Witch one would you buy and why?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

 

i have a p700. the reason i got my p700 is for hunting,working around the house,and for all around riding. mud,hill climbs and rock crawling.

 

P700. 90% of the speed and a lot of the sportyness but infinately more useful with 4wd, diff lock, racks, etc.

 

Unless you need to use it to work I always vote for a sport quad. That's just me. The V force feels huge to me to drive, I couldn't imagine trying to manhandle a 600lb quad like the prairie where I ride. Your mileage may vary.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Im just looking to have some fun on weekends, no working with the quad or hunting, just some trail, mud, snow riding. Is the "V" as comfertable as a ride as the P700?

BTW im 6ft 235lbs

 

I think the KFX is more comfortable at higher speeds than the KFV is and is easier to throw around under you. The KFV is more comfortable at slower speeds and crawling through technical terrain. So low speed trails the prairie is more comfortable, the V can handle them fine just rides ruffer unless you put better shocks on it. aftermarket shocks really help the V and aftermarket springs or struts on the front of the prairie really help it at higher speeds. You will get more dirt water what have you sprayed up on you if you ride on V compared to a prairie. So just for example my wife rides the prairie most the time and I ride the V. I ride harder and more aggressive than she does.

 

Daranello75,
I also had that dilemma before. I am also a very agressive rider and use my quad only for pleasure, and yes I drive faster than most (with all the mods now 122km/h, V-Force about 118km/h). If I would of lived in Arizona, I would of probably bought a V-Force, but, having to live with the winter's snow and having to live with summer's beautiful mud holes, well, I chose the Prairie for its all-season potentiel. I adapted the Prairie for what I wanted it for (a fast quad with great handling), plus giving me the option of all wheel drive in the winter, front differential lock and a winch to play in the mud and two wheel to have a little more fun on the track.

 

I bought a V- force thinking it was just a faster lighter prarrie , I was verry dissapointed and sold it after 6months and bought a
Twin peaks/P700.

Reasons:

The ride was very stiff, it road like a buck coard wagon compaired to a lexus

The V-force was not that much faster than my P650

The V's tires were the worst I have ever had in the sand. I had a Raptor and had very little problem in the sand with its stock tire. I had to put paddle tires on the V the first time I took it to the dunes because it just would not hardly go in the sand at all, This brings up the fact the Belt drive Auto tranny sounds like its flying apart when I ran paddles, do to the way the clutch works.

I herd about the V-force motor comming out in the Prarrie and desided I had had enough of the V. Buy the time I got it sold Susuki announced there Twin Peaks clone and that blue looked sporty and I knew it would ride and handel the way I wanted it to. The prarrie I have had now for over two years has been one of the best quads I have ever owned.

 

My friend bought a V and is very sorry he didn't get the p700. On the trails we ride he gets left behind because he doesn't have 4wd.I also take him on the muddiest trail so he gets totally covered in mud{he he].He ia also dissappointed in the fuel range.There are very few occasions when we ride that I wish I had the V..........Get the Praire.

 

I would disagree with the stock tires being bad in the sand, sand is different from place to place but my V climbed many steep dunes at St.Anthony with the stock holeshots. The biggest problem it has is weight verses the other sport quads. I also own a P700 and had it first. Unless you got a accidental monster Prairie the V is a lot faster stock than a Prairie and mine runs good but the V runs away from it hard. The suspension comes set hard and I had to soften the setting it is still ruff at slower speeds. I prefer my V for most riding but choose the Prairie for deep mud or technical terrain.
