Default Getting my V Force tonight!

Picking up a green one. Think I'm really going to enjoy this quad. Don't think it will be as fast as my Banshee, but that's ok. The Banshee has a ride unlike anything else. I bought a first year Prarie and haven't had any problems with that, so I feel safe getting the V Force. I know I'm going to enjoy a sport quad with a reverse gear!

Classic cycle will go down as far as $6660.00 out the door, that includes tax and everything. Right now they are all out. They are expecting more on Monday. Ask isn't dealing on these yet.

got my Vforce last Friday ..... wonderful day in the woods Sat.

I also have a P650 .... pipes / jets/ K&n/ 27" Dirt Devils....
I love that bike .... or at least I used too !

If you like your p650 ... you are going to love your Vforce !

I rode my Vforce for about 3 hours Sat ... then got on the p650.
It felt like the tires were flat on p650 !

Here in Akron, the going price is $6739 with tax and title.

Are you going to the "Rumble on the Ridge" this month??

So far the V Force is great! Haven't had it off-road yet. Just putting around the neighborhood breaking it in easy. It's very comfortable and doesn't wheelie as easily as I've heard. I also have plenty of ballast (240 lbs.) to prevent wheelies. I don't care if it beats a Raptor or not and I don't ever go full speed so I don't care about top speed. I got mine at Competition Accessories in Springfield for 6,589.00 out the door. Not sure if I'll go to the Rumble on the Ridge or not. I spend all my free time at Camp Ohio in the Wayne Nat'l Forest.

Does that price include the tax ???

I am planning to be at the Rumble on the Ridge in March

about that breaking it in easy .... for me that means "don't roll it over" [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Hey Bruce it sounds as if you and I have about the same riding style and attitude towards the new KFX700. I could care less if it's the fastest thing out there, it sure is fun to ride.

I just picked up my VForce today and was able to take it for an hour or so break-in ride. I only opened it up once to see what it would do and it didn't let me down. I found that even if I lean over the front end with all my upper body the front end still lifts off the ground and I need to back out of the throttle to keep it from flipping over. Almost flipped it once but hit the rear brake in time.

It lifts very easy when you get traction, probably too easy cause that makes it tough to launch hard. Someone said somewhere that it will wheelie while doing 40 mph by just blipping the throttle, well I'm here to tell you guy's, it won't do it. This thing stays planted and just hauls butt. It never really did feel heavy to me even when slding corners, it just tracks in the direction you point it and pulls hard.

So far it's a dandy, I did feel that at times the bike would pull to the left when you really lean on the throttle depending on traction the brakes are nice, it stops real good. For now I have no idea how fast these things are but the power is there and the potential for more is just green backs away for those that want more. For me it feels just about right for this old body and my riding style.

if you can't get it up at 40 you must be to damn OLD!!!!!!just joking with ya'll. my 700 will pull the wheels at all most any speed, and its not just me i've let a few buddies ride it and they can do it too. hell this thing reminds me of my gsxr 1000 bike. you can throw your feet over the handle bars and ride wheelies or you can stand up on it and ride themas far as you can!!!
