Considering that there is only 1 Brute Force in Canada right now...and likely only a couple in the US that Kawasaki lets only a very select few ride..I'd be surprised if you read something about the suspension not being good.

I have ridden it and it works great

And Hellya...it comes in Green, red..and camo. That desert yellow will be in limited supply

 

My thoughts:

1) Plastic looks like the V-Force plastic, thick and if it rolled it would crack. Not as bad as the SE plastic but still bad. I prefer the old Kawi plastic, thin stuff that flexes.

2) IRS is good for alot of things and alot of people but I hope they offer a SRA option.

3) Weight 604 lbs? What did they sacrifice to attain that weight?

4) EFI is sure to come and my bet is it will be next year on the Brute. But next year it will be an 800 and the 750 will be put back down to a 700 or 650 I bet. So they will have less competition to their 800 Brute and then market the 700/650 Brute much cheaper.

5) I like the looks of it, its sorta ugly but it grows on you.

6) Platic floor boards????????? WTF???? I have dents underneath my floorboards. I will never buy a quad with plastic floor boards. NEVER!!!

7) I like the removal of the black plastic trim.


Now all we need is the full spec sheet and it better not bust axles but from the looks of it it won't be different than any other IRS quad. Axle happy snapping quad. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

 

Its a good thing that Desest Yellow is in Limited supply, because the color is butt ugly

 

Whats so good about SRA? I thought IRS was the only way to go?

 

Kawiguy will it come in the Team Green?

 

The SRA option will be called a KVF700.....lol

The finish is called TPO..thermal plastic olefin, which is scratch resistant

Wait for the spec sheets to come out to see thw weight reductions..

And the green...its hunter green. The red is more of a deeper, cherry like red.

 

kawaiguy is the kvf700 going to have dual a-arms in front? I hate those prairie struts.

Also, is this TPO plastic flexible or brittle?

 

I don't think it looks to bad and Im sure it will grow on a lot of us!,,, The plastic on the new brute almost looks like the limited edition plastic they used on the vforce? If they used that rigid plastic they'll be a lot of break-in when the big brute rubs a few trees?? It looks like the Grizzly, Sportsman 700s Arctic Cat 650s and the Rincon Riders etc. Seem to be who Kawasaki is going after. Oh and convert a few of us to IRS, I guess? For the guy that wants more of a sport quad feel the Prairie is still my choice! Set up for more speed and having fast fun and not caring about total luxury!~LOL. I owned a Rincon and thought IRS was very nice but I like the sport quad feel more! I cant wait on see the new 650/700? Im wondering if they make a new 650 what is to become of the 700? will it be a one or two year production quad? Just a few of my thoughts for now Cant wait to read more about it and see what others say? I know if I was one of the chosen few to get to ride it I wouldn't have ANYTHING bad to say~LOL~ I would want to be invited back to test again!
