For the past 3 weeks ATVTelevision has been airing a test on all of the bigbore Sport/Utility machines. Their 6 test riders all voted the 650 Prairie #1…Griz 660 #2…followed closely by the Suzuki 500 in 3rd….Rubicon in 4th…and the Polaris 700 and Quest 650 were very far behind the rest! They even rode a Polaris 500 and rated it better than the 700! ATV magazine must have not really tested these quads…

I taped it so I will go back and watch it...Most of the ads are for tires and accesories. Doug has always liked the the 500HO and the Rubicon. Knowing how much he likes the 500HO I expected the 700 to rate better. But this was not only his decision, there were 6 riders not ATVTV staff but friends.

They completly slammed the 700. I think the remark was forget they even built this machine.

Look at his sponsors through out the year those are the ATV's that won. Money can buy you better reviews this ATV show defiantly displays that. If Polaris sponsored this show you would have seen it do alot better and if Kawasaki was not one of his top sponsers you would have seen the 650 in last place. Watch his show you will almost never see the quads from those who do not sponser his show and if you do he will not say much about it and if he does it is almost always not has good as his sponsors atv's. I would do the same thing Doug Meyer does if it was my show and I needed the money to run it. If he did not say good things about my product and did not rate it high I would stop giving him my money.
