You are so right. The sportsman has the best cadilac ride out there. The honda rincon is probably a very close 2nd. However, the BF750 is just slightly a step up from a SRA. In fact, in reality, the only thing I have gained by going to the BF750 from the 700 prairie is ground clearance. Other than that, the prairie does everything else better. I have 3 herniated disk in my neck and the ride on the BF750 compaired to the 700prairie is the same to me. I have even considered getting another 700prairie. After having the two, IMO the 700prairie is the best all around atv out there.

BTW, thanks for all the great information you give us concerning your twin peaks mods. Guys like you help out the rest of us who don't have the indepth knowledge.
the rincon rides better,the front end soaks up the bumps better.............

Now I remembered why I left this fourm a long time ago. LOL Every chance someone with a polaris would come in and start gabbing on the ALL THE OTHER BIKES NOT JUST KAWI and no I don't mark all polaris riders this way. I want to say to those people just worry about what you ride and don't worry about other people because your posts are not usefull here. I wish (and if a modereator reads this) that we could filter out this kind of BS and just read the good stuff. I know you will say I don't need to read it and normally I start to read it and I jump right over it and move on... this time I'm not. I respect these fourms for the information here and I do believe there is good stuff inbetween all the crap... I just wish I didn't need to shovel so much $hit.

Now to deal this poor polaris guy: I know my signature is outdated but here are some FACTS for you:
98 Kawi 400... 24000km didn't do a damn thing except change the oil
02 Kawi 650 approx. 23000 km on it and about 1400hrs on it, did some work
04 kawi 700 8000km and 360hrs. on it runs like a top
05 BF650 ran for a year and again just change the oil

Now my point is if you add these numbers up you will see that this is a very good track record over 4 bikes even if you add up the km and conver to miles I still have alot of miles. Now my facts on the polaris is we had one for 18 months and my brother spent 18000 CAN keeping it on the trail... and don't BS me saying well it because of lack of maintance or how we drive because I don't fall for that. I will state that I know people with Polaris that have great luck but this guy on this post with 7000 miles on his Polaris is the highest I see on a Polaris, (to me at around 7000 miles is just the point where a machine is broken in LOL). To him I'd like to say I want to see his bike with 14000 miles on it LOL. ALL bikes are going to have + & - and yes believe or not I know some people that had bad luck with the kawis as well. This is not a match of hate me because I'm better than you, (witch is what sense when I read thes posts) feel people should buy what they want not what other people want them to get, and face it all machines and yes including Polaris are getting better and I personally feel you can not go wrong with any purchase today as long as you buy atleast one!

Basically I'm asking ALL FOURM readers to say nothing if you don't have anything constuctive to say it would make these fourms even more valuable than they are today. IMO


rant over

BTY 700vtwinman is right on the money IMO
CC1999 PM me or post what your viewpoints are on the outie 800 I respect your input. thanks Jason

Sorry I didn't mention that I did like the stock 650 SRA brute force I had for a year. I had the camo and I personelly didn't like it. The camo stood up however I don't see paying more to have it scratch up quicker. It's nice that there's black behind the camo thou. I too wouldn't base my decision on dirtwheels either.

Youy can't go wrong with the Kawi Line up. The BF650 SRA is a great bike much like the P700 but a little cheaper and a different look due to the Brute plastics that we all love. The BF 650i is not a BF750 with a 650 motor. The BF650i has a new re-desighned front end and is supposed to be faster and hanlde better. The P700 is a proven bike and has been for years. The BF750's handling is not the best of them but will not be noticed by the average rider. It is like the Muscle Car of the atv world. It is a power house and a and real contender in the Mud Pit. All of these bikes are priced very reasonable and cover anything you could need.
