i am looking at buying a rincon or a brute force and after hearing about them both i am still stumped as to which one would i like best......i know i want something big and powerful that will take a beating like i have heard hondas will do but i also want something that will get up and go but have heard the hondas dont.......just anybody who knows about both atvs help me out and let me know which one is the better all around quad...thanks

 

Do yourself a favor and get the KAw BF 650...

That is the BESt ATV out there...

right power, right price, right suspension...

 

in ur opinion...which one would be the most durable, which one would go through the most mud and last the longest(not have any engine problems.............arent kawasaki's belt driven too?? i have heard that that will get u into trouble sometimes

 

As long as you keep kawis in low range as much as possible(except when on flat or fast trails) you wont have a problem. I have a 360 with the same tranny and i have 1500 miles with out a prob. go kawasaki for power or honda for a smooth trail rider.

 

The Honda doesn't have a locking front differential as far as I know. That is a huge liability. One of the reasons why I wouldn't buy a new Honda.

I would go with the BF but make sure you get some radial tires. The BF handles terrible with the stock tires but with radials the handling becomes tolerable. Not great but tolerable.

 

 

Both are great quads. Here is my take:

1. Power: Kawie 750 BF
2. Ride: Honda 650 Rincon
3. Mudding: Kawie 750 BF
4. Ground Clearance: Kawie 750 BF
5. Front Diff Lock: Kawie 750 BF (honda doesn't offer)
6. Reliability: Both are good, but edge to honda 650 Rincon
7. Quickness: Kawie 750 BF
8. Stability: Honda 650 Rincon
9. Low Range: Kawie 750 BF (honda doesn't offer on Rincon)

I would go with the kawie 750 BF for all the power and everything you are getting, but that doesn't mean the honda 650 rincon is a bad machine. On the contrary it is very good. I guess I am bias though. Just some food for thought.

 

hey i own a 2005 650 rincon. all ive ever owned is hondas. i had a 1990 300, 2004 450 and now my 650. i put all 3 through hell the only thing i did to the 300 was a muffler and i never put a dime into the 450. the only complaints about the 650 are the front differential doesnt lock and the top end just isnt there. hondas have always been slower and the only ones with independant suspension are the 650s. some of my friends own brute forces and both the 650 and 750s will leave the rincon in the dust. u can also chip the kawis they will do upwards of 120km/h and the hondas will only do 100. i dont think the brute force will take the abuse like the hondas will but they do rip and i am also looking into buying one.
