I know I will probably get beat up on this but here goes anyway. I have a Raptor and think I want a utility that I can play in the mud, etc. with. I am not sure if I can give up the speed, power and maneuerability of my Raptor but I think I want to try. I have narrowed it down to the Rincon and the Prairie 700. So be warned, you may see this post on other forums as well. My concerns which may not even be concerns in real life are the Rincon not having a low range and lockable front diff. Is this a real concern I should consider? After having some saddle time would you do it over again and buy another P700? Regrets? Thanks for your input.

I went from a sport to a p650. It goes as fast as I want, works as hard as I want, and its hella fun out on the muddy trails. only regret, cheap black plastic. Now that Suzuki has picked it up too, maybe someone will make replacements that are stronger, should be a lot more aftermarket stuff available too with the engine going in the artc cats also. never rode a raptor but prairie a great all around atv.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I think if you're looking for a sporty ride like the Raptor, go w/ the Prairie. If you're considering the Rincon, go with the Grizz.

My Grizz is an awesome quad. Still breaking in the P-700, but I love how it handles and it feels lighter than it really is.

 

I've had my Prairie 650 for almost 2 weeks, and I have absolutely no regrets whatsoever. It has performed far beyond my expectations. The power is just nuts, and is a sporty workhorse for sure. Mate a Clydsdale with Seabiscuit and you'd come out with the Prairie. I rode the 700 before I got the 650, and both were pretty similar, but now I might notice a difference now that I'm gettin' used to the 650. There's some good deals to be had on the 03' 650's but I dont think you could go wrong with the 700. Can't wait to see how She pushes the snow this winter!

 

Kawi420 I'm looking forward to plowing with my 03 Prairie too! Thing is I need to get the plow 1st! I'm a cheap bastard so where can I get a decent plow for CHEAP!?

 

I got a 60" Cycle Counry Plow thrown in for free w/ My 650. It seems pretty durable. I've got 3 gravel driveways so we'll see just how tough it is....
