As far as my street bikes I've had 3 GSXR 1000's ('02, '04, 07), CBR 1000 ('03) , and a Ducati 1098s ('08). ATV's a 2005 Recon 250, 2008 400EX and 2008 700xx. Dirt bikes Yamaha YZ250, and a Honda CRF450.

I rode a 400ex with yosh slip on, weisco 11:1, Hot cam st. 1, ishock 5500, and works quadstar rear. Great machine! Heres a cub scout show I did with some friends, I hit that jump for the first time 1 week prior. I did free style for 1 month before I decided it was too risky.:nuts:

A YZ250 got me back into woods riding, then I went to a Raptor 660. From there I stepped up to the XX!!

Started out on a Warrior 350, it was a good machine to learn on, but quickly wanted more after trying a buddy's Z400. So I got a Z400 and kept it 3.5 years. That was a fun quad, but it was getting tired and I didn't want to go into the motor. Then bought the Raptor 700 and thought it was the best thing around, until I discovered the 700XX. Gotta love hobbies:lol:!

I ride all kinds and still do. It gets tough some days choosing. Depends on the weather and where we're going.

Way better machine than the Kawi in every which way. As for the Renegade it's hard. The Gade is way quicker off the line. 700xx has it mid to top. The 700xx is a bit more fun with jumping and wheelies. The ride and handling is better on the Gade regardless of the difference in weight. My shocks are rezzies and are setup up perfect though. They're 2 different machines and hard to compare. If I was only able to have one quad, I'd pick the Gade. It's the best all around quad built. imo. The 700xx is the best sporty for my riding style. If that makes sense.lol The 2up 800r Limited is a cruiser and excellent for long trips.

Where should I start, I've been riding for a long time.....

1982 Kawasaki KLT200, 1984 Honda ATC200X, 1986 Honda ATC250R, 1993 Yamaha Blaster, 1999 Yamaha Banshee, 2003 Cannondale Cannibal, 2004 Kawasaki KFX700, 2007 Kawasaki Brute Force 650, 2007 Honda Rancher 420TE, and now I have added the 700XX to the list. The only one I still own other than the 700XX is the Rancher.

You're crazy with the Grizzly 700. We have 2 08's in the family and they're the two biggest POS bikes. Ergonomics are horrible.Stall all the time. 3 axles in one, 2 in the other. Won't start in the cold. Worst handling bike out there with the power steering.

On the street I had a 86 Maxim 700 and still have 86 Ninja 1000R with big bore kit, Mikuni RS flat slide carbs, V&H head work and exhaust, +1mm intake valves and
Shadbolt Stage 3 cams, too name a few.

I do miles for you folks. We have 25000 miles of trails up here all year long. You can easily go for a 2 week trip and not hit the same trail twice.

early 80's ATC 110, ATC 200M, XR200..

About 3 years ago I got into street and rebuilt and 87 VFR FII (the white one). Was a lot of fun.

Last winter I built a national 300ex (which I just sold) and put a deposit down on the 700xx.

I want this to last a very long time, thats why I bumped up so high in the engine/quad size.
