looking to move from brute to 700xx
Hi everyone,
i been looking this forum for some time now and decide to join it. I have a 2006 brute force 650i that i modded but lately i been looking at the 700xx and i like the idea of a sport bike with irs. So right now i'm looking to probably sale the brute and buy a 700xx. The only thing that scare me from that nice bike its the part, how hard its to buy repair part for that bike?? i don't want sometime that will stay 2 month in the garage because i cant get the part.
the last 2-3 year i only use the brute for trail riding and i would love to have something more sporty and still have irs and i can bring the wife with me. will the bike will be ok for 2 biker? i'm 6 and she 5 feet tall.

Agreed! They are not easy to double on. The turning is already bad on these but put a second person on the back and it gets even worse.

Sly,
If she is only going to ride with you one out of 20 times, I'd say go with it. I used to ride doubles all the time on quads and dirtbikes. On the XX, it will be a little harder to turn with the added weight in the rear, but if you don't go crazy you'd be fine. It's always fun to come out of the corner and burp it into a wheelie when they least expect it. I've rode double on the XX quite a bit as well. Just take it easy until you get the hang of it.

Trx700XX
I've doubled on mine as well, but I don't recommend it. The Trx700 likes to run not creep, it will get hot and burn your right leg if just staying in lower 2 gears. And the recommended weight for the XX is like 243lbs I think?
