over the past month i was confused on the cat 700 and the griz 700 . i ended up buying a 07 cat 700 yesterday although i did notice there is 2 differences that i could notice from the 06 and the 07cats. they both have different handle bars and personally i like the 07s there more like sport bars than utility bars . they feel more at home for me at least kinda like my protapers and i also noticed that all my gauges are all digital instead of having a tack for my speedo mines digital. i cant wait my new babys being dropped off at my house tommarow since i ended up getting a lime green and added front and rear bumpers , warn 2500 winch and itp rims and 26 itp mudlites since they happend to have a set there but only thing i didnt like is the fronts are 10x12 and i wanted 12x12 all around but i bought the 26s since i gotem cheap and so dont have to sit and commplain about the stockers until i can get some laws under her.

 

Big differeance from the 650 to the 700, because the 650 uses kawasakis motor /trans or the artic cat H1650. and the 700 uses the suzuki 700 king quad motor /trans, this IMO is a much better powerplant than either of the 650s + it is fuel injected.

 

I purchased the '07 700 EFI around three weeks ago. I took it in after 100 miles to have the break-in inspection done (change fluids, etc...) and so far have 145 miles on it. The only drawback I have about this ATV is that it can be a little tough for the wife to steer. However, I weigh 320 lbs and I am impressed by how easily this thing pulls me around. I have pulled a couple of good sized stumps with it and it performed without fail. I did some rock crawling on it yesterday and that 12 inches of ground clearance comes in handy. I have not opened it up full throttle but have had it to 62mph, on stock Goodyear tires, on a dirt road. The 2500lb Warn winch is a nice addition also. I did a lot of research before making this purchase and settled on the CAT because I want more of a utility ATV and not a racer.

 

Great! enjoy the cat
