Hello all

For years I've been eyeing predators / outlaw IRS / outlaw S

I see the honda 700XX now, and those crazy expensive can ams
renegade/outlander

I really do no utility riding, just in the even a buddy needs a tow back...

I ride REALLY difficult trails 50% of the time, the rest is cruising trails

lots of mud ruts and hill climbs

We also have a track or 3 we made in the woods with jumps and
rail-turns and what not

I like to rip

I could use the clearance of the IRS models

what do yall think

I LOVE my 525 IRS. I find it more comfortable than my scrambler was and is overall easier to handle/control. I ride with two friends with 700R's and in the spring when it is slick they have a really hard time with sliding into the ruts and bottoming out. I have only had my IRS stuck 3 times, and all 3 times were because I pulled into something slow to check it out.

Stick with 4 wheel drive, unless you are blasting around in the sand, or wide open areas.
4 wheel drive is so nice when on a trail!
Stick with your Scrambler, or purchase a new one. I would eve say look at the Yamaha Wolverine (I know, I know, I said Yamaha!)

Bring your 300 to the trails here in Co and you will know what I mean by Trail machine. The Irs machines are great machines but heavy in comp to a 700R so the 700R allot easy'r to throw around on the trails esp while riding fast!

To each man his own but I own both a 4x4 and a sport machine and I will tell you that the 4x4 collects dust most of the time untill Hunting season comes around! Sport quads are just too much fun!

P.S I would take that bet anytime [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]!!!

Hey Dodge57Hemi "The Irs machines are great machines but heavy in comp to a 700R so the 700R allot easy'r to throw around on the trails esp while riding fast! "

Is that talking about the 525? Because the 525 is the same weight as the 700R... so have you even ridden a 525 or just talking out your ***?
