This was in another forum.
TEXMudder raced a Sp700 yesterday with ihs Grizzly 660. The Griz had 74 miles on it and the Sp700 had 250+ miles on it. SO yes an unbroke-in griz beat a broke in sp700.Well, I was at the ride in Athens, TX today and there was a SP700. It was a cool quad and I learned a ton about it. The dude owns a Polaris dealership. I will say it has the most aggressive stock tires I have seen!! Well we drag raced. Our 660 is bone stock and has about 74 miles on it. His 700 was bone stock and has 250+ miles on it. I beat him by a quads length from 0-50 MPH...then we ran out of room. The race was on a
grass pasture. There were 5 witnesses to this

I was there riding with TEXmudder and witnessed this event. I was realy surprised, I thought the SP would take the Grizz off the line but it didnt, the Griz was in front the whole time.

Well said 3TV....well said. BUT....whoever is buying one of these quads to drag is clearly an idiot. Incase I run into a 700 on the trails, it is good to know[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I think the sportsman would pull ahead of the grizzly when they could get on their top ends because thats where an inline twin gets a lot of power at. The grizzly was only ahead by just a little, its back was where the front of the sportsman was. They only could get up around 50 mph.

I'm waiting to see what a Scrambler 700 will do to the Grizzly or the Kawasaki.

A 700 Scrambler would outrun them, but its also not really much of a comparison. Probably would be chain driven and not much of a utility. Now if you happened to see a 660 Wolverine or 650 Mojave(two quads that will never be made by yamaha or kawasaki), that would be a different story.
