Yeah "bro", I'm sure the guy lied, used a pro rider's name and didn't get called on it. I guess since you're 14, you've got the "anything I don't own sucks" attitude.
The point is for anyone saying something stupid about the Kawi being a utility. You can't jump that high or go that fast on a track on a utility even if you're a pro rider.

Feel free to come to WV and tell me your jokes, I'd love to hear them face-to-face.

Yeah, do this on a utility.



Airin' out the V-force

Since you have to post pics of someone else to brag about your ride why dont you do it first ???????? By the looks of his posture
it all most looks like that jump was accidental , I am sure Hart's first back flip took really good pics to even tho he landed flat on his
face.... I gave an opinion along with everyone else in here .. If you want to start doing a PI$$ATHON than lets do it....

YOUR TURN

Here you go genius, he must've had about a dozen "accidents", but I only posted a few of them. Actually he broke one every time he landed, but he just kept going and getting new ones for the next jump.

Bing, in all honesty, I do believe my statement to be true. I own a KFX400, which although it doesn't have the power of the Raptor, I personally feel that it has better handling characteristics than the Raptor, and yet since I got my 700, I do 99.9% of my trail riding on the 700.

I do about 75% of my overall quad riding on the Trails. A Majority of the trails that I ride on are woods trails that include some tight runs through the trees. A lot of hills and technical stuff. You are right, you do have to watch what you are doing and pay attention in the tight areas, but the extra ground clearance (Due to the Shaft Drive) allows you to go over rocky areas and stumps much easier than a Chain driven quad. This is one of the downfalls of my 400 as it is with the Raptor. As far as the off-camber stuff, the wide stance and lower center of gravity on the 700 only serve to make it even better in that type of situation.

Due to the power, the ground clearance, excellent suspension, low center of gravity, the responsive smooth trany, and the lack of virtually any kind of bump steer, the 700 in my opinion, is the Best 2WD Trail Quad on the market today.


As far as the whole "Utility Quad" statements.

Anyone with Half the intelligence of a Watermelon, that has taken the time to actually look at a KFX700 let alone ride one, KNOWS that it is Not a Utility or Sport Ute, it is a High Performance Sport Quad.

These statements are being made in an attempt to get a reaction from those who don't see these comments for what they are.

I buy and ride what "I" want, and I look forward to discussing my opinions and views with anyone. But goating me into Slapfest over something that I know to be an uneducated comment will not achieve that goal.

So KevinM, let it go, they are just Screwin with ya. You know the truth, that's all that matters. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

RPM , your taken all the fun out of the thread ...

Anyway I have never been on the 700 and IMO the 700 probably well smoke a Rappy on the trails considering the Z/KFX
will take out a Rappy on the trails all tho rider plays a big part of that... IMO the utility thing is those front headlights gives
it that utility apperance , its by far not any where near the specs of a utility or does any other part of the quad look utility..
I just like to poor a little more gas to that big fire that a lot of people have about there quad is better then yours...

I get ripped on everytime I ride cause I am not riding a 400 EX like all the guys I ride with .. but its all in fun in the end
we still have a great ride no matter which quad your on or who was always leading .. in my group if your not rippin on
everyone and getting mad about those how are rippin on you then your in for getting roosted the whole ride.....

<<<<MY OPINION>>>>>

I've had the opportunity to ride / race The Rappy..The Predator...and I now own The Force.

I like the size...the styling...and mostly the handling / power of the V-Force.

With a "Modded" Rappy you can beat a "stock" Force in drag (in dirt). A stock Rappy will just not win if both bikes get a fair start (at the finish line the V will have one bike length lead). After many, many races...the results are the same (though the stock bikes are very close)

My friends who ride / love Rappys ride my bike and love the handling / power (but most want to stick with thier manual clutch)

Like most have said already......Everyone has their own preference.....BUT rest assured....on the trails....I am sure the handling / power coupled with the auto-tranny of the V-Force will make it a great ride and a more versitile ride. I don't see this platform for ATV's leaving anytime soon.
