get the rappy

 

I've ridden them all and thats why I bought the Raptor.... 2 strokes are a thing of the past( not intended to offend 2 strokers) I love 2 stroke.... but the thumpers are the future... Thats where all the manufacturers are going with their technology.

The KFX700 is a fairly tall ATV, however, because the airbox is up were the fuel tank would be, and the engine as well as the fuel tank are low in the chassis, the 700 has a very low center of gravity. When you figure that most ATV's have a fuel tank that sits at the highest point of the Quad (Except for the handlebars), and fuel weighs about 7lbs per gallon, that weight can add to making a Quad top heavy. Another thing is that the V is wide, and this makes it more stable and less likely to be tippy.

As far as being too wide for some trails, I Trail ride with a bunch of guys, and if the trail gets to narrow, I just make my own trail. This doesn't work under all conditions and circumstances, but so far, it hasn't kept me from keeping with the pack.

The 700 isn't the quad for everyone, and for me it has nothing to do with Auto vs Manual (I own both). It is more of an issue of, does it work for you and your riding style. I think that it is one of the more vrsatile quads on the market today. The thing that gets my panties in a bunch is when people determine what it can and can't do without ever having thrown a leg over it. But to each their own, I ride what works best for me, just as everyone should.
