I own an 07 800 Sportsman.I am interested in anyone's feedback on the 750 King Quad. I am lookin for a better trail machine. I like the look's and feature's on the KQ, just haven't had a chance to ride one to compare. Also, when you turn on the High beam, doe's it light all three light's or just high beam. If anyone out there has ridden both in trail condition's your feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thank's

I have a King 700 and love the reliability and stability of it. The 750 could have the power steering which would be a must. The only time I had on the seat of a Polaris was a 500 four or so years ago. Though my King is comfortable, I think the Polaris was a softer ride. The Polaris was heavier (which I thought was noticable), The King a little nimbler.
Not sure If I helped you much but I think the King would be better in tighter trails but the Polaris would be more comfortable on the open trails.

The only thing you may miss is the smoothness of a twin cylinder over a big single cylinder thumper. The KQ would also be a ATV I would consider.

Thank's fella's forthe feedback so far. I think im leanin toward's a King. I don't ride weekly so I think I could give up some comfort. The Sportsman is nice ride, but heavy as hell. It's been good to me so far. 1500 mile's and no major issue's.

OK, even if you haven't been on a Polaris but own a 700 or 750 could you give some feedback of the overall quality of machine? My 800 has 3 hard trips thru Hatfield's and our cabin in WV no breakdown's, jus some flat's. I guess what I'm lookin for is validation, I want a better trail machine, that's all we basically do and want to make the right call based on your experience.

Thank's again

I'll stick with the Polaris, over there i get answer's pretty quick, no offense to Suzuki but I guess Polaris owner's are proud of the product.

regards, ride safe

be a sign of a more dependable product?

Maybe Polaris people HAVE to be on this forum more?

I deserved that one, sorry. Maybe you are right on that. I guess i'm looking for validation before I make the jump to another brand.

Thank's again

I've had my King at both Coal Creek in TN and Evarts KY. Both trail systems were rough (KY due to heavy rain) but it has been very reliable. I'm hard on my machine (very deep mud) and any problems I have had (rear wheel bushings) were due to the wear do to mud.
Hope this helps
