both good. you will hear "EFI" a bunch here, but my 650i has not been rejetted, and runs great to over 10,000 feet. i have "read" the plugs and i'm running medium brown on the plugs and have no sputters, ect... so IMO EFI is not gonna be an issue.

but it is still gonna be a tough choice. i love the 650i, but i have ridden with the Polaris and they do a great job. i can't fault them at all.

The 4WD is pretty solid on mine so far along with everything else. I dont think you can go wrong with either one. I am not a big Polaris fan. They are solid quads though. If I were going to do it again I would still get the 650i. Tons of fun. I get a big smile on my face every time I jump on the seat.

The 650i will outrun the sp700. i believe if your concerned about power. But they are both decent quads

I have to seat and get the feel of the 650i I sat on the sportsman and the seat was really good I will wait till the 07 polaris models are out.

Can't go wrong with either one, but find out the weight difference before you buy. No problems so far with the 4x4, nor have I heard any reported. kk

you have to roll to put it in 4x4 on the kawi. the po po you dont

the kawi has limited slip up front and diff lock when you need it.

po po has good front diff but no manual lock. the front wheels kick in once the back slip and if you ask me, i'd rather not slip climing a technical muddy hill. plus the kawi cost less and will outrun the po po 700.

po po is good if you want a nice ride. kawi is good if you want to do donuts, powerslides and outrun your buddies on their polaris 700 or 800!

both brute forces will outrun any polaris!
