I retract my statement. I showed the picture to my dealer and he said it was similar to the one his sales rep showed him. My dealer is getting four of them in Sept. and 2 of the Sp500 h.o.x's. SORRY!

The picture is real, the 700 sportsman is real, everything is REAL! The pic was taken at Polaris HQ with a digital camera, thats why it doesn't appear perfect. No, that is no diesel motor, it is indeed the twin. As for the pull start, there is none on the machine. Double wishbone front suspention? Are you crazy!? Not on this machine, that sales rep. must be hearing from an unreliable source. Yes, there is onbly ONE exhaust pipe, they made a "Y" and turned it into one pipe right off of the engine. Mabye Polaris Industries Inc. gave the NASHVILLE dealer permission to post the pic as they wanted to stir up some action and believe me, it worked. Who is gonna buy it? ME! Yes, that "740" pound machine CAN outperform those twho other big, scary "monster quads"! This is for real, ther is no need to keep posting this junk all over about fake pics and about me lying!

A couple of things I noticed:

This is the Rocky Mountain King version which explains the rack extenders and the visco-lock front diff (look at the hubs). It also has larger tires than a normal Sportsman.

I'll only comment on what I can see.

I rode with a Kawasaki 650 last weekend, he in know way blew me away, in the mud he got stuck and had to be winched out were I drove right through, the SP has a better ride also, yes the 650 was faster and sounds great. The 700 will trounce all over it. Even if you put a 700 in the current frame, mine is a non HO, it would beat it speed wise to, it was not allot faster. It was a nice machine for sure though. Needed better tires and more ground clearance, that really hindered it.

Guys, that wasn't doctored a single bit. You'll see that a few days, and you'll look like an idiot!

Kevin, the SP700 doesn't use the Visco-Lok, it's got the same 4wd setup as the Ranger 4x4. That's why there is no hubs.

The SP700 also puts out more wattage for lights and winches, has a 30 amp battery, and all kinds of stuff. You'll see Monday.

trailblazer, check the last three words of quad_mans post, not trying to be mean, just pointing it out, it can be easily overlooked,
