I took one for a lil spin and it wasnt at all as bad as i expected i took it through some decent turns it didnt seem to have alot of body roll or anything.

I have ridden one and was not impressed at all.

I've been pleasantly impressed with mine:

Two Brothers slip on, PCIII and this thing pulls third gear wheels with blips of the throttle. I raced a stock 09 YZ450r and spanked it along with a raptor who kept quitting when he would get into 3rd...

they are alright quads... i rode one for a couple minutes its fun, tons of torque, but i kinda like the raptor 700 a lil more..

The outter front fender is removable. It didn't (IMO) offer much splash and mud protection, but then again it doesn't rain here much in the Austin area so I'm not missing much. Also black plastic is the worst for showing scratches and since I mainly trail ride, that would be that much less to scuff up.

Also, they are 48" wide with the stock tires on and since no one makes rear rims (at this time) in 11" the ITP 10" rims that are being produced are a little wider because of the different offset.

If I go riding in Mississippi in March I may put them back on...not sure.

The ground clearance is where this thing really kicks butt though. My buddy has a 734 kit, cam and other stuff on his 700r and he couldn't go where I could go. All the horsepower in the world won't help you if you can't get it to the ground. We were creating new sand climbs through the trees.


Also, KEVIN_TRX450ER was that picture taken at Sand Hill ATV? When I go riding...that's where I go in Mississippi. That place is awesome.

I just looked through your photobucket and answered my own question:

These two climbs were "down only" when I went there in December! Cool!

I'm usually out there with the guys who skim accross the ponds, Danny (734 Raptor) and Nat (KTM 525XC).

Hey Scuzz, anywhere to ride in Austin? I have a brother in Pflugerville, Tx. I'm going back there to visit again the summer and besides Kermit I wouldn't know where to ride. Plan to pick up a couple quads while I'm in the area.

actually believe it or not it was taken at my cousins small home made motocross track... its nothing big mainly like 15 jumps or so not wide enough to race but we rip around hitting the jumps its a blast.... the closest track is like 2 hours from my place so it gets the track fix without the long drive lol

Well, I have been on one of those a few times. I LOVE the torque, but the only thing that seems to mess it up is the weight. IRS can really throw it off too. What the hell though, if she wants it. Has SHE taken a ride on it?

There's a few members on the 700xx board who currently are getting headwork done now and frantically trying to get them back together before the weather warms.

I'm REALLY impressed with the power improvements from the Big 3 addons. I can't wait to dyno it.

Here it is at the dealer getting a new inner CV boot:

(I just painted the wheels)

They have a couple of places out here, make sure you have skidplates though...

I wouldn't mind trying one out. I'm down in Austin quite a bit, where you riding down there?

Ive been down here since August so I've only been a few places, Boulder Creek and Cherokee Creek. Both are so-so places to ride IMO. Nothing like RRMT up in Bulcher. (We moved from Plano)

i'm about 30 min. from Bulcher and 45 min. from Lake Murray. I like them both, haven't been out to Bulcher in a while tho.

When it was really how I liked Lake Murray for the super clean water for cooling off in.
