One thing bout big bore quads is that they are a littlie more forgiving of minor mistakes. If you get into a mess they can get you out. The problem is they compound major mistakes.

The diff in weight between the 400 class and the 700 class is minimal (bout 60 lbs) but the power diff is Phenomonal (???)!!! OG just picked up the 650 last night and when I rode it all I could say is WOW!!!!! Coming out of the creek the front wheels hardly touched the ground. On my 400 I generally run with my thumb pegged, but on the Prairie you need to modulate the throttle. It goes so fast that you need to start slowing down sooner cause yer going so much faster.

Today we'll start hopping er up a lil. We have the black spring and 589s off the p360. Then we'll get some more metal on the bottom. On the 360 He backed into a stick that broke the wires going to the clutch/converter and she went into limp mode. So he made a guard and this will be the first guard on the p650 too.

Most experienced rider will have no troubl adjusting to the awsome power in this class, but the learning curve is pretty steep and mistakes can be costly.

Hey Rackman, never thought I would say this to a guy, but nice rack LOL. I like that rack you welded up pretty smooth.

To 4ruggy, I love my Sportsman, wouldn't trade it for anything, but get what YOU like, not what everybody else tells you. Your the one investing hard earned money.
