I was just woundering if anyone watched the test of the V-Force 700 watching that thing on TV and all it looks to be pretty fast, stable and powerful. Anyway I just seeing what anyone else might think after watching it.

NO WAY!!?? ATV TV tested something other than a utility quad? lol! I stopped watching that show because all it was about is utility machines. I like the slow motion sequences when someone catches 4 inches of air on a Sportsman! :rolleyes:
I'll have to see if they re-air the show so I can watch it. I'd like to see the V-force in action.

It looked pretty impressive. It sucks they didn't have someone else riding another quad as comparision. But it sure looked like it was moving.

Man, I wish they had reverse on our 400's.

The 700 is clutched badly and choked up from the factory. The front-end lifts so easily from a standstill, that it makes it hard to pull a very good holeshot. When good pipes and clutch kits start coming out is when you will really be able to see what one can do.

It handles and jumps amazingly well for a 500 lb. quad, you don't even notice the weight when you're on it.

I don't know I just found the show about three weeks ago. I thought the quad looked like it had alot of power and seemed to handle well. It does look big but they say you can't feel when you're on it. I just can't wait to ride one for myself.

They can run it in the GNCC's. Heck Kawi is even sponsering it. I know it's not MX but it does help.

I think any new sport quad of any design will help the sport. I mean the more there are the more other companies, Say Honda:rolleyes: are going to have to do something or there sales are going to just have the bottom fall out.

I don't think they are trying to make race quads. The vast majority of people buying a new quad aren't going to race it in organized racing. Unfortunately there isn't money in pro quad racing like there is in bike racing to make it attractive to the manufacturers :(
As for Honda, I'm starting to get really ticked off. It took them one year to respond to Suzuki's LT250R, and they didn't have a chassis designed, just a motor. Now they have a good chassis (400ex), a good motor (CRF) and they are still sitting on their hands. I think they forgot about us.
