what 4X4

We will be buying a new 4X4 probably within a few weeks...

I have read all the articles about the shootouts in all those ATV magazines but I would like everyone's opinion on this.. not what those magazines get paid to write down by other companies.

We want either the prairie 650, bombarier 650, Sportsman 700, or maybe wait for the Rincon.

Sorry for Yamaha people but the grizzly is out of the question. We have had terrible service from the local Yamy dealers over the past years.

The susuki vision and the arctic cat were other options but we have narrowed it down to the 4 I have listed. Which one do you guys think would be the best? We do A LOT of millage with them, work with them, and also like the deep mud. So far we are leaning towards the prairie 650 or sportsman 700.

any feedback would be apreciated..

My vote goes to the prairie hands down! They are incredable quads. They will go through anything with their dif-locker and are very fast. They are a blast to ride. They jump and handle really well too. I highly recomend that over all the others.

get the sportsman 700, im not a big guy on the 4x4 thing, but that is a nice ***** quad. it looks like it sits up nice and level, and think about it with that thing you can't get stuck. if you don't get that one then go with the kawi.

i got a question? why is the reason yall ruled out the 660 grizzly? it would be nice cuz it has IRS too, and plenty of power, i have ridden the kawi 650.... niceeee 4x4 i could wheeli on it a little!

and exvillain, why do you say the Sportsman 700 CANT get stuck???????!!??! most of the time when a wheeler gets stuck its from lack of traction, not lack of power

dude its a joke, i just said that because of its size. by the way have you seen the stock tires on that thing.

Prarie 650 ALL THE WAY!!!, i have ridden one before, all you do is ounch it, and it will come staaight up, this thing is awsome, the sportsman 700 is to heavy

Well out of those the only one I have ridden is the Grizzly, which is awesome. But out of those I would say the Prairie, my uncle (who has the Grizzly) said that his bosses Prairie spanks his in a drag race, that's with mud tires on to.

Thanks for the replies..

We are pretty sure we will be getting the 650 kawy. We have tried all of them and that one handles/works the best... everyone we talked to seems to like that one better as well.

I would wait a little while and get a honda rincon.

I would go with the polaris beacuse it has IRS and a lot of people are reporting problems with there 4wd systems on the paries.
