RAIN CHECK KFX 700's are not that crazy! Its aaid it in a issue of dirtwheels that it was a begginer atv with high cc's

 

Oh yeah and sorry to here that your girl walked out. She found out you where getting wild with her best friend didnt she! haha

 

I said raincheck.. Man i am tired haha

 

my girlfriend has never been on a quad before and she took to the V no problems. she doesnt go fast or jump but she goes up some small hills and rides around. the only problem i have now is getting her off it.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

haha bigone

 

She wasnt worth it anyway, she obviously like riding something else belonging to someone else instead of a new quad. Feel lucky she walked out before you got her the new quad and treat your self to something nice 4 your quad and take a trip to ride somewhere you have not been before with the $$$

 

Its your choice and I agree if she starts off slow and works in to it, she will be OK. For reference my 700 has mods and I weigh 155, if I lay over the handle bars and transfer as much weight forward as possible and nail the throttle in the yard, it would flip backwards within 10 ft. if I dont back off and thats no exaggeration. Ive never seen a quad hook like a v-force.

 

I am still skeptical on the power thing. Not to be bashing but, I won't believe it till I ride one for myself. I am fully sure that it has ALOT of motor but the auto tranny just bothers me.

You're right Punisher, I think my 400 is about ready for some more engine mods and, I sure would like to check out the dunes at Glamis, California. I heard they are awesome, never ridden in the dunes before. Should be fun. Now, I just need to graduate so I can take that trip.

 

This is true. My girlfriend just got one. You can't mash the throttle all the way even with 200+ lbs leaning over the handle bars. It has big Kuhonnas! LOL My buddy was riding it yesterday with his 7 year old, and was showing her where the gas was while stopped. She grabbed the handlebars, and mashed the throttle. They both ended up on the ground, and the grab bar got bent, and tail light assembly ripped off the bike. It stood up, and slammed them on the ground before he could do anything. We will not let any inexperienced people ride it, or kids on it with people that don't understand it. They could've gotten much worse than bruised up if it would've been on a hill or something. It's a blast to ride wheelies with if you know how to ride. I can hold a wheelie on it better than anything I've ever been on. Effortless wheelies. It''ll pull up with slight tug on the handle bars and mashing the throttle at a pretty good roll even. Fun bike bike but a little dangerous for inexperienced riders. I hope to mod it a little to take away some low end torque, and give it more high end power. The bike simply has too much torque stock, and hooks like no other. With a wheelie bar it would be hard to beat to 150' or so.

 

Ish416,

I own both a KFX700 and a KFX400 and I can tell you that there is a HUGH difference in the power when comparing a 400cc (Like your Honda) and the KFX700. The Torque of the Big V, along with the Auto Trany, make it a riding experience like no other. I was somewhat skeptical of the Auto Trany myself at first. Now, with the addition of a $20 Spring, it has turned my already powerful V into a Monster. Try finding a $20 mod for a Manual Clutch quad that will have the same performance gains.

I have said it MANY times on this Forum, that until you have the opportunity to throw a leg over a KFX700, all of the rhetoric and talk is just that. To ride one is to believe.

As far as being a beginners quad, the V (For an adult) can make a decent beginners quad, it's all comes down to respecting its power and starting slow, learning what its capable of and what you are capable of. Then just don't cross that line until you are ready too. That pretty much holds true for any Quad.
