I really like the motor in the motor in the v-force b/c i have ridden a prairie 700, but i don't want a utililty quad. I want a sport quad.

Is the v-force sporty like on a track?(not for a real race just for fun)
How is it in tight trails?
How is it at hill climbing?

 

Its not a MX Racer,But it can do anything you can come up with.When you ride it does not feel like a 500 lb. atv.I have had mine for about 6 months not had any problems.Do not let auto tranny fool you these atv's get-up.What I like it the most is that anybody can ride it.They jump good handle like a car on rails.

 

Any word yet if Kawasaki is going to put some kind of engine braking on the 05 VForce?

 

It’s has good engine braking now. When you let off the throttle at speed, you can feel it decelerating. The only quirk in the mix is that the transmission will “let go” when you get to around idle speed and then you will free-wheel. This is most commonly noticed when you are going down a rough hill and you are trying to go slow. When that happens just use your brakes, or blip the throttle quickly and the transmission will hook up again…

 

I think the V is a good all-around quad, its great in the woods, tight trails, hills are fair (heavy) ground clearance is great, auto is good. Plus, lots of goodies to improve the machine.
