Default Opions on Ride Comfort

I’m looking for opinions on ride comfort. Ride comfort is very important to me. I don’t want this to start a competition on which ATV has the very best ride. I’m simply looking for opinions, hopefully backed up by personal experiences. I currently ride a 2001 Kawasaki Prairie 400 4x4 and am very happy with its ability to soak up what ever the trail throws at it. Of the different bikes I have ridden, it seems to have one of the best rides. I would like to get a newer bike and am looking at pre-owned Prairie 650/700’s. I have ridden the Yamaha Kodiak 400 and the Kodiak 450 with swing arm and IRS. In my opinion the Yamaha’s give a large amount of trail feed back through the handlebars compared to my Prairie. I find that places I ride my Prairie sitting down, I must stand on the Yamaha’s to soak up the shake (this is an opinion, don’t take it personal). I’ve ridden a Grizzly 660 but not on the trail. It seems to be very comfortable but I like the low center of gravity of the Kawasaki. Realizing that there are other factors that affect ride comfort, such as the type of tires and tire pressure, I still feel the Prairie is a very comfortable machine. I guess what I am really looking for is whether the 650/700 will ride as good as my 400?
