V-Force owners, tell me how much you love your ATV! How easy is it to pop wheelies, Topend speed, how is the auto tranny, ETC I saw one the other day and it looks like a awesome machine!

It is an awesome machine ..... wicked quick and fast ..... do not allow an amature learn on this bike !!!! It will lift the front end at will, up to about 25 mph .... with a little practice, it will carry the front end for about 150 feet under full excelleration..... Love the tranny .... it is always in the "right" gear,
Just "point and shoot" ....( just be sure you have it aimed right before you pull the trigger !!!!)

Not as fun in the sand as the old 250s but better in every other way.

Have only had two break in rides in the field next to our neihborhood, and can say I feel I bought the right bike. Big enough for a tall guy but stable in tight turns throwin a big roost. I just ordered my paddle rims so I will let you know how it does in the dunes.

And warn your friends before they ride or you will be buying new plastic.

At 20 hours I was thinking of selling my force but after 3 days of chasing a cannondale around the mountains at hatfield/mccoy I wouldn't think of parting with it. The machine do ROCK! Talk about Versatile! and comfortable and fast and stable and able to handle the rough terrain at WFO!! ArgArgArg! love it!

MJ90745....I agree.

My friend is new to the ATV thing and he bought a fully loaded Raptor off the showroom floor. He definately dosen't use the full potential of the quad.

I let him ride my V at Wichester...It wasn't but a few minutes and he had it on it's side.

His comment was that it was decievingly fast.....But he loved it.

No broken plastic...Just a shorter flag.

This just isn't funny. Same here, let a buddy ride my never turned over 700 and within 5 minutes he had hooked the trailside and highsided hard ( I think pegging the gas the whole way). Bent wheel, trashed tierod, bent stem, plastic doesn't fit quite right, he had a tennis ball size egg along his collar bone within minutes-really thought he had dislocated his shoulder/collar,,,something,, no such luck!!! Just a little bent up 700 and a really beat-up buddy. He WILL be buying all new parts though,, as soon as they're available.
Moral of the story: DON'T LET YOUR FRIENDS RIDE YOUR NEW 700
This bike is deceptively fast ( I know its been said before) and even more deceptively hard to slow down at that rapidly approaching corner!!!!

Sorry to hear about your V-Force make sure you check your lower front spar that holds your A arms they have a way of getting bent, best of luck.

Yeah, I've crawled all over it trying to find something obvious. Nothing jumps out at me though. I'm still checking it out and won't have a chance to ride until the weekend. Where are the ones that are bending, bending at? I've got this one tweaked back close to normal.

I learned my lesson about letting some ride mine also ...... inspite of my repeated warnings.... within minutes he
stood it on end.... bent the grab handle, broke the tail light, and cracked the rear plastic. $310 in total.

I will not let anyone on the this bike in the future, that hasn't had experence on a simular quad ...... If they don't
have that experence..... they ain't gettn' it on my KFX !!!
