It looks nice. You can tell it hasn't been trashed which means a lot in the used atv world. I would go take it for a spin.

What do you have now?

Just got back- I bought it! It was a 6 hour round trip drive but- I had a smile on my face the whole way back! It's in beautiful shape, very tight. I'll be replacing the tires soon with some 27" mudlites.
He gave me a plow, brand new tire chains and extra air filters as well- Not bad for $3k huh?
This beast is tons more powerful then my 99 TRX300fw! The KQ will actually wheelie pretty easily. I'll have to get used to not shifting, my foot keeps looking for the shifter!
I'm a little weary about all the electronics in it tho- EFI, electric fan, digital dash and push button 4x4- it'll really suck if that stuff starts breaking! I'd be nervous about taking it through a deep puddle with all the hi-fi on it! The four wheel independent susp is sweet, and I've never had an EFI fuel injected ATV before- I sure hope Suzuki worked out the bugs before assembling this machine! The largest ATV I've ever owned was a 400- This 700 rocks!

Anyone know what kind of HP these EFI 700's are producing?

The KQ 750 puts out just under 50 so the 700 is likely 46 to 48 or so.

All you need.

Seems kind of low to me- I was told my honda 300fw put out about 32-36 hp. I figured a 700EFI would at least double that... but I have nothing to base that assumption on. Unless the guy who told me I had 36 hp in my 300fw was hitting the sauce (which could very well be the case, knowing this guy

This from a current Can-Am ad - seems to be in line with other test reports of some of the big bore HP numbers:

Outlander 800R - 71
Sportsman XP850 - 69.1
AC Thundercat - 65.8
Brute Force 750 - 49.8
King Quad 750 - 49.6

anyone know anything about these ++HP Dyno-Boost Adjustable Performance Chips?
They claim to add up to 15-30 hp to the KQ 700efi motor...
