Everyone I ride with has Polaris or Yamaha. I don't think I've ever seen a King Quad on the trail either. Probably nothing wrong with them. Just not popular around here. Same thing with Kawasaki. Haven't seen one in years.

 

Well I went and checked them out today and rode both the 08 King Quad 750 and the 08 Grizzly 700 w/ EPS and I have to tell you that the King Quad is the winner. I will admit that the EPS on the Grizz is sweet , but not sweet enough to beat out the KQ to me, The KQ motor is much smoother, quieter and more responsive and the ride IMO of the KQ is way better than the Griz. They have a little test track behind the dealership that has ruts and whooped di dooos and the King Quad simply rides like a dream, I cant believe how it soaked up the rutted terrain. Am waiting as we speak to hear back on the credit app and she 's getting a winch and 26" ITP's before I pick her up. I am absolutely amazed on how much difference there is in riding both the Griz and the KQ compared to my Honda Foreman 450 ES that I sold the other day. Man these Quads have come a long ways over the years!

I am going from a long time owner of Hondas to the world of IRS and simply cant decide on which is the best thing going. I have looked at the King Quad 750 AXI, Grizzly 700, and the Brute Force 750. I am open to all input on which one you'd pick and why. The first thing I have noticed is that the KQ and BF can be had for quite a bit less than the Griz, but I dont want money to be the only decision of teh purchase. I ride in deep mud, creek crossings, lots of sidehilling on Alaskas uneven mountainous terrain and will tow a heavy meat trailer occassionally when hunting. Fuel consumption is also something I am concerned with with these power monger machines so if one really eats the juice please tell me.Thanks in advance for any and all opinions</end quote></div>


There is some good info in this PDF covering last years models


but personaly. Grizzly 700 is the only choice. And the powers steering is awsome.

 

I think thats the wrong pdf cuz it doesn't list any of the utility quads except Polaris.

 

Good luck with the new quad.

As for me it will still be the Grizz as where I ride the rocks and tree stumps tear you pretty good so the P/S wood be a nice feature to have. The power issue is not that big of a deal as you rarly use all of it anyway (hence the Popo 600) but that is me, hope you decision works good for you.

Here is a good way to compare the two on paper!

congrats on the King...here is a site with a lot of info on the KQ http://www.nyrocatv.com/forum....wcat=4&viewtopic=9439


be sure to check out the castor mod to elimiate the twitchy steering

 

Thanks for that website. Heres a few pics of the old girl, she came home today.

 

I recently bought an Arctic cat 700. But if I was to do it again, without a second thought...I would buy a can-am 800 . Lots of controlable power, handles great, seat and steering very comfortable...wish I never even tried my friends!!!
I tried the polaris 800 and the honda 680 too.

 

well. have fun on it. i would have gone with the grizzly because i use them for pulling heavy things like 1.5 ton hay wagons and such. i need power out of an ATV as well as comfortable riding.

but nice to know you bought one anyways. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
