The V-force (aka: V turd) is just that...a big, slow, overpriced, example of Kawasaki engineering. Sorry , but it's true.

There's an unbiased opinion for ya. You should probably talk to someone who has actually driven one. It's quite fun in the sand, and that's where I spend my time. We have a piped Raptor and Banshee in the family. Those machines cant pass my stock V till they hit 5th gear. It's great in the sand. I dont know about dirt though, I dont drive in dirt.

Lets see, The V-Force weighs in at over 500 lbs, has a shaft drive and an automatic tranny and

is STILL competitive with the top dogs. Hmmmm, I'd say Kawasaki did one HELLOFA job in the engineering

department!

In a recent shootout between the rappy, DS650 and the predator and the V-force the V-force ranked last in 13 of 14 catagories. I dont know how you could get any worse. I guess if you werent trying to race everybody and you were a larger rider than it would be fine. But I dont know because like yo said ,I havnt owned one.

Its pretty funny how you believe everything you read in the magazines. If they had an article stating that your yfz450 had come in last in certain categories would you believe them? Would it change your opinion on your bike? Of course it wouldn't. I'm not saying that the V is better than any of those other bikes or any worse. All i'm saying is you should base your opinions on<u>your</u> experiences rather than others. I love my V, and wouldn't trade it for any other atv currently out there. Take that for what it's worth.

Well if I read in a cooking magazine that fish is the best food in 13 of 14 categories, I wouldn't go out and eat fish. Everybody has thier own taste. I like beef and nobody can tell me fish is better. The same thing goes for recreational vehicles.

The last sport shootout I saw, the banshee took dead last in 9/10 catergories. The review said that banshees have terrible low end power. (actually they have none) But banshees are not made for putting around, and so the reviewer missed the whole point of a banshee is for. Thats like driving a nascar and giving it a poor review due to the lack of trunk space. So taking a KFX700 on an MX track could be the same mistake. You have to look at what, where, and who the thing is made for.
