This thread is like a soap opera, it's only remotely entertaining, but it kinda sucks you in and you just can't stop reading. How about we all just be glad that manufacturers are making more quads than ever, instead of worrying about what they are making. Kawi can do what they want, the Predator will still be the King!

 

Well, if a 700 beats a Raptor and weights 22.5% more, it must at least be making 22.5% more power. Plus it beat it by 2 lengths you say?
35*122.5=42.87 HP. If the 700 won by a couple lengths, add a couple HP. 46 sounds reasonable to me.

 

Can we call it "As the Wheel Turns", sucks you in just like a Beagle honing in on your tire's valve-stem. Offy15, I also agree, that post is funny....Predator Proud, and Screaming Sport!!

 

It's kind of funny I stumbled onto this forum. I own a 96 scrambler 400 4X4 that I'm pretty happy with, it seems to be a good trade-off between the Quadracer's I used to play with, and my Dad's Sportsman. I've also been looking at a KFX400 as a second quad, I'd like something quicker for roadblasting on all the abandoned logging roads at camp. The local dealer here hasn't gotten a 700 in to look at yet, but I was thinking for ripping around on the bush roads, and pipeline riding(dirt road with insane hills) that the 700 might be a little more amusing. I'm not hell bent on racing performance any more, but I still like things to happen when I hit the gas. I'm more inclined to buy a Kawasaki because the dealer's level of customer service blows away the competition here in town.
If anyone's interested I'm from Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada, just a couple hours north of Duluth, Minn. We have tons of awesome riding here, anything from the TransCanada Pipeline, thousands of miles of unused logging roads, Canada's Adventure Trail snowmachine trails, thousands of gravel pits all over the place.

 

Is this "EXTREME AIR" enough? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]


KFX700 BIG AIR 1
KFX700 BIG AIR 2
KFX700 BIG AIR 3

I'm thinking that's not too bad for a 550lb "Scrambler Wannabe."

 

Try that on a Scrambler and you will have 3 broken welds, a snapped swingarm, a snapped chain and a busted transmission case.

Is that the 45ft. tabletop 400exTN was talking about?

 

I believe so, you can view all of his Pics, by going here: KFX700 Photos
Be sure and check out both pages.

 

Bigfoot also jumped a 747, looked a little like that

I'd like to see video of that landing and also video of regular sport quads doing the same jump, most likely you would "notice the weight"

 

What goes up....must come down. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Hopefully with the rubber side down.

 

Those were shots of repeated jumps, not one jump from different angles.
