I'm going to pull the trigger today on a new (left over) wheeler. My dad just bought a new (leftover) 2006 Polaris 700. I am between the Suzuki 700 and the Polaris 700. I steered dad towards the Polaris for plowing snow, and working around the house, and for a softer ride on the trail. I am think I want more of a sport utility to run a hare scramble or two or a GNCC, that sort of thing. I will still be plowing snow and doing some work with it but would like to be more "sporty". Any help on making this decision would be great!
Thanks
Craig

 

Most bang for the buck in a sportier ute could be a solid axle 650 Kawi V-twin. These were top racing utes for many years until just a few years ago when much more expensive IRS machines took over. The Kawi V-twins are plenty reliable and many aftermarket accesories are available from all the years of racing exprience. Just keep an eye on belt drive and they won't let you down.

 

The only so called "sport utility" I ever thought that was ever made was the 350 Wolverines and 300 Kawasaki Lakota (with racks years),other than that I can not tell how one Utility is sportier than the next.

If I wanted a sport Utility I would take a 4wd 450 Wolverine,500 Scambler or 800 Renagade and put racks on it and make my own sporty Utility.

 

Thanks for the advice. I went with the KQ. Now we can do a side by side comparision on the Polaris and KQ. Stay tuned.........
