That is the best bang for your buck big bore out there. It cost as much as some mid size 550s out there.

Hello and welcome,
I just did a comparison of the KQ750 with EPS vs the Griz 700 and I believe that the Griz is the best on paper. The KQ is physically larger, heavier, has less ground clearance and the only subjective advantage that I see the KQ has over the Griz is the wet brakes on the rear. The 12 month warranty verses the 6 month warranty of the Griz is the only true advantage that I see. I don't know what the bargaining price for a KQ is but I paid $7150 for my 08 Grizz 700 FI EPS in July 08.

welcome! unfortunately there are not many places to ride in upstate ny. pa is probably your best bet for some legal trails. good luck with your purchase.

Not on this Paper it is not better.

http://www.powersportsnetwork.com/en...1=88108&go2=Go

The smaller SOHC Grizzly makes less power than a larger DOHC motor of the KQ.
There only 65lbs difference and 1" ground clearance. KQ has lower set hight and cheaper price. M.S.R.P. KQ $7699 vs Giz $8099.

Google "SOHC vs DOHC" the more exspensive DOHC set up is always on top over the older SOHC set up.

Polaris 850______69.06 hp
Can Am 800 R____67.05 hp (updated 2/13 to 70.5 hp)
AC 1000_________65.84 hp
Can Am 800______61.7 hp
Can Am 650______55.4 hp
Brute 750 Carb____50.1 hp
Brute 750 EFI_____49.8 hp
King Quad 750____49.6 hp
AC Mud Pro_______49.06 hp
King 700_________48.5 hp
Polaris 800_______48.3 hp
Brute 650 I________46.3 hp
Grizzly 700________45.6 hp
Polaris 700_______44.3 hp
AC 700 H1_______41.4 hp
AC 700__________41.4 hp
Brute 650 ________41.4 hp (solid axle)
Grizzly 660_______40.9 hp
Can Am 500______40.4 hp
AC 650 H1_______39.3 hp
Rincon 680_______38.5 hp

The 750 is not listed but The older 700 KQ DOHC made more power than the Grizzly 700 so I have no doubt the larger 750 sure will.

OPPS the 750 is in there. sorry. 49.6 HP.

Another good choice would be a Grizzly 700.

One dealer up here has a crapload of '08 leftovers for $6600 out the door.

I am quite partial to Polaris however. They have specials going on till the end of April. You can pickup an '08 Leftover, brand new Sportsman 800 for @7400-7600 out the door. They are pricier, but you don't have to buy rims and tires to make it look good, they come with them. Japs still don't put good tires on theirs.

Welcome and enjoy whatever you get. Anymore, they are all good.

Not sure there is a "best", I prefer the Grizzly 700 EPS, but think you would be well served by a King Quad, Brute Force, Sportsman, Can Am or one of the Hondas. Just check them all out and compare features and how they "feel" to you.
