Good info guys

I really like the looks of the V, but I'm thinking the P700 would be the right ride for me. I'll keep you posted!

 

You say you like the looks of the V. So do I, kind of mean and orangey looking.

Think of the P700 and the V as women....the P700 is a down home red neck woman....the orange V is an uptown woman, fast and flashy. Which one can you depend on out in the boonies? The P700. Which one do you ride with your pards to the honky tonk. The V. Whatcha gonna be doin' the most and what are the consequences if something unexpected happens.

The preceding is a little hokey I know, but I've been a long way from warm and havin' to push the throttle with my palm cause I didn't plan ahead (same as not having some place to store stuff). On the ride I'm thinkin' of, we had 48 quads and 50 people on Memorial Day mountain blizzard, and I'd say about a quarter of them couldn't ride back to camp. When we finally got to a road, we built those 15 or 20 people a big fire, went back to camp and got trailers, vehicles, went back and got them. One guy run off the trail asleep with hypothermia, thin leather gloves, no coat. Everybody was in love with their muffler when we stopped occasionally.

Just as every other guy on this thread has said, a man has to know his (bike's) limitations. Do you drive a sports car or a pickup?

(I know, the b/s is excessive but graphical)

 

I had both a Kodiak 400 and a VForce, and wanted 1 quad that would do it all. I sold the Kodiak, traded the V for a Prairie 700, and have never looked back. The P has a relatively sporty ride with the SRA, and the acceleration is not far behind the V. I once had a kid on a sport quad ask me if I wanted to "run that tractor". I smoked him on my camo workhorse.

 

Kawiyowee...That is freaking funny. Never even considered that comparison. Hmmm.....Any recommendations for a quad with the following "Wants":

Low Maintenance
Over inflated tires
Always ready for a good ride
Extremely Quiet

Too funny.

As for the other part, I'm definitely a truck guy. But I love burnouts, cookies in an open grassy field, and catching air off of a jump. Guess that puts me in a 4x4 Utility that can handle the stress of my big butt. I'm definitely leaning toward the P700....With some bigger tires and wheel spacers to give it that sport quad look!

Thanks guys!

My dad's P650 is quick, even with 27' mudlites on it. It is a very sporty quad for what it is. sounds like the P700 is for you most definately.
