I've narrowed it down to two. The KingQuad 450AXi 4x4 or the sportsman 500efi.

What exactly are these changes from 07-08 on the KingQuad 450AXi 4x4? I'm looking at a dealer that has some left over 07's and will give me a heck of a deal on. But are these changes enough of a reason to just go with an 08?

By the looks of things only the price change from 07 to 08.

 

First of all, everyone has their own favorites, so Stang302, don't let ANYONE "tell" you what to buy based on "brand x is crap, brand y is expensive to fix,etc" It is YOUR MONEY, and you will be stuck with the choice you make for a while not us. I think it is great you are looking for good choices based on others experience, but PLEASE go ride every one you are considering so you can make your own decision, not that guys here are right or wrong, but I'm sure there is a little brand loyalty in some of the answers. (not that there is anything wrong with that). So make your list, as long as you want it, and go test riding, that's the best part !! Read the brochures at the dealers to find out all the info you can, and good luck, please let us know what you decide on.

 

I stoped by the dealer buy my work tonight. Had a few minutes to kill. Went in and sat on a few quads. There test track doesn't open for two weeks so I won't be able to test them out quite yet.

Kawi brute 750i: It just didn't fit me. The seat felt realy wide, thus felt like i had a wide spread of my legs. And thought I'm almost unable to firmly plant my feet on the pegs with out trying to strech my self out. Second the lever for the dif lock is a joke. I don't know about you but i can't sit there and hold on to it when you consitrating on other things. Worst of the day.

Yamaha grizzly 700 w/power steering: seeting possition was good and fit me to a glove. Except for one thing. Why the heck is the display panel down near the front rack??? How the heck are you supossed to see it while running on any trail with out looking down all the time!

My winners: Suzuki kingquad 750 & 450

Seating possition is excelent and everything is right were its suposed to be. And seems to be the biggest bang for the buck.

Can't wait to get back there in two weeks to try them out and take one home with me!
