Ok, I need some advice.

Looking at 2 quads to buy one used. One is an '05 King Quad 700w/1400 miles on it for 4800, the other is an '06 Prairie 700 with 200 miles for 4900.

The Prairie is SRA. I'm well versed in the differences between IRS and SRA, I'm trying to decide between thw two OVERALL. I'm looking for a machine to ride more aggressive with so I don't beat on my X2. I will be getting in to some mud and water but nothing crazy. The wife will be driving it occasionally as well. Any opinions???

The Prairie is a good Bike and has less mile but I would still go with the King.

Research the gear ratio on both bikes and then decide if your looking for a bike with more low end stock, or a bike with a little more speed stock.
Both bikes can be modified to improve on their weekneses.
I think the King will last longer. IMO

The prairie weights more than the kq. I have a friend that has a prairie rode it and my kq ride smoother than it. Also if you get water in that prairie you are screwed. The kaw are good bike but don't get water in the motor. IMO
