Honestly if I would of bought the SP700 as my first buy I would
of never traded up for the 800. My cousin bought his 700 when I
bought my 800. We both were very happy in some moments at
the dealer shop I considered several times to go with the 700
and use money for things I need (Accessories). But I got my eye
on that Stealth and that is all she wrote. Not too mcuh diff from
the 800 to 700, you have one powerful machine, My cousin
eats me up on the trails, faster holeshot it would seem, or
maybe I am just slow, LOL...LOL

and the rest of the machine last so long because the rider cannot ride it that much because the suspension is a design from 1992, IE it kicks your *** while riding it.</end quote></div>

lol the suspension may not break but you might

 

yeah the funniest thing was that the guy that had the honda went on and on about how he loved the hondas so much because they are always ahead of the curve. lol lmao He went on and on about the fi like no one else made a bike with fi before honda. lmao He didn't have much to say about suspension, though. Like I said before: If you want the ride of a caddy, buy a popo. If you want he ground clearance of a caddy, buy hondu. Thanks for the support guys.

 

actually, the best honda that's forsale has only 10 inches of ground clearence, i'm pretty sure, the polaris 500 even has it beat with the ground clearence, so i think you should take honda out of that equation. lol

 

guess you didn't get the joke. I am saying that the caddy is low to the ground. so is the hondu. Sorry guess it made more sense to me.

 

KUKERDAN-lol they have the trash

Man ur one to talk you have a 96 scrambler

The 700 is a great machine

 

Ignore the silly little boys. Next thing, they"ll want to play "Mine is bigger than yours".

If they want to be the fastest gun in town, doesn't last long. Always somebody faster.

 

It sounds like someone is jealous of your twin cylinders. How can it be trash with performance like that? The only problem my friend has so far with his 700 is a broken rear A-Arm bolt. He's only had it 3-5 years so maybe something else will go wrong some day. We shouldn't be jumping the big utes but do and the bolts break. Just check them all once in awhile.

 

It is only a piece of crap if you think it is.

 

I don't think it is a piece of crap, but I do acknowlage that my popo 700 does require more maint. than a honda. I owned a honda and all you had to do is keep oil and gas in it and it runs. But, this is a whole different machine. It has so much more power and a great ride. I have raced cars and I know that the higher strung a car is, the more power it has, the more you have to work on it to keep it running. I have rode hondas forever and this is my first popo, but unless I come upon a really good deal on a honda, I intend on being a popo owner for life. My bike is so strong compared to a honda(yes, even a 680 rincon). I love my bike. I just didn't know if there was some things about this bike that was infamous for breaking. Guess not. Thanks for all the encouragement.
