Default 2006 H-1 or 2007 700 EFI

just wondering if you fellers thought that if you added EFI to the H-1 it would take away immidiate power response that it currently has because of the carb. basicley do you think it would make it like the 700 efi that were assuming will have that suzuki lag? not that i would change the system out of an 06 its great.

EFI always enhances preformance at the low end and mid-range. Sometimes on the top end. Carbs have to compromise because they have very rigid frame work to work within. Carbs work really well at idle and WOT(Wide Open Throttle). EFI adjust itself to allow the engine to run at it's optimum all the time.

very well put and reasonable answer, i just know 06 H-1 is a beast as it is. and hopeing the 07 would only be better with EFI, hopefully without lag so you could still pull the front wheels whenever you choose to do so. it's hard for me to wait for an 07 being it's only janurary. good insight.. anyone else have 2 cents??

You are aware that the 700EFI is actually a 2006 1/2 model and is using the same EFI motor that Suzuki is using in their EFI model?

Do you know when the AC 700 EFI goes on sale? - I'm looking to buy a new ATV (don't own one now) and I was at a dealer who said they had already sold two, that and he claimed they were 800's. So I'm tempted not to believe him. But between the 650 V2 and the 650 H1, which would you guys recommend, that is, unless the 700 is comming out soon :-)

Thanks, Steven

I have a V2 and love it. They are both excellent machines though. I think the V2 might have a little more power but the H1 I believe has a more disirable tranny. I havent had a single problem with mine so I wouldnt trade it for nothin!
