i would get either the grizzley. or the polaris 700. that is a tough choice. they both are great in all conditions. but the sportsman is a little better for long trip because its more conffy.

Suzuki owns almost 45% of Arctic Cat. There is no way Suzuki would allow Arctic Cat to just build a "knock off" machine. Suzuki has made the engines for the Arctic Cat snowmobiles for decades, so it is only natural that they would for the ATV's as well. Also, Suzuki is working with Arctic Cat so they can eventually build 100% of there own engines. The 650 H1 is a 100% Arctic Cat made engine and more are on the way.

That was nice of Suzuki!! No really how did Arctic Cat get Suzuki to "help" them, aren't these ATV manufactures trying to out sell their competition!!
I agree with you Catterman, AC's aren't just "knock off" machines, they are good ATV's ecspecially for mudding, and they are getting better as AC get's more used to building them!! The new 700's look really good, and they have really good racks and high ground clearance.

In the 650 VTwin the engine is the kawi. Cat got it through the Suzuki/Kawasaki agreement in which those two companies agreed to collaborate on some projects etc.. That deal is now over, for 2007 it is only Arctic Cat and Suzuki engines in the Arctic Cats. CLear as mud huh! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Does that mean they don't make the AC V2 650 anymore??? So it's the AC 700 with the KQ's motor and the H1 650 with the Arctic Motor correct?
