I was getting parts(who'd have figured)and as I was waiting I was looking around, and saw the brand new 2009 TRX 700XX. OMG that thing looks like a beast!! IRS, 5 speed with reverse. I couldn't stop looking at it! I was only thinking, what quad can someone compare this to, I know of the raptor 700 r, but was wondering, what other big-bore- "sport-quads" there are and if its worth it to pay the extensive out-the-door price for the Honda.

It's a quad...........

Posted by: RM85rider123---------------------

It weighs a quarter of a ton. 505 pounds is like riding a wrecking ball if the throttle sticks or something. It'll bring down a house.

Its a hillbilly lawn mower, or a 90 mph couch on wheels, take your pick? At what point do you give up, and just get a jeep? Then you can pull a trailer full of bikes!

Last time I was in a dealership I looked at the quads as I passed by and thought to myself "What's the point?"

To keep the dealership open! Without the profit from the quads, there might not have been a dealership there to walk through.

See, they are good for something!

They are also good for doing donuts in the staging area lot, shirtless, while carrying a case of beer.

Thats also the curb weight(full of fluids and liquids)

and maybe thats why they have such a powerful braking system.

Or the people that lowers the suspension on them, and says it adds 5 horsepower

Sorry mdavidso;

What these knuckle draggers are trying to tell you is that posting any quad related questions here is about as smart as walking into a cave full of starving hyenas... carrying a big juicy steak. You're just going to get bitten.

Not the place for quad stuff. And this is the FLAME BOARD, meant primarily for flaming. Not asking about Quads.

Not even close.

And besides, it was 'Tighty wearin' homos.'

Jeeze, get it right.

Posted by: _JOE_---------------------

We're in need of someone to come around and defend the quads. Then it would be fun!

I know, I posted it here to get peoples honest opinions, and I got great input, and now im having fun just reading what some people are saying.

also, no one answered my question, should I buy gthis quad or a different one?

only looking for a quad because i just crashed my dirtbike, and I'm looking to stay on all the wheels and not flying through stumps on my face.

Posted by: XRpredator---------------------

buy a dirt bike.

Posted by: Rich Rohrich---------------------

He should purchase a clue instead.

Posted by: Patman---------------------

Wow I never knew adding 2 more wheels and a bunch of weight make something safer. Personally I'd rather get hit with a 250# dirt bike when I'm laying on the ground than a 500# kwad. I mean if you ae that concerned about being safe off road get an Argo 8x8 to carry you around in your bubble.

Why do you guys always forget the "ktm riding" part of the "tighty whitey wearing homos" equation? Jeeze, get it right

You've been told once, this is not the place to ask. You are not going to get an answer.... or at least not a kind or honest answer.

Posted by: Patman---------------------

Because all tighty wearin' homos of DRN have united under a multi brand banner like a big rainbow of unity.

Posted by: 250girl---------------------

Wow, that was poetic. Almost romantic

Posted by: _JOE_---------------------

You develop superior language skills once you become an Audi owner.

The opposite is true when get a kwad. Your speech gets slurred and you start using words like y'all and nerf bars. Soon you realize it is much more dangerous to go off the trail at speed on this giant wrecking ball on wheels and revert to staging area donuts to keep yourself entertained. By this point you have become too lazy to ever ride a dirt bike well and will lose interest in off road all together.

Best wishes.

A free quad, no thanks. Any dirt bike, yes please, and thank you! 250 girl has a soft heart for the weak.

Nay, my knuckles still drag I just couldn't be bothered to waste the time responding to a thread for the balance impaired. Now that my beloved country gets painted as a safe haven for kwad tards I've been forced to come out of my cave

That made me

ok I get, I got it, I'm good, I'm getting a new bike. AND Rich, I got a clue when I went to finance the damn quad and my payment was $240 over 36 months.

They purposely set the price high to ensure natural selection doesn't snowball out of control.

Posted by: _JOE_---------------------

Hey, if you're silly enough to ride a kwad, you're silly enough to pay too much for it too!

Posted by: OnAnySunday---------------------

I saw a 700xx in my dealers showroom once......... and i actually was kinda impressed.
Kinda.
Was like looking at a BRP on 4 wheels.

Cant remember if it was fuel injected, but if so it would make a nice comfy ride to take to the Silverton/ Ouray jeep trails.
(altitude concerns)

Of course i could also take.......................my Jeep...........

Posted by: flyingfuzzball---------------------

i think you are all forgeting a major element of the quad...

YOU CAN CARRY YOUR BEER WITH YOU!

i mean so what if you are doing donuts in the parking lots, your doing it WITH BEER!

and there is also the plus of pissing of all the tighty wearin' homos

because parking lot donuts are srs bizness! www.beerdonutsandquads.com

Posted by: motometal---------------------

you must refer to it as your "machine".

Umm, I think Fuzz has been involved in several of those.
