Just checking out the UTV seen. I don't have one but I'm looking into buying one. All I have is sport ATVs so I'm leaning toward the Razr but the Prowler XTZ 1000 looks pretty sweet. Lookinf for some real info not some jacked up story about a buddy that has one that does 150 mph. Thanks for listening

i have a two buddies with rzr's......
for me the difference was:
rzr pros
sporty
lighter
legally allowed at our largest riding location (was a big sticking point for me) i could put a car seat in it and take my kids, take my wife, etc....
easier to haul
fits in our tight trails
you sit down in the rzr, good for sport riding
quite a bit less $$
rzr cons
compared to the xtz (stock) it's slower
doesn't have a v-twin....i like the sound of a v twin
can't haul much at all (we have 43 acres and 90% of my use of the prowler will be there)
you sit down in, not easy to get in and out of when you are in a hurry (out on the property with a chainsaw and a string trimmer)
not as roomy
it just depends on what YOU want/are going to do with it.....
there's nothing wrong with a rzr, but it was sure fun when we took off on our first ride this weekend and i ran mine up to 74mph and my buddy's rzr was banging off of the rev limiter at 55mph.....
in some trails my xtz out preformed the rzr and in some trails the rzr out preformed the xtz.....
i was second guessing my purchase but after i've had a good deal of seat time and spent some time playing with the rzr's, i'm confident i made the right decision....

New to the UTV world-2009 Prowler 700 XTX
Member IntroductionsI just picked up a 2009 Prowler 700 xtx efi a week ago. The PO said the cam chain tensioner was shot. After getting the new part in and installed, the chain still lifts up .100" off the cam gear so I'm guessing I'm in for a little more in-depth look at this engine. Grrrrrr. I'm a Toyota...- 2
