:D Justin, GOOD choice.  I've had mine, a 2002, over a year and a half and am certainly satisfied.  Mine gets used hard reguardless of work or play.  Ride for fun when I can with about 2 dozen friends that own about everything that is offered from 300 ccs up.  The Prairie has proven itself top of the heap all across the board.  2 more 700 Polaris have been traded in on Plrairies in the last 2 months giving us a total of 6 Prairies in this group.

As an old engine builder, I chose as many others to not abide by the suggested break in procedures.  If you break it in like you're going to ride it it will both run better and last longer, but you can treat your's as you see fit.

Now if we could get you and Old Syko to post some pic's of thoos Praries that would be great!.  Syko,  so two of your buddies traded their Polaris 700's in on the Prarie?  Awsome.  I would love to try out that Prarie.  Anyone in your group have the Yamaha Grizzley?  How do the Prarie and Griz compare?   Thanks

Yep, got a couple 660s in the bunch and they're real close to the Prairie.   (my second choice)  As we've discussed before, I don't care for the IRS and that is the main difference in these two in stock configuration.  Plus the Prairie can be modded to do things that just ain't normal.  The more power the better.

Mark, the only pictures I have show the thing up to the seat in the swamp, but I'll dig up a couple and post um later on if you want.
