How does the Kawasaki 700 match up against the Big guns.[Raptor-Banshee-yfz450-400ex-etc.][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

CC's help but the rider is 90% of any machine.

 

not the fastest, but fun.

 

stock for stock it will hang pretty well with the others untill you are getting towards top end then the v starts to fall. later

friesen

 

Our little sandrail has a 700cc sled triple and it does smoke all those quads. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Bring them on.

 

i have no clue y people think the v force is fast first of all it really is'nt that good it heavey i heard handling sux and it auotomatic who ever drive a auoto sport quad is a pusay all it has is power ill give it that and its freakin huge

 

whyy donnt yuou learn two speelll beforw youu insult somone exdude

 

gimme a break...the v-force has the biggest atv engine in the world...its bound to have one of the highest top end speeds out there. how could u say that it falls behind on the top end?!...i would def say that it falls behind on the low end...then starts to smoke the competition in the top end.

 

I think people might be getting confused with top end and top speed. Top end refers to the HP in the upper RPM range, top speed is the maximum speed possible. Just because the 700 may have the biggest motor in any ATV doesn't mean it should go the fastest. The clutches are the limiting factor right now, they are to small so a real high top speed is not going to happen for a while. You can achieve a higher top speed with more RPMs but it will not be nearly as pleasent compared to using large clutches. The acceleration would not be there.

Anyways, the kawi matches up stock for stock fairly well. Its not the fastest quad or the slowest but its fun and I love it. If your into drag racing the V700 has potential. If your into racing don't get a V700. If your into spinning around, doing jumps, climbing hills and just having fun then the V700 is great. Less work managing the clutch than a manual tranny quad and more concentation on the having fun part, spinning, jumping, etc. What every you decide to get make sure its the quad for you and what you want to do.

 

The V may not be the fastest in stock form, but remember that it's only been out for a few months and

the aftermarket is only beginning. I love my V, in stock form it's right on par with the raptor until you hit

the higher gears which means that it wont take much to put this bike in front of the pack.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
