Default Scrambler 500 compared to the V-Force?

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if I could get some of your opionions comparing these two machines. I presently own a KFX700 and although I'm very happy with it there's times I would enjoy something alittle more on the lighter side. I love the automatic transmission on the V-Force and would not want to go back to a manual clutch so comparing auto sport quads, these two seem to be the two top choices. I learned to ride on a Blaster many years ago and although I'd fit on one today about as good as I would on my kids trycycle, I miss being able to throw it around like I remember doing on the Blaster. Thanks in advance for your input. Rich

well, they both have the cvt tranny

the scrambler has a chain in the rear, and shaft in the front

the scram is heavy also

the big difference is the scrammy is 4x4 (unless you get a 2x4)

i would say that you are barking up the wrong tree if you want a lighter quad that you can flick around

Don't let the hp numbers fool you. Its all in how you get it to the ground. Clutching clutching clutching!

The VForce will smoke a 500 Scrambler but now if you go with an older 400 Scrambler and put a few mods to it you would have a monster.I know because I have both.The 400 can beat the 700 VForce when they are piped,clutched and ported.

I agree if you dont need 4x4 go with a 400 2x4 and mod it , the handleing wont be as good as a V but it'll be fast.
The v is still your best bet for a sport auto until Polais comes out with the next Generation Scrambler!

Thanks for the comments guys, I'll stick to my V right now and see what the future holds. The way the manufactures are releasing models these days, who knows.
I guess what I'm asking for is a TRX450R with a CVT tranny but I won't hold my breath. Now a redone scrambler, that sounds like more of a possibility, thx again, Rich
