Ok, I've been burning up google trying to find where I read that at and we'll just have to blame it on senility on my part. If I find it I promise to post it....whatever it is.

I'm sure with the same 3 mods that open up a Raptor, you could do wonders on the 700XX.

no i read on atvsport mag, they had a shootout, 700r, 700xx, 525irs, 525s, and ktm 525xc

the 700r came in first, but it diddnt place first in any catogories except comfort.

the 525s witch came in last had the fastest 100 yard dash time of 6.07 seconds.

the 700xx came in first on top speed with 75.

the ktm surprisingly diddnt place faster in aceleration than the outlaw and no more top speed than anything, the ktm, polaris's and rappy all topped at 73.


thats according to the mag though.

still dont see how the raptor came in first...

the 700xx seems to be holding up now that its been to the shop a few times. apparently it wasnt tightend up real well off the assembely line ( not suprised ). i still stand by my comments about the power and handleing ( both the good and bad comments ), but now that it doesnt sound like its going to rattle apart, its not so bad.

i mean no insult to yall 700xx riders, because not every quad is right for you, but this one in particular didnt put a good impression on me. i was expecting more from honda, looking at the 450r and the EX line, i cant figure out how they came up with this.

and my buddy is stuck with it now, because he gave his predator to his wife and rolled the outlaw and warped the frame.

WOW THIS POST WENT ALONG WAY...

No insult taken. (I think I'm the only 700xx owner here)
