Looking at both of these....great machines. What do you all think? I love the ride of the 650i....love the ride and power of the 2005 750

Assuming they are both in same condition, I would get the 750 just because it's got the 750 engine. Always use synth oil on that engine and don't use it as a submarine.

Default 05 brute

well i bought it about two years ago with 2000 miles on it now ive got almost 3000 and i currently go low on oil every time i ride (not a lot) even though i have no leaks or smoke other than that just normal stuff for a quad with this milage, you know..... bushings, seals, that kind of thing, but the motor runs STRONG and i ride it hard! going to put the Moose power module in it in next couple days, cant wait to see how that does, the thing lifts the front end now with no trouble or pulling on it, oh yeah the thing goes though snow like a snowmobile with stock tires on it. This past winter went trail riding (on hills no less) with a foot of fresh snow no problem also during driving bans can rip down the road at 70 mph hey just cause cars and trucks cant handle buffalo winters i still need to get beer!

I have '05 BF750 also but maxes out at about 65-66 on a good day on falt dirt trail. Is your top speed 70 from GPS reading or the dash meter?

go low on oil every time you ride? That would concern me. Respectfully...
3000 miles doesnt seem like a lot to me. Ive heard of many machines pushing the 10k mile range. Hmmmm. interesting.

Both the 750 and 650 are great powerfull engines but are know to eat oil and spin bearings. In short thay are knot known for being the longest lasting engines made!
