First Ride

The large displacement sport quad market has been getting limitless and with the Honda TRX700XX ATV it just keeps getting bigger.

More...

yea i dont really care for the new 700 because of the I.R.S. And the back tires are the same size as the front basically. this is just my take of it.

I didn't know that about the tires. I would like to ride one but that is kinda weird on the tires.

I'd like to ride one, just to say I have....but who really needs all that power? I know in woods racing, power isn't everything...you can have one fast bike and still not win.....the rider's got to be just as fast as the bike, just as good as the bike.

Plus....who really wants to pick it up when they get stuck?? Cause everyone gets stuck sooner or later....

Idk, I guess I'm just got a big fan of any 700's, Honda included...

I think it would be a blast to ride! I would rather own a Rincon for that kind of money.

Wheeler I am going to agree. I rode a Polaris Predator500 and it does seem like how could you use more power than than especially in the woods. I like my 250 2 stroke but it can be a pain keeping the Rss up all the time in the technical woods.

not sure if it's the worst decision...people will still buy it and pimp it out...they just need to do some more perfecting......and get it so it weighs less than the others. 505 pounds is a lot to lift out of the mud if you're stuck..

A lot of the negative stated about the new 700 was said about the origanal Outlaw. Just one thing about weight , My Ozark is claimed 406 lbs. When put on the scale with rack back and winch it weight 463 lbs . 20 lbs was rack pack. So 505 lbs for a 700 trail sport rig sounds pretty good to me.
From everthing I have seen about the 700. Gives me the impression that's that Honda is classifing it as a trail sport quad. I don't think it is a true sport quad at heart. If it had a straight axle, everyone would think it could walk on water.
