time he does a jump or even just rides it(getting old). hes a good rider who rides his scrambler pretty hard, he was thinking about getting a new scrambler because he "likes the four wheel drive" that he doesnt even use have the time. for a 45 year old guy he loves to jump and do crazy stuff, i recomended the 700 v-force, but he continues to argue to me about how it would probobly suck in the woods. we ride in trails with mud, jumps, large feild for screwin around, ect. and we also ( or i do most of the time) ride at the near-by tracks, and some quarries. do you think the v-force will satisfy his needs? hw wants to star goin to the track more, but hes on this polaris kick that "nothin is better", thanks for your help.

well.. for a quad to fall apart every time he sits on it or jumps it has problems.. and not because its a polaris.. prolly cause he doesnt keep up with maintaning it or he crashes alot... or your just BSing to make polaris look bad... which is what i think your doing...

and you uncle is right... NOTHING IS BETTER!!! lol...
a V would be nice.. but he has a great quad for his age right now.

The V Force was designed for the woods. It is awesome!! This is truly one of the best quads around for that type of riding. It is much more agile than a 4x4 and can go just about everywhere a 4x4 can go. And the power is awesome. It is a big step up from a Scrambler.

no not at all hozed, his bike is and 01, he always maintained it well, but it has been abused over the years, he has had his mihabes, like crashing, but he never seriosly did anything to it. he rides in alot of deep water, and thick mud. im not trying to make polaris look bad, i just saying its been used proboly to its fullest, and its time for a new bike. the reason why im going with the v-froce is because we are doing more track now, and imo the v-force would be better. the polaris has been real good to him believe me, but its a couple years old now and its starting to have its problems, he just abuses it. not tryin to bash.

That's exactly why I'm on a V-Force instead of my Scrambler 400. The Scramblers are a blast when theyr'e running, but if you ride them like a sport quad they will break and break often. Tell him to get the V, its way, way sportier than the Scrambler and he won't be doing repairs every weekend .

No matter what he buys, at 45 years old I'm sure he knows what he wants. Just like you did when you bought your quad.

tell your uncle that nobody liked the polaris more than i and i replaced the steering stem 3 or 4 times from mishaps like forgetting to tie it down when i left to go racing and getting there and my son says why did you bring your trailor? but i wanted something faster and i bought the v force and never looked back.
