although it may have been a joke i was serious the 700 is terrible

 

Free speech is alive and well. To test this theory, go somewhere on your property and yell, at the top of your lungs, whatever it is you want to get across, that is your right. Now, When you come into a forum that you do not own, free speech is not a right, its a privelige! Dont abuse it or action will be takin again..This is a commercial enterprise that is trying to cater to the general ATV enthusiast, kids are enthusiasts as well.

Thanks,

P.S. Keep up the name calling as well...

 

Sometimes it is hard to find anything funny or relaxing when someone is degrading your quad. Turn the tables, and you will see what I mean. Just as there are many die-hard Kawi 650 fans, there are many fans of all models from all the manufacturers......from the Suzuki Quadsport 80 to the Kawi Bayou 220, even the Honda 110 3-wheelers. There is not a quad made that I couldn't think of a few improvements that could be made, and it's ok with me to state a quad's faults, but deliberate bashing with no real basis is of a childish mentality.

Andy,
What is the post in the Polaris forum you are speaking of? Just curious. Who posted it?

 

Same guy posted it, and it got deleted too.

You should have been here like 3 years ago when there wasn't even a profanity blocker and you could bash till your eyes bled. I will admit, it was pretty fun, but its not really condoned anymore, and you can get blackballed just for agreeing with the humor of it.

I can see where you might make some valid points about a couple things on the 700, but its pretty obvious that the quad in general is really good. If you bought one and it crapped out on you, then you could really say it sucks and actually have some justification.

 

Well lovimy650 i think you lost it becouse of your childesh bashing. It may be fun but hay its a puplic fourm. I have to say my 700 is a lot better that a 650. have a nice day.

Well if your in my hometown then maybe we should see whose got the better machine. I can't figure out who you are I know just about every person that has a 700 in Mapleton. Tell me when you bought yours and I'll be able to tell who you are. And if you want to have a bit of a race then just let me know when and we could meet on the railroad bed just up from the tressel.

 

so luvinmy650,
i dont race becouse i have seen the horor stories. I would like to state though that i have seen your 650 i know who you are i wont say it out loud on the fourum unless you give me prosion, but tell me when you check next. I still say the 700 is the king of all quads. Have a nice day agin.

 

I'll join in on the "bashing",

My friend just bought a SP700 and a Raptor. Of course I told him that I could beat his 700 in a drag but would get spanked by the Raptor, exactly the results. I did have a chance to ride it for quite a while.

Here are some of my observations on the SP700:

Feels alot taller and seems to be alot tippier because it's higher, longer, and has the Independent Rear. I also noticed that the Gas tank was high up.

Does not generate as much torque as the 650 especially at real low RPM in High or Low Range. There were places that I can barely give my 650 gas and I can crawl over them, but on the SP700 you almost have to get at half throttle before you move anywhere.

Low Range has a lame top speed.

If you are in 4WD reverse you only get the rear spinning unless you hold the rev limiter/4wd-on?!

Has AWD instead of 4WD with Diff Lock.

Has a lame speedo and a lack of usefull info: no gas meter, no clock, no buttons to push to change modes.

Has a really cool car-like ignition.

Has really Stiff gear changes.

Stock tires are better than the cheezy dunlops but are still 2-Ply

In the Drag, the Prairie pulls harder and of course is faster, but it also has a higher top speed. I was only able to get up to 60MPH with my tirez and I was still quite a ways ahead.

Prairie still is the best sounding utility quad around.

Handle Bars didn't seem to be positioned properly, too low.

Has the "front" brake/4 wheel brake on the left side instead of the right side like every: dirt bike, sport quad, and motorcycle.

Ohh yeah one more thing, its a nightmare trying to get un-stuck, my friend who ownes it hurt his back.


Raptor Observations:

Silly Fast.
Seems to grab right away.
Lots of torque.
Screwy Reverse Gear.
Silly Fast.

 

damn this is good your both from the same town this could be interesting. Im sure luvinmy650 is out lookin for 700's right now, oh ya how fast does a 700 go it just seems like they put to much power in this one. It can haul loads but other then that?? What else
