I've owned a TP700 and now I own a KQ. If I had to choose one, I would definitely choose the TP700 over the KQ. Being a power freak, the KQ just doesn't cut it. Get the TP, I think it's still the best utility available today.

 

Being a Banshee rider I would bet you still like to ride agressively,with that in mind I would go with the TP/Prairie.
I really think there are swingarm guys and IRS guys (IMO before everyone freaks out[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]) If you like to ride trails fast and having more gound clearance is not that important than I would get a swingarm machine. I too was one of the ones drooling for a KQ but after riding the Prairie more and more I just think my style of riding still fits a swingarm bike.The efi would be nice although there are posts on here about guys saying this one is hard to start when real cold and it is most likely the way of the future but other than that it's IRS or not.Before I looked at a Vinson or anything else in that price raneg now I would look at the Bf 650.With what they have that thing priced at the the Vinson just is not a good buy at all now considering what you get.
Soooooooo...if you want a smooth ride (not that the Prairie rides that bad) get the KQ...otherwise I would get the bf650/tp700/p700 most of the guys I ride with are 40 and over and we feel fine even after 80 plus miles of riding. Good luck
