    I belive I am going with the new Arctic Cat 700. Everything I have heard about them they are great. Good Mudders too.

    My next choices are the

    Suzuki 700 - Great Machine know alot of ppl that love them. Same engine as the AC 700

    Can Am 800- fastest utility quad out there. There prally the best utility quad out there right now. I know a few racers in the WPSA snapped the frames. Great mudders I have herd.

    Grizzly 700 - My friend has one. Very nice quad. Still to new to tell ya much about it.

    Prairie/Brute Force. Plenty of power, tons of upgrades if you want and good reliability. And unlike a Bomb 800, you can shift from forward to reverse whenever you want to without having to rock the quad back and forth.

    My moms bomb 400 does that when you are on a slight hill.
    Other then that the quad has been GREAT

    from what i have heard and seen i would buy a 600bomb there v-twin with as much power as most 700plus quads which is nice packed into a smaller quader great for chewing through the mud, as for the AC700 no offense to the guy who is getting one but it seems to me in every shootout there 1-2 last there just not as well made as the others although they do have nice clearance...

    I ended up getting a king quad.

    The ACs are nice, very well built. Frames are very tought. But they lack some speed.
