Ok, so who is stepping up?

They call them 700s but they are really 686cc. Not much bigger than the 660?
But EFI!
New for 2008:
* All-new 686cc engine puts out plenty of broadband power. New four-valve head with 9.2:1 compression bumps power and efficiency.
* Electronic fuel injection ensures peak performance in nearly all conditions and elevations, along with instantaneous cold starts.
* Tough, rotomolded doors keep mud, water and dirt on the trail where they belong.
* Cool, comfortable new steering wheel and new passenger grab handles.
* Now with two cup holders for even greater creature comfort.
* New underhood tool-free air filter is a snap to service.
* CV joint protectors for long, trouble-free life.

the EFI is nice.... But I'm waiting to see how the Kawasaki will do in a side x side test. I heard form a buddy that drove the Kawy that it will SPANK the Rhino. 60mph will the black box adjusted....and the suspension works pretty well.

Having owned a 660 Raptor and now the 700 (686), the 700 makes a lot more broad power, and more torque and hp than the 660. The 700, on the quad at least, comes way under cammed and made it's peak power at about 7000rpm

Big price jump in the last couple of years. It sure isn't that big of a difference like a lot were hoping or expecting.

LOL!!! How the hell did you become so good at knowing what it looks like if you're always swallowing it?

keep dreaming little guy.....
I know what it look like because I am always staring down at your midget ass.:D :eek:

Seems to me the smart move would be to put one of these new motors in our Rhinos and call it a day!
Probably sell the stock motor for a pretty penny too...

All that for just over 11 grand!!!:eek:

Unfortunately the Raptor and Rhino motors are 2 totally different animals. The Rhino motor came from the Grizzly quad.

Same here. Until there is a HUGE power improvement I'll deal with my outdated Rhino. :rolleyes: :D :D
