Default Scrambler or VForce

Ok I had done quite a bit of research and nearly had my lil heart set on a KFX700. But then I learned about the Polaris Scrambler.

It seems that the two machines are similar in the target market. People who are looking for a decent amount of power and something fun to ride.

I will be riding with guys with all sorts of bikes, everything from YFZ450s and Banshees to monster utilities. I'm not looking to race the guys on the sport bikes. I am, however, looking for something that is fun to ride, can tackle lots of different terrain, and keep up with the rest of the crew I'll be riding with.

Looking for Scrambler and VForce owners to weigh in on this. If you've ridden both, even better. You can tell me if my assessment is on, or way off.

Scrambler is old technology, get the V you will be very satisfided. When riding the V it does'nt seem to weigh 516lbs. it's more like 400lbs.

I should also mention that the bike will also be used in the snow since I live in western NY and we get plenty of that here. I like that the Scrambler has switchable 4wd.

Too big. I also don't like the look of utilities.

I'm leaning more towards the Scrambler at this point. They've been around longer and it seems that they are a bit easier to find used. It sounds like the KFX is a bit faster and a bit lighter but the Scrambler is verything I would want and more.
