[QUOTE="pluckem, post: 157041, member: 843"] Have down some casual looking the past month. Saw that Mattracks is having a 20% sale on tracks for fall 2017 delivery, might want to look into that. Id say do some looking and reading on the differences between the Honda 700 and 1000. I believe the 700 has been on the market for a longer time and have seen many claim its a workhorse and very reliable even after 5-10k miles. But when comparing it to the newer 1000 it seems doggy, slow, and suspension isn't quite up to the feel of the 1000. I believe the 700 has a rev limiter at around 44mph. Might have to look into the speed reduction of the tracks gear ratio. If its 50% you might have top end speed of 22mph with tracks. Not a huge deal to some but if you plan to make longer runs on decent trails/ice (Lake of the woods) 22mph is going to seem pretty slow. Downside to the 1000 is seems like a few issues need to be worked out. Water getting into the air intake as well as excessive seat, floor board, and cab heat seem the be the bigger complaints. The transmission (different from the 700) also has some clutches that some believe need to prove reliable before they are willing to say the transmission is better than a belt. When comparing to the Polaris.... The Honda has an actual transmission (vs belt), has conversion seat in back so can use as box or haul extra passengers. Polaris has the nod on available aftermarket parts and more performance in the 900 and 1000 cc machines compared to the 700. [/QUOTE]
