fk 700's? Easy youngblood...most bikes stock are dogs, especially in the sand. I haven't "dumped a hell of a lot of money" into my 700 and last weekend I was beating all 3 of the 450's up comp. I wasn't beating them by many bike-lenghts, but after seeing what the 450s were capable of, I don't regret my purchase at all. Best sport quad I've ever rode.
