Is the extra power of the 700 worth the extra cash over the 450 everything else is the same ant thoughts on these two quads, is the gas mileage close on these two or is the 700 a gas hog

 

My riding partner just bought the new 700 Grizzely and I bought the 450 King Quad ($6800.00) camo, we do a lot of gnarly trail riding with very little roads,his only complaint is gas milage other wise he loves his ride,it uses twice the fuel that the 450 does,however it also flat blows the Suzuki away,who would of thought that,a 700 kickin a 450. The fuel injected 450 just has a lever to pick up the idle for real cold starts,for 10 to 15 seconds only,let put that one to rest.

 

Nothing against the 450, but for only a couple more hundred dollars, the 700 is the way to go. but it's up to you and what you are going to be doing, not only do I play on mine but I also work with and it's nice having those exta cc's. The 700 is by far not a gas hog, out of all the other big bores that I ride with, (Can-am,Polaris, Brute,) it gets the best mileage hands down, and the other owners of the other bikes notice it also.

 

make sure u get new skid plates for ur king quad. i wenr over a log and it went through my skid plate and broke my crank case. 850 for the crank case not including labor.

 

I recommend the 700. As for what was stated previous, For the few extra bucks the 700 is far worth it.
