The 700P has the most horsepower and torque of any atv made. Read all the dealer info 1st before you mouth off. But you probably never took physics, much less know what the study of physics is. Here, let me help you spell it....P...H...Y...S...I...S. There you go, good job. It is so funny when poor-o-larris guy's start crying. They tend to try to make themselves feel better by saying they have the best and most reliable. It is like standing on a train track while a train is approaching and closing your eyes and say, "I know I can knock that train off.....I know I can....I know I can." You see ms. sp600tonkytoyboy, sometimes we as humans want to believe something so hard, that we ignore the truth.

And how is that horse comparison even close? I did take Physics, thank you. If you would have taken reading comprehension, you might be able to make your point a little clearer. I think you, my friend, might even need to go back to kindergarden, to count. I only have 1 four-wheeler. Unless you know that mine can pull LIKE 7 horses compared to your 1. OK, so you DO get it then. And BTW, what dealer info did I not read? I didn't say mine was the most powerful, I said that I could drag you and your quad around, which you didn't deny. Does this make mine better than yours? In the pulling department it certanly does. Why? Is it because it weighs 120 lbs. more and has better factory tires? Well that certainly has something to do with it, but it is still stock! And stock for stock you can't touch it for what it was designed to do. Can it out perform you in the mud? Yes again. Why again? Maybe it's the weight and tires and suspension. But, it does what it was designed to do, and does it well! The better quad isn't always the fastest or most powerful. My 600 might only have 43 horsepower, but it gets it's job done just fine. I'm not saying that I have the best or the most reliable, but it is the best for me, it has been reliable, and it's mine.
And what's up with the train track analogy? You make no sense!

Having rode all the quads on your list except the Bomb 500. I would pick the Vinson, nice ride real sporty and can hold it's own against the big bores. Possibly the best handing utilty quad on the market. Plus it is IMO the best looking utility quad, I also like the light on the handle bars.

heh....that one is simple. i dont have any brand loyalty. im loyal to performance and because of that i can talk/debate the good and bad points of any machine without feeling threatened or getting angry if someone points out a weakness in any machine i happen to own.
i see so much brand loyalty in the ATV forums anymore that it spoils the quality of information. someone will describe what they want to do with a quad and ask which will be the best quad for them and theyll get a dozen different recommendations from people who are recommending a quad just because they happen to own one. i can respect differing opinions but i have no tolerance for bad information....especially when its bad information based in pure ignorance and brand loyalty.
many need to step back and realize that the best quad for them wont be the best quad for someone else whos needs are totally different. many also need to realize that the quad they own isnt necessarily the best quad for themselves even, and stop recommending it just because they happen to own one and are pleased with it.
the great thing about todays atv industry is that there is something for everybody. since im a dedicated rock crawler i prefer the arctic cat line. its superior ground clearance and suspension travel performs best in the rocks and extremely rough terrain. the grizzly is also a great choice for rock crawling, especially if you disconnect the rear sway bar. these serve my needs and i recommend them to rock crawlers, but i realize these wouldnt be the best choices for other riding styles so i dont recommend them to others. if i were looking for a mudder i would shop (and recommend where applicable) the polaris line as i feel their system works well in mud. if i were looking for something sporty or a work quad (solid rear axle) i would shop (and recommend) the kawasaki line as theyre loaded with power. i could go on and on about the good/bad points of each machine but thats not the point im trying to make. my point is that your recommendations to others should be based in fact, not brand loyalty.
