  1. Looking to buy

  2. 700-4
I bet I already know the answer to this question but before I make a purchase, I’m going to ask anyway: anyone buy a 1000-5 and regret not getting a 700-4 instead? Or buy a 700-4 and regret not getting the 1000-5?

I’m ready to make a purchase and thought I had landed on a 700-4 but now I’m starting to wonder if I shouldn’t just go ahead and get the 1000-5. Power isn’t as big a deal as mine will be for light farm use and riding around our property but after sitting in both today, I do like the extra leg room in the front and back of the 1000. Just seems like such an overkill for our use.

If you have the money get the 1000. And I am saying this as a happy 700-4 owner. We have had almost 5 years of trouble free use out of ours but I do wish I had got the 1000. When I bought mine that extra $3,000 for the 1000 was a deal breaker.

Don't overthink it! 700cc single with a 3 speed transmission vs 1000cc twin with a 6 speed dual clutch and a high/low range
I bought a 700-4, had it for 1 year before I upgraded to a 1000-5 Quieter, stronger, better ride. Too many plus's to list

I wondered same thing after I purchased my 1000-5. Then rode in the 700-4 we have for work. I feel much better about my purchase. 😎. I gave my coworker a ride in mine and he asked our boss if he even drove them before he purchased the 700 🤦‍♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
