Not seeing many posts concerning the Kawasaki Brute Force 750. Any owners
have any comments good or bad compared to say the Sportsman or Suzuki King
Quad? Thanks in advance!! Russ

it's carbureted, two of them, what more is there to say? I get enough
aggravation from one. It's an ok machine if you don't mind an electric
motor controlling your engine braking, I prefer a purely mechanical system
myself.

I came close to buying a Brute, but by the time they hit the floor, the only
one's left were the camo colored model, and I wasn't going to pay more for
something I would rather pay less to have.

A little later, reviews for all of the big bore sport utility quads came
out, and the KQ was deemed "best" overall....so I was thinking about that
one........but it has first year jitters. The Polaris 800 isn't really an
800, I think it's like 760cc's or something, and it's a hundred pounds more
than the Jap mounts. But as I remember, if you were doing 'work' with your
quad, that was the one they said you should get. The Honda is outclassed
now, except in reliability, as is the Grizzly. But, I don't know crap about
them, as I've never owned a 4x4 quad, but I'm gonna buy one soon.

But it has some first year problems, as they have all been recalled.

I have a prairie 700 with same EBC, and I have to agree with you,
seems its puts somewhat of a strain on things. Going down a muddy
hill read tires brake down, thanks EBC. :(

There were two racing pros posting reviews on Highlifter, ATVquad and
several other forum site a while back about the new King Quad and the new
Sportsman 800. This one pro owned both the new atv's and after many head to
head tests with both pros changing atv's time after time both easly agreed
the the Sportsman 800 had much more raw power and was much better handling
atv, much faster for trail racing and said this is the one he saw going to
use in next years racing. It was a pretty good unbiased review of a racing
pro looking for his next racing atv.

Hello Mr. Sparks......Well I'm 100% sure I read the Post over at the High
Lifter forum site a while back and a couple of other ATV forum sites like
ATV connection and ATV Nation. It was titled Sportsman 800 vs 750 KingQuad
or something very close to that. I would go over th High Lifter and do a
search for it. Good luck, Rob.
