TRX450R or TRX700XX?

[bkelley]

I'm looking to get a new quad here soon. My '05 TRX400EX has served me well, but I have grown out of it. At 6'5" 270lbs, I'm looking for something not only with power, but also something that will be a comfortable ride for me. I've been drooling over the 450R ever since it's release and have always told myself that it was going to be my next bike. Then the 700XX came out. Huge engine, EFI and independent rear on a sport quad? Sold. The independent rear really stands out to me because we mostly do trail riding with a good mix of sand riding as well. Which ever I go with, I'll definitely be getting a rise on the bars for comfort.

My question is, should I be completely sold on the 700XX?

Well I have heard that the 700 is a great ride with the IRS but u lose the "drifting" part of riding a quad. I.E. cant kick the back end out around corners very well. if you are more into racing and what not then i would say 450r but if you like to just cruise and go fast every now and then 700 is a good choice.
