@@smittybert2450 thank you, I’m on it now and I do love it. I wanted the 700 but didn’t like the one piece seat on the max model. You made me feel better lol thanks
If you plan on racing the 700, you should gusset the rear arm shock mount. This is the only weak point i found on these, and they re not fun to bring back once they are bent.
Correct, but if you are looking at outlanders and think was is the difference between the 850 and 700 only 150ccs right? Very wrong power wise you can’t beat the 850 and 1000s but overall the 700 to me has more benefits for the guy looking for a “utility” atv and would beat 90 percent of utility atvs sold.
@@smittybert2450 i own a hd5, and i like it. i am also impressed by what they have done to the foot wells (or how they are called), the frame tubing is reinforcing them so much better, as on the old g2's, foot wells dont have any bracyng, and they get broken so easy. i know that it is not powerfull etc, but it gets the work done if u dont want to be a mud racing champ. also the gear shifting and suspension seems to work much better. Plus, the automotive bushings, dont require you to grease them.
I am waiting for a hd7 backrest accessory. The v twin exhaust is close to one spark plug wire
Which one rides better?
@@kellygotell1179 700 rides better and handles better.
I was afraid of that answer, I just bought the 850 max xt 2024 lol
@@kellygotell1179 still a great machine and will love it

The HD7 is a far better all around ATV.
@@stonehorn4641 for the majority of people I believe the 700 is a better fitting atv.

Use more exclamation points so people take your comment extra seriously.
The new 700 sure looks a lot cheeply made with a way stiffer suspension, not impressed.
@@rogersavoie4570 I think the exact opposite, way nicer put together, better built and way better handling.
To each it's own bud.
