Ok at the end of this or the beginning its time to step up from my foreman,its not a bad bike but i want the extra features u know.I am most attracted to the 700h1,but mould like some honrst opinions on it compared to a grizz or 650 outty. Me and my wife 2up quite a bit and just putter around for the most part so is it smooth compared to the rest,have a big seat, how does it compare power wise. oh whatever i get should have a mild or no lift with 28" laws or the like.Oh and what about that cvt?

i rode the outty 650 max xt at nats and to me it felt weak. but the track was not set up to allow you to really get on the gas very long. i was not impressed with the power, now the ride was great. as far as the grizzley goes it has plenty of power but the bike seems like it was built for a smaller person, i would not want to ride 2up on it.

i would suggest you look in to the mud pro. the regular 700h1 has the "ride in" suspension and has 11" of gc where as the mud pro has the regular shocks and 28" MSTs giving it 14" of gc. the reason i suggest this is, when the wife and i ride together the weight will make the bike squat a little so it would be better to start with more gc.

CVT? it's not an issue one of the best on the market.

what boat do you work on? i am the captain of an inland towboat.

Thanks for the reply. I would love to get a mud pro but i can get an 08 h1 for $2000 less than the mud pro, and i can add alot of stuff for that much, i would have thought the can am would smoke the can really. Does the cat ride relatively smooth? oh i am on ACL's boat Charles M running from pensacola to mobile with a barge full of gas.What boat do you ride?

Why dont you get a 700h-1 2-up? I love my 700h-1, it has tons of low end and will run 70mph with 3.6 gears in it hauling my 270lb but lol.
