Must be some pretty stiff sand then, because holeshots suck in any kind of sand that isnt wet and/or packed down.

Don't get me wrong but the V-Force is a great sport quad and the sound of its engine through a twin exhaust is orgasmic on any ride, but it is being compared to the Prairie which has so much potential, being it can also be a sport or race quad and do so much more. The Prairie offers so much...even the orgasmic sound of the V-Twin engine!

So by the sounds of it, I should be buying the P700 over the V?

I wish I could just rent them both for a day then deside!

in the spring I coulnt deside between a Harley Davidson V-Rod or a Fat Boy. I rented them both for 2 day and rode 500 miles. The V-Rod was the bike for me hands down. The funny thing was if I didnt rent the bikes I would have bought the Fat Boy and been very disapointed for my style of riding.

D75,

I got a P650 with the expectation of having a heavy quad that will go anywhere with plenty of power. What I got was a machine that weighs a fair amount on paper, but on the trails it feels far, far lighter and will easily destroy my friend's Warrior on any trail at any time. BTW, that is not me bragging up my riding abilities--far from it--this is just the basic machine's abilities. My Prairie has plenty of power (okay, we're all after more) and it handles quite well. I find the biggest problem with getting the beast to move out is rear wheel traction. It will just spin nearly everywhere with the stock tires. But I can always shift into 4wd, whereas a KFX is stuck with just 2wd.

For me, I'd choose the P700 in a heartbeat, in green, with aluminum rims and real rubber on it. You will love it!

LittleBoy,

How do you like the Holeshot Radials? I was considering upgrading to either those or the Maxxis Bighorn. How's ride, traction, steering, etc.?

Well coming on this site was the r ight idea to ask and the wrong at the same . Most of these guys are about the p700 and BF750. My Very close friend has a V-force, with dual yoshis and a clutch kit. That thing hauls a$$, especially if they get the hole shot. In the sand with stock tires it does not do that well, i would easly beat my friends V in hill climbs with stock tires.BUT LET ME TELL YOU WHAT HAPPEND WHEN HE THREW THE PADDLES ON. FAST HE WOULD SOMETIMES BEAT ME UP THE HILL, BUT THATS BECAUSE OF THE WRONG GEARING ON MY BEHALF...LOL.....................................A LSO HE IS A LITTLE HEAVIER THAN YOU ARE. The V-force goes threw mud like a king, well better than any sportquad i have seen. One last tid bit to think of, try hitting a double on Praire, good luck. Especially If your going to be track riding and jumping get the V

Yes, I love them, my next tires are going the Holeshot. They are light not consuming too much power from the engine, very very durable and offer great handling.

The bighorn offers more sidewall protection, but are very heavy, and they also offer a good handling

Depends on what terrain you ride.
