Just picked up my dealers first brute force, got a camo model for $7500 out the door. It did not come with the storage tube and my dealer felt it should be a freebee and not an option.

First impression: NICE, plenty more power than my 650 and rides way better than my 360. braking is better, turning radius seems smaller (maybe due to the stock dunflops and not the 26"mudlites my other quads run).

I have a cabin in northern idaho rented for a 7 days, this will be a great place to evaluate the quad.

Congrats on the new purchase. I'm sure you will enjoy it.

Any chance of taking some pictures of the new camo toy?

After break-in, please report back and let us know what your top-speed is as compared to your P650 top-speed.

Happy trails...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Now lets hope my camo BF gets here soon. My dealer just got in a green one, but not my camo one yet. I am hoping to have it before this weekend as I am going to West Virginia for a ride. If not, I will ride the Ozark.

I got to race a BF750 today at my local dealer. Needless to say it killed me in .1 mile. It was what looked like 3 atv lengths ahead of me. I have videos and will try to get them up tonight on my website. I wanted to race the P700 but they brought out the big boy.

Rode yesterday with a guy who had the new BruteForce. Also had 2 Honda 450es models in the group. I watched both the Honda's get stuck in a few mud holes that the BruteForce just crawled through. I was impressed. The independent rear was fun to watch too. He had a lot easier time in the off-camber situations. I am a Honda fan but this seems to be an awesome 4X4.

The Ozark had been a real good machine for what I paid for it ($3,000). It has been real dependable and low maintenance. It is slightly faster than a Recon (we have raced them just for kicks) and handles real nice for its size. It is geared fairly low and doesn't have a ton of power, but more than adequate for my wife's riding style. My only real complaint about the machine is that it is rather hard to shift. It shifts pretty good when you are out riding, but when you are trying to manuever around the garage or in tight places, it is a little harder than it should be. Hope this helps.
