Default KingQuad vs BruteForce vs Prarie vs Rincon vs Griz

Just thought I would comment a little. I have rode both the SP800 and also the BF750. Both are nice machines. They are different though. The SP800 rode like you were on a cloud of air. It was very cushy. I think the SP800 is easy to handle and even with the IRS it is pretty good for tippyness. Though I felt like it was not quite as fast as the BF750. Being that I like play and jump and so forth I really don't think the SP800 would be too fun. It is a wider machine than the BF and also the turning raidus is about 3ft more that the BF. I have not rode the P700 but I did ride the BF650 and I did like it. It had decent snap to it but not as good as the BF750 but it is something that IMO you can play more on it, ie: Powerslides and stuff. With the IRS on most of them powewrsilder are tough. I am thinking about buying a BF650 at the moment but think I might try a praire out also.

Thanks for all the feedback, guys. Looks like I need to be checking out a P700/TwinPeaks! I was really surprised that no one really found the new King Quad or BF to fit the bill. I was thinking the BF would have the raw acceleration, but it sounds like it is hard to control in the tight stuff with its size and IRS. I guess the IRS kills the King Quad as well........

Don't get me wrong, I really liked the BF750 I had test drove the King Quad and it was powerful like the BF as well. I only mentioned the BF and the SP800 cause Ihave actually rode those some cause my uncle and cousin have them. If you like to powerslide then IRS will be a problem. Like I said I am going to look at the BF 650 but think I will try a P700 also. Looks like the P700 is exactly the same but a different body syle and the extra 50cc. The BF750 is quick. You can ride wheelies from teh start and by the sounds of some clucth mods you can get the BF/Praire to do a little more. I would like a sport quad but I ride out Here in the Black hills and the clearance is needed some alot of trails but not all.

I have a 650 prairie as well as a 750 brute love them both for your riding style stick with the sra I would consider the bf650 manly because of the new plastic they use like on the 750 keeping things such as your Rad clean and so forth is a sanp less heating problems bercause it just plain easier to get to.Put in a module in either one or a cdi and be prpared to hang on, I got the h/l mod on my 650 and it really rips off the line with stock tires the 750 with the cdi has a lot of ***** as well but its diffrent the fun factor is higher in the 650.either the 650 or 700 is a great choice

VTPrarie,

Are you saying the I can take a BF 650 and drop in a CDI or something and have a machine that has similar power to my V700? It would be nice to have that new plastic....

I have a bf750 and ive got exaust and a ignition module while i havnt ridden a v-force i know that with the add-ons ive got the bike is about as "rippy" as a sport utility could be. for powerslides i would have to say that a p700 would be better. I love the brute but im a little biast.

BF 650 and P700 are my top choices so far! I sure wish they made a BF700 so I could get the snazzier new plastic. I wonder which is better at shielding the driver from mud? The
older Prairie plastic or the New BF plastic?

I don't have the new plastic on any of mine but to me it looks like it has about as good of protection as the old, and you also no longer have the somewhat flimsy fender extensions that the old type is known for having allot of cracking problems with. I would prefer the new plastic if I had the choice. With a few modds the BF650 can become just as fast as the P700. You will have the 500.00 you save by going with the BF650 to buy some of those modds with also.

How do you like that 800 FST you had done to your Twin Peaks?
