Just traded in my 2004 Arctic Cat 500 auto for a new King Quad 700. The only bad thing about this was the dealer only had green, so I have to wait until Wed. of next week before its in. It was a toss up between the King and a Rincon. After driving both, the King had more features, power, and a lot smoother ride. I still can't believe the night and day difference between the new King and my year old AC. Best way to explain it is my AC is like driving an old vehicle without power steering compared to the King.

 

Good choice! That's quite a step up! Hope you like yours as much as I like mine!

 

congrats u just got or will get the best atv [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Welcome to the forums and much congratulations on the new machine! It's not the best at a few categories, but does exceptional in EVERY category. That, to me, is the mark of a truly well-rounded and awesome machine. You made a great choice!

 

I'm also picking up a new KQ next week. The dealer is setting it up next week and I'm picking it up on Thur. I ended up getting a red one. Would have preferred Camo, but that's not coming out until 06 and the deal was just too good for the 05.

I ride with a bunch of Griz nuts. There always bragging up their Griz's and how there is no other choice in ATV's. Can't wait to school them a little bit.

For those KQ riders with some time under their belts, any suggestions on a good tire? I ride fairly tight trails with a mix of obsticles (mud holes, downed trees, wash outs, steep inclines/declines and flat trails.

Is a 27 inch tire as wise choice or too much tire for the KQ? The KQ doesn't have the best ground clearance, so I thought I'd get some gains by going from the stock 25 to a 27. Any thoughts??????

 

great quads i love mine ive done all the mods . this kq is awsome you'll see im a heavy guy 350lbs and this baby will out run a griz with a guy half my size on it ..have fun...

 

If you don't mind my asking? How much did you have to put out for your new KQ? Did it come with a winch? There's a promotion on right now through Nov. lower financing or a winch.

 

They gave me $4,300 for my AC plus $2,700 to boot. I could have drove 6 1/2 hours and got one for $6,600, but they would only give my $3,500 for my trade. Where did you hear of the winch promotion, I asked dealer and searched Suzuki's web site and found nothing about the winch promotion.

 

I'm buying a demo model so I got a very good deal. I bought straight out with no trade in. They are advertising 2005 close out KQ's in MN for $6299.

 

here's the link to the promotion http://www.suzuki.ca/en/atv/offers.cfm?modelcode=lta7
