Can anyone tell me the amount of effort to turn the handle bars on the 650 Praire and how many miles per gallon it gets on each tank of fuel?
Thanks

I've only ridden one once but was very impressed by the ease of steering. It "feels" like a much smaller machine. When it was in 3-wheel drive mode (4-wheel drive without the front diff being locked) I noticed a bit of tourque-steer. I'm not used to this because of the Polaris all-wheel drive system on the machine I normally ride. Don't get me wrong, it's not like it tried to take the bars out of my hands, but you could certainly tell that only one of the front wheels was pulling.

In another post, someone said they are getting 75 miles per tank.

Can't wait to get one for myself!

I dont know what the gas mileage is. Where we ride there is always a gas station that we can drive up to to get gas.
I find it very easy to turn, But its the first 4 wheel drive I have had. The only other 4 wheel drive that I rode is the 660 Grizzly, which is also very easy to steer.

Slot,
How does the 650 handle the bumps and turns at speed compared to the Grizzly. I may be picking up the 650 today, but I haven't driven either yet. Can you clear this up for me? Thanks.
