Default king quad 700 or brute force 650i

If anyone owns both or between you and a friend have both. could you give me some comparisons between both, pros, cons, ect....
I seem to keep changing my mind on what to buy. it's between these two now and I can buy either for about the same price as the other.

If it were my money, I'd be buying the Suzuki King Quad. It's a more well-rounded bike and it's fuel injected. It'll start way easier in the winter. The Brute Force is slightly (yes slightly!) faster. Other than that, it doesn't really have anything on the King. The King Quad is also one of the best handling, most stable quads out there with rear independent suspension.

the KQ is a good bike, but it, does have handling issues. check the castor mod threads on the boards. the KQs handlebars will go hard left or hard right sometimes on tricky terrain.

the brute usually costs less. has more power.

EFI doesn't do squat for me. i ride in the cold and huge elevation changes and never thought "gee i wish i had EFI right now".

but the king has the better 4x4 engagement system and fuel economy.

on the trails, they will go exactly the same places with the same effort. i ride with a KQ sometimes, and any performance difference either way is tiny compared to the human factor. the rider makes more difference by far.

the seating position of the KQ is wierd to me, probably just one of those things that would grow on you, tho.
