Default new to the forum, big question!!!!

I am looking at the new AC 700 EFI, anybody have good or bad experiances? Also have heard that the motor is a suzuki motor is this true? I have looked at Bomb 800 (too much for me!!! but nice....), looked at Polaris and Artic Cats.... It is between Polaris and the Artic Cat, just neet help, I do trail riding in West Virginia and Tennessee, some mud, steep hills, and some rock crawling will the Artic Cats be good for this. I am a large man also 6'1", 255lbs, so I like the large bikes.
thanks everyone for any help....

The AC is very good for what you want. They have one of the best Independent Sus made. They are unmatched for ground clearance, so they excell in Rock Crawling, and mud. And they are a large bike! I dont mind Polaris, but i dont think they compare to the cat right now. My buddy is giving his sp700 back, and going to Cat now because he thinks it is a better atv. I dont know about the new 700, its a new thing so there might be some problems to work out over the next couple of years, but i know about my 650V2, its a machine! Its pretty much perfected so i think its reliable, and there is also an H1, which I have heard good things about. You might want to check theses out, and let someone else work out the kinks in the new model.

1st year for the 700 EFI, and the painted plastics would keep me away from buying it. The fact that the H1 & 650 V2 have been around a few years & there are mods available would make me look at them closely.
The 650 V2 has been great for me. I haven't had anyone run away from me yet. And it goes about anywhere I point it.

Thanks for the info, I think I am strongly leaning toward the H1 or V2. Is the V2 tranny any better or does it still need beefing up with larger tires? Is the H1 arctic cat motor going to be reliable? Im just like everyone else I want to spend my money as smart as possible on the one that will give the least problems and tote my big a-- around easily....

Thanks again anymore input???
Also whats a good price for H1 or V2?
