Title: Well I did it, bought a UVX 700i
Post by: Bratman2 on December 17, 2021, 01:59:42 AM
Purchased a 2019 UVX 700i LE Hunter model. Not that I hunt! It was used by the Kymco center in South Carolina. It was never sold but had 741 miles on it. The dealer made it worth to me to drive a few hours and purchase it. Has a lot of neat extras, power steering, bed extender, roof, windshield, 14" alloys, 26" tires, Warne winch installed and some funky plates mounted in the bed for gun boots. I took them out, didn't want my German Shephard bumping into them on rides. Put 40 some miles on it in the week I have owned it. Nice ride, pretty good power and my German Shephard loves it! Still have my MXU 450I and have no plans of letting it go anytime soon. Just thought I would share!

Wow, even has its own garage!!!  Nice looking machine....curious about how much extra power the 700 has over the 450i ??  When I bought mine, I needed/ wanted the smaller machine and have no regrets on my decision.  Sounds like you got a good buy on that 700....and yes..more pics please!!

Have to wait until Monday when I get off for more pictures. And I will post them for you guys. Thanks! I parked it in the garage because there was heavy rain coming. My wife joked with my daughter that I had my nearly new F150 parked out in the rain. Claimed I bumped my head when purchasing it, lol! I kind of wished it had the bench seat like the 450. At the same time, I can say the bucket seats are very comfortable. Have no idea how it compares power wise to the 450i. I have had it up to 54 mph, only for a couple of seconds. Doubtful I will take it over 50 again. Just not much need. Some of the things it came with I really wanted, especially the windshield and roof. It has a nice finish on it, it looks painted.

With the new paint formulas today, a lot of mfgrs are painting their plastic parts to give a custom look.  No idea how well it hold up overvtime, have to wait and see, however it looks awesome!!  I use my machine for a lot ofvutility work sovthe bench seat is a olus for quickly getting in and out. I understand both the 500 and 700 are also single cylinder engines, just curious about the actual power output. I have never been in a position where I needed more powervthan my 450i has...yet... Keep us posted

Some quick pictures from yesterday. Pretty wet outside the first couple of days I got to drive it.

NICE...good looking ride, I really like that color!!  How much bigger than a 450 would you guess?

I think it is 2.5" wider and maybe 5.5" longer. About 165 lbs heavier. So still not a really big UTV.
