Default P 700 kicks butt

Went riding today. I have a P 650 and my buddy just bought a new P 700. He beat me by 5 quad lengths at about
75 yards.This machine is bad to the bone. I was looking at the P 700 rear axle and it has boots on the axle where
it comes out if the diff. I looked at my 650 and it is made for them too.I am going to order 2 boots for mine.

Lets talk about the 2 machines. Was the 700 stock? Tires and all? Do they both have or do not have winches? How about yours? I have seen a race between a 03 650 on and a 700 on pavement and it was a VERY close1 quad length. Both machines were stock tires and all. Riders were almost the same weight. Did you get a bad set of cams?

Thats great that you love the new P700. I think we all know how reliable and durable the Prairies are. I used to have the old 400, and the wife has a new 360 4x4. Here's my question for you. Does the P700 get the same pathetic gas mileage as the V-Force does. I laugh my butt off at those guys because they can't get far from a pump. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] We are still racing, riding the trails, dunes, whatever; and the V-Force guys have to stop to go get gas.
How is your P700 on mileage?

Both 4 wheelers were stock with stock tires. Ihave a winch and he doesnt.But he is bigger than me.I would say that the weight was about the same.We were on dry pavement. As for the fuel milage they dont do very well.
I can ride 50 miles.I know that some atvs run better than others even though they are exactly the same. Maybe
that P 700 runs a little beter than most.

I was out with some buddies and we stopped in and test rode an 02 P650. We were all impressed with the power of this beast! Made me really eyeball that new P700 sitting on the showroom floor........hummmm

I am in denial. I got my 03 new for 5825.00 OTD. So to make myself feel better I say, "They got to run hotter and use more gas, and are not all that much better"?
I just want to see a side by side or over & under dual exhaust setup that flows better but is just as quiet.

I went riding today again with the 700 and he beats me evertime in a drag race, but out riding through the trails
they seam the same. I will keep my 650 it has plenty of power and there is nothing the 700 will do that I cant.
