I was looking at the rule book and it states the following:

Q: What class can the Kawasaki V-Force 700 ATV compete in?

A: The V-Force is eligible for the Utility Unlimited Class (for automatic tranny quads without racks), as well as the standard classes such as First Year Racer, the 4-Stroke Novice Classes, 4-Stroke Stock, Open A and B, 4-Stroke A and B, and Pro and Pro Production.

I was wondering as to why nobody campaigned the bike in the Pro or Pro Production classes. Seems to me that the V-Force would have an advantage on the rougher, muddier courses. Anyone have any input for me?

 

The Pro / Pro Production class is chock a block full of custom quads that cost over 20 thousand bucks. A stock or slightly modded V Force would not have much of a chance against these "super quads". I would imagine that in the coming years, the V Force platform will be tried out in these classes once enough modifications are available to make them competitive.


I would also bet money that many of the pros have a hard time accepting the auto transmission. Just a hunch though.
