I want the street legal v-twin Victory quad with the 1507 CC engine.

Rest assured the 700 twin is coming. I have heard that there is still some experimenting going on with mapping out the torque curve for ATV applications. What do you think guys? February 28th for the announcement on the 700 twin?

Im sure its gonna be here one day... but I still think that they will ride the wave of the H.O.
Lets face it.. theres nothing that can compete against the H.O. Sportsman... The Grizz may be slightly faster in a straight line in dry trails, but that ALL changes as soon as you hit mud, hills, or try and stop..(Yamaha brakes are a joke)
I just don't think that The Law oughta wait for the 700 to come out.... LAW, go ahead and get the H.O. 500.... Throw some ITP billet wheels and 28" Outlaws on that thing and kick some serious a$$.

ATVING, you guessed right, i do have a locked Honda. But to tell you the truth, it steers very easily! the Vamps really helped out in steering versus 26x11 biclaws...I will wait till the convention from what everyone is saying now! man i would LOVE to have a 500 HO, then just imagine a 700!!!!!

i agree with mudmachine

law, get the sp500H.O its a great machine and will be a big difference over your honda 300. the sp700 is for people that want bragging rights and have to have the biggest machine. the sp700 will be much more expensive, but if your nieghbor has a sp500h.o this is the only machine that will out do it.

later

I think an Xpedition 500 HO would be cool. I wish Polaris would try putting dual a-arms on the front too.

What is the gas mileage of the SP500HO gonna be? 30 miles per tank? I know the Scrambler 500HO is a gas hog.

The fuel milage won't be any worse than a Rubicon. I mean we are talking 6mm bigger carb. Not a pair of webber down drafts.

I can get 130 miles on a tank on my 00 sp500. It is impossible to put double a-arms on Macpherson struts. Did you know that many cars including the hefty priced BMW used them. And guess what that is sopossed to be the smoothest ride in the world.

I mean I wish they would put double a-arms on some of their machines instead of the struts. That would not only be stronger, but would make the machine turn easier.

Rangerchet,i have to disagree with you about the Polaris 5 speed being the best.I test rode an Xpedition 425 and it was not nearly as smooth as my Honda.Even the guy that swapped me quads said that the Rancher was much smoother and only being 329cc had more power.The Polaris shifted like an old Harley !!
