In the DirtWheels shootout, I noticed that they broke the 800's grill when setting up the bumper to bumper shot. The 700 is just better looking, too.

I am with PITOU that does seem odd that your KQ is outrunning the SP800. Maybe there is something wrong with your SP. I would wait till June to see what all the MFG are upping the anti to, the BB class of sport utes is sure to heat up even more in 2006 models.

It shouldn't really be a mystery why the K.Q. is out running the Polaris. Weight! Basically, all of these "Sportsman H.O.'s" have abiout a pound per cc. With the 800, that is like driving a battleship through the woods. Why boost the engine size if you are going to increase weight? As an American company, Polaris feels that "bigger is better". Wrong. As has been discussed many times...the K.Q. handling and feel is superior to almost everything out there.

I feel the same way!

After one last ride on both last night (just to be sure, LOL) there is no doubt which is more fun. Needles to say it's on the truck today.
