What happened to your Sp 700?

 

'03 700 Mossy-Oak has been sold!
two years ago i sold the same guy a red sportsman for him and his wife. he wanted to upgrade a few years so i sold him my '03 700.
everythig went with it-- the 60" Moose plow, 26" Bi/Tri Claws, Ram spotlight, cup holder and 2.5ci Warn winch.

now, concidering i've had 3 700s in a row, 1 '02 and 2 '03s, i think i want a change.

any ideas?

ANYONE?

If you liked your polaris why not stay with them.

 

Bill,
i liked my 700s but i just feel like a change.
had Spruce green, then black/silver, then Mossy-oak. change in the color isn't doing the trick.

i read the 600 has a little more zest off the line and in the mid-range than the 700, and that's perked my interest. i know the 700 has plenty of top-end, but that isn't the type of riding i do.

i also want a quad with long range capability. all 3 of my 700s i found to be very thirsty. i read somewhere that the 600s use about the same fuel as the 500s.

can anyone confirm good MPG on their 600s?

Well its your money I juess I just dont get it.With unemployment the way it is today how anyone could send there money over seas.I know my 700 has some parts made overseas.But I know alot more Americans are getting paychecks from polaris then anyother quad brand. But like I said its your money...

 

The 600 is snappier off the line and it has the awesome torque of it's big brother (700). I have a buddy with a 2002 and I really like the machine. The 600 will be my next machine.


The Rincon has front drum brakes which spoils it for me. I have friends with drum brakes and they are nothing but trouble if you ride in water deeper than 12". Disc are the way to go. I also hear the Honda does not have a LOW range which is a disadvantage for my type of riding.

 

Have you considered the new Kawasaki Pairie 700? I have test drove one at a local dealer and was amazed at the power. I could pull the fronts off the ground at almost any speed!!! This machine is a 4x4 monster! There are also a few 650 Prairies still around. Arctic cat is comming out with a new machine using the 650 Prairie motor and it looks pretty sporty and pretty mean. If you want a big machine like the Polaris the Arctic Cat might be for you then. Good Luck!

 

I get about 85 miles of good hard trail riding before I have to go on reserve on my 600, and with a heelclicker it it rocks[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I'd say go with the Polaris because the rincon is no better than a rubicon with 150 more cc, more actually the rincon has sucky breaks (the drum breaks) which makes the rincon a sucky downhiller more like you'd be in nuetral. So it makes it the worse quad to get and it's probably a much better buy than the rincon for speed wise i'm not too sure becuase of acceleration but hey i'd just agree with everyone else and say the sportsman is the better accelerator
