Default AC700 vs AC650H1

Has anyone rode both to compare? I assume that the 700 has more HP and torque and is faster, but I was just wondering. I also was wondering if you think the 700 is worth the extra money over the 650H1? I really do like the AC700 LE and would consider getting one in the future (but I will always keep my bf750). Thanks for the imput.

PS: Has AC consider making a 500cc H1 and an 800cc H1? I think with the success they have had with the H1 motor that it would benifit them to start making it across the board. That way they can be truly independent.

I would go for the 700 EFI if i were you. I love the feel of the 650 H1, but its more of a workhorse with all the low end power and mid range torque. the 700 is nice because you never have to jet when you go out west (if you do) and it runs very smooth. just my theory though.

Yah, I have the H1 and love it, however I think that I would get the 700 just to have the EFI. Power wise they are pretty close up to about 45, then the 700 will smoke the H1.

Arctic Cat is FOR SURE making additional engines based off the H1. I see a 500 in the future, but think that anything over the 650 would be a totally different design using twin cylinders. Rumor grows strong of a 900 or 950... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

You gonna buy a prowler just to get a 900cc motor?

I would be willing to bet that you will die of old age waiting for that.

lol. I believe the law in Minnesota is anything over 800 is not an ATV anymore, and you cant ride it in ditches, and atv trails.
