Last week my wife said she would rather have my 2015 800 xmr then a new 2015 xmr 650. So this weekend we went to an atv park so she could ride my xmr while I rode her mud pro 700. To make sure she wanted my 800. She was literally scared of it. She putted around on it. Hit a little mud here and there. I was constantly waiting on her. When usually she is pushing me out of the way.
After a few hours I gave her MP back and we carried on. Got to the sand drags. She wanted to race. The dam MP beat me by 3 links. I was like wtf? She was outrunning everyone. Those outlaw mst were hooking up better then my SB’s… She isn’t scared of the MP. It’s got a 750 cc kit, tune, clutch work and HMF exhaust. And swears my 800 xmr is too much. Both machines are physically same size and the mp has 1.5" more ground clearance. But my 800 feels way more powerful..
So she thinks she wants the 650 xmr now. But my concerns are.
Shorter wheelbase +
62 hp +
100 lbs lighter +
= lots of wheelies?
Basicly it would feel like a smaller version of my 800? Idk
