JerBear525, IMO there's not a "best" ATV out there b/c EVERYONE isn't going to agree...If you want info which does what the best then I'd be able to tell you.
The Polaris 700 has the plushest ride, plows the best, tows the best...odd 4WD system not a full time 4wd selection, goes into 4wd when the rear wheels slip-----IMO not as good as real world limited slip 4wd with locker.
The KQ 700 has a great ride, very good handling, EFI,true front locker/4wd system, detuned severely though so it has disappointing low end power in stock form.
The Grizz 700 is very comparable to the KQ but it has better low end power b/c it isn't detuned plus it has power steering and true front locker/4wd. Power steering isn't proven though so....
The Outty 650 has execellent power and good handling, bad front suspension, odd front locker setup though, engages when it wants to why BRP and Polaris have to be different hear beats me b/c true 4wd with selectable front locker is better.

Polaris offers all kinds of attachments for the rear and fron racks that just snap on. From boxes to gun scabbards, chainsaw holders, backrest, I can't remember them all.

I want to hear from the person who started the thread. What type of riding do you do? That has ALOT to do with what advice we'd give you.. Also i'll go ahead and tell you my opinion. And i may have said this before but i'll say it again..
I think Polaris has more going for them right now then anyone else. And here are a few reasons why..
1. The best/most plush ride in all of ATVing.. Simply outstanding.
2. Lock'n'Ride compatibility system (already mentioned)
3. Electronic Fuel Injection
4. Oldest/Most proven EFI ATV out there. The Sportsman700EFI has now in its 4th year of production and the bugs are worked out...
5. Most storage (by far)
6. True AWD ( i like Polaris' 4wd system the best, although MANY will disagree, but its a matter of opinion)
7. Best towing capacity
8. Dual Rear brake lights with rear work lights
9. Best stock tires available with some awesome stock rims
10. And now, if you get a 2007 you get Polaris' newest addition.. Active Decent Control (ADC) Its Polaris's new downhill 4wheel enging breaking and from what i hear, its great.
So anyway, i know personally that alot of other ATV's are better at certain things and each ATV kindof has its specific purpose, but if i were buying right now, i think i can honestly say that i'd go with the Polaris 700. Its the best selling 700cc class ATV ever so far, its proven, has unique features, and i've had absolutely zero problems with mine, and i've pushed it about as hard as it can be pushed. And the weight has definatly not been an issue, so dont let that scare you. I love mine.
Good luck with your decision, i hope i helped.

The Outty 650 has execellent power and good handling, bad front suspension,>>>>>
Bad? Are you talking from personal experience? I adjusted my shocks and can hit whoops on trails with NO problem, soaks it up very well.

No not from personal experience, but I've heard it from several Outlander owners and magazine reviews, they all said the front shocks/suspension were just bad, and from pictures I've seen of the front shocks it'd have to agree with them.
