Well since all of us own one of each of those, we'll be sure to only give you objective information [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]. Actually I only own the Grizzly 700, but have owned a Praire 650 and 700, Grizzly 660, Rincon, and a Sportsman before. The suspension on the new Grizzly 700 is only average, but everything else on the Grizzly 700 is outstanding. I love the engine and transmission, the handling, and all of the features. The Grizzlys ability to conquer tough terrain is amazing, and trails that shoud be technically difficult are effortless. It is easily the best all around ATV I have ever owned, and if I were still in the market for a big bore ATV, knowing what I do now about the Grizzly 700, I would make the same choice all over again. Good luck choosing an ATV.

i say BF650i or 650Bomb, but there can be a case made for any of those on your list. i think you could use any of them to keep up with any other.

I'm a sportman guy myself. You will get so many opinions on this. You are best to go ride them all and decide for yourself. Some people say the sportsman's feel too heavy. Some say the grizzly doesn't turn very well. The list can go on and on.

I have a Grizzly 660 and it turns great. It's every bit as effortless as my Rubicon.

[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]I'm with the DesertViper, and I've had atvs for 15 yrs now, and this new 700 Griz tops the cake. Buy something
else if you want, and then take a test ride on the new Griz, and then its too late.

I ride a stock kaw 650 brute force and i race and beat 300 lb 400's up sand hills and the only utillity quad to beat me is the 700 kaw prairie. I smoke the 750 bf and all the grizzlys they may be great in other applications but not up a steep sand hill.
the 700 prairie has the same motor as the kfx 700. the 800 outlander comes close and would probably beat me with the right rider.
I would have to say the 700 prairie would have to be my choice; allthough the 800 canam renagade is on my wishlist and would love to get some reports on the new power steering system on the grizzly

The 700 grizz has left me mixed feelings. Hurts your privates on rough trails. The seat design sucks. The power steering did not do a very good job on a hard packed surface. Asphault it felt like any other wheeler. The power is good but the overall feel I was not impressed with.

I hate it when I go riding and my thong tightens up. Talk about singing high notes. Well, I fixed that, cause I bought a polaris. Now that I have a girls quad, it rides so much better that my thong doesn't ride me.
