I can't get that link to come up. However, I truly hope this is a joke post! If so, Ford owns GM also

What r the torque ratings for all of them? I'm curious to see what the difference is between the 2 cyl. vs single cyl.

I have not done the extensive research on the torque ratings as I have on the hp. However, I can tell you the twins have much more torque than the singles, and the V-twins have more than the parallel twins. With this being said the prarie 650 which is actually a 633cc v-twin produces more torque and at a much lower rpm than the KQ700 695cc single. I believe I even read somewhere the new Outlander 500 v-twin produces more torque than the KQ 700 and Grizz 700. Those Rotax v-twins are second to none in the hp and torque department. Kawasaki has their stuff together in this department as well, but really needs to update their current setup, with the carbs and all. Imagine what Polaris could have done if they had got Fuji to design their twins, and even more if they'd made it a v-twin as opposed to the parallel like the liberty!

The 760 sportsman has 54hp at the crank bf has 51hp at the crank. I have rode both and liked the sportsman torque better the the bf 750. people having to many problems out of the outlanders so wasn't a choice for me. As for foreign parts on polaris atvs there are some but for most they are American made even the fuji motor are influenced by Polaris R&D. Harley Davidson has foreign parts on them.

I am using a older Magellan Gold model..It works well..It has excellent maps..Even for NS Canada. It's shows a lot of the old roads that are now just trails.
I got the package deal ,the map software came with the GPS..A friend bought a Garmin E-trex about the same time and we compared them and his maps weren't as detailed as mine also his lost connection alot and left gaps in the trail...This was a few years ago not sure how the newer ones compare..Mine takes AA battery's...I just carry extra in case they get low ..the new one have a dedicated battery so you need to charge it if it get low,hard to do if your out on the trail !!
I don't know what I would do without my GPS..we are traveling a lot of new trails and it would be easy to get lost . Later I download the tracks to my computer and view it that way..Love my GPS
