Oh, sore subject, Rammy [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] That was MY Prairie 360 that I traded for the p650. Then after that it all gets blurry and I ended up with Rancher leftovers and he is riding the 650. Nice, uh? To tell you the truth, though, I would take the Rancher over the p360 any and every day! It is much, much more reliable, safe, and sturdy on it's four wheels. Not to mention the front end is quite a bit lighter so the Rancher jumps awesome whereas the p360 couldn't. The 360 and 650 are by no means very similar in performance. I'm probably too small for the 650 anyway, and the seat is quite big for me to be comfortable on. So I can b!tch & moan, but it's most likely better that I'm not on it. I haven't found my perfect machine, though and it's annoying that he kicks my a$$ since he's on a machine that was supposed to be mine!

 

sorry i hit a nerve atvgurl but it confused me when i saw the pics[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] oh well, hope ya find the right quad for yourself. i own a prairie 650 and a wolverine and cant stay off the prairie long enough to ride the wolv. imagine that!!

 

Ward660R, I was pretty amazed when I saw the picture that I have for my icon, too! I knew that I was getting way up there off that particular tabletop but I am still amazed. The Prairie cleared the tabletop like a sport quad. I feel this is a good representation of its jumping ability. I have to say that it is very very forgiving in the air. Pin the throttle and hold on! I think that any of the three machines are capable of winning a race through trails depending on the rider atop the seat! It comes down to personal preference in the end. My personal rating of the three machines from what I have witnessed would be P650 first hands down, then the scrambler based on its exceptional quickness despite only being a 500cc, easy steering and good reliability. The Grizzly would be third because the one major time I saw one in action it didn't fair too well. One entered the 12 hours of atv america and was beat by a Prairie first, Wolverine second, and a Rancher third. The team riding the grizz got fourth because they spent more time in the pits fixing broken drive shafts (2) than they did on the track. They also fouled a plug on the track. After the race they went to Mike Penland's pit and the rumor is that he is building them a P650 for this years race. That is quite a testament to me, but again one small snapshot of a grizzly, not its reliability overall. Hope this helps answer some questions.

 

ATVGURL - Ok you know I'd bring this up today! What did the prairie 650 have for lunch sunday afternoon??????????????????????????????? I know what the Scrambler had....... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

The first thing I said after what I witnessed yesterday was that I was going to come back to this thread and correct myself!!!!!!!!!

Drag Race:
Scrambler 500 4x4 w/aftermarket pipe
vs. brand new V-Force 700
vs. '03 Prairie 650

Who won?
Well, the V-Force, but the Scrambler's (Polariman's) front tires were at the V-Force's back tires in the line-up. Where was the 650? WAY behind!! Scrambler kicked azz yesterday! Something is different in the performance of the 650 from the very first time they dragged. Whether it be the aftermarket tires, the belt, or what, something's wrong there. I couldn't get it above 57mph the other day. It used to go 65mph at least. Racinaki was sick after yesterday's drag races! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

Then, Polariman, correct me if I'm wrong because I don't remember quite well, but we saw a KFX 400 beat all of 'em. ???? Weird day at the park.
