If the P700 is what hooked you on wanting a Sport ute, Then I would say thats what you should buy. I have 3 of them along with a SP800 and Dad has a P650 / KQ700 / BF750. I have spent a significant amount of time on them all, If you like the feel of the Prairie 700, go with it. Its the only one that feels and rides like that. All of these others have there good points and bad but I can tell you from experince none of them impress me like the Prairie chassis family of V-twins (Susuki Twin Peaks 700 / Prairie 700 / Brute Force 650) Dirtwheels Just had a shootout with the 4x4 of the Year the King quad 700 vs Last years winner the Prairie 700 and the final statment in that article sums up my opservation very well " The Prairire 700 is still the best 4X4 money can buy" Its faster than everything out there but a Brute 750i and handles much better than the IRS brute IMO. If you still want some of that sporty feel the P700/Twin peaks is your machine. The P700 has also beat its brother the BF750i in ever shootout I have seen. That should also tell you somthing about the P700.

 

hm....i may let my dad get the brute and go with the 700...is it as fast as the KQ?

 

They have a slight difference in gearing that gives the KQ an advantage in top speed about 3mph, but the P700 will beat it in drag race. since most drags don't involve top speed. Basicaly if you run them long enough and far enough the KQ will run it down. There are a few modds available to enhance the top speed on the P700 but keep in mind these are belt drives and there is only so much that can be done to improve top speed. It is however entirely feasable to get the extra 2-4 mph the KQ has on the P700. I would venture to say there are more performance modds available for the Prairies than any sport ute out there.

 

CC1999, i have an idea, why dont u just trade me your 700 for my DS? LOL. i just looked at your pics and i am very very envious of you....your quads are beautiful.

 

If you are looking for a atv for farming, work, etc. grab the popo as far as the bf vs prarie thing that popped up yes the prarie will track better than the bf on a straightaway but the prarie will never keep up with the bf (with an expeirienced rider aboard) on a straightaway
on a hill well that is where the bf will kill anything especially with the great front diff. lock. But opions vary

 

also on the hill issue i brought up i am talking about sport/utility 4x4 machines not sporters

 

im sure any of the quads listed will due any work i will need...i dont have much work for it to do...except maybe haul the occational buck out of the woods...but if my quad is half as pretty as cc1999, i wont want to get it dirty!

 

I should have taken some pics of the 700 last weekend after doing some muddin down at the Ker dam area by salina OK. It was our first time there, I am knot sure there was any blue still showing when we left there. It took about an hour and 10 bucks worth of quarters to get it clean agan. It was worth it though we had a blast slingin mud off all four tires 15 to 20 feet in the air. Sorry dude on the trade deal, I had a DS650 last year for a very short time, my back just can't take the sport quads anymore. Thats why I built my 800 Twin Peaks, So I could run with the best of them at the LS. dunes without killing my back. Plus its kinda fun smokin some of the fastest sport quads out there with a very stock looking blue utility. Oh they laugh when you line up next to them, but the looks on some of there faces at the end is priceless!!!!!

 

what kind of tires are you running on that twin peaks those tires look sweet

 

I have several different combinations for different ride areas, Tell me what pic number you were looking at and I can tell you what wheel and tire combo is on it in the pic.
