i have a z400 and i'm looking for another quad. i will use it for climbing hills and playin around on. i've ridden a banshee but never had the chance to ride a v-force.

 

What kind of hillclimbs? I found out the hard way a few months ago at Glamis that modded shee's absolutely dominate KFX 700 in the sand. The lighter weight of the Banshees rally make all the difference in that environment. In the hardpack however, a well tuned V can handle it's own against a shee. They are both really fun, but if your a top speed freak, the shee would be the way to go.

 

the hills around me are not all that big. more straight up than long. i'm looking more for the all around fun factor. i love my z but when it comes to mud and water it stinks.

 

Id go with a V then, a shee would probably suck worse than the Z in water and mud. In my opinion the V is probably one of the best suited trail sport quads because of the ground clearance and its "muddability" factor.

 

Why not get the BF650 or prairie750? Since you mention mud and water, these quads are the sportiest of the utility quads and when you need 4wd, it is at you finger tips and when you want to do sport riding, you can with these.

 

Yep, what he said^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Don't forget the Polaris Scrambler 500. It has plenty of power, has 4-wheel at the touch of a button and they can be highly modded for cheap.

 

You are very true. I forgot that the scrambler 500 is a sport 4x4.

 

the polaris imo doesnt handle as well as the kawi. And its down alot on power.

 

Basset,

I agree with you, the V-force has way more power than the Scrambler. I am actually looking to get a V-Force next year and get rid of the Preddy, but I am also buying a Sportsman 700 or 800 for the really muddy season. The scrambler gives you best of both worlds and it really can be modded to hang with a V-force power wise, but handling I have it to give it to the V, but then again all depends on your riding and what is comfortable to you.
