I had a offer of $ 4500 for my p650. Gave it thought & read all info & I'm keeping p650. I adjusted back shock on my 650 & I'm not selling.The brute doesn't attract me with it's tippeness on off camber.Smoother ride doesn't make up
for instibilty off camber,.5 mph faster is not a draw.I'll keep it. Brushog

 

Maybe you should wait until Kawasaki ups the cc's to 800 next year. j/k

It's probably better to wait and make sure the Brute doesn't have any flaws. You could always change your mind again down the road.

 

Brush hog -- Did you adjust your shock all the way down? How much you weigh? Ride better stiffer?

 

I just got me a Brute and will have to admitt it takes some getting used to, I've only rode SRA bikes until now and it feels a little scary at first, but I came real close to buying a P700 I like the way the P650 and P700 feel.ride what you like.

 

I'm still debating on which machine to purchase. I liked my Pairie 650 because I was able to slide the big machine around corners. I do like the sportier feel. The only reason I sold it is because I was laid off and was forced too. This year is a different story.

Does anyone know how the Prairie 650 compares to the 700 in torque and speed? I'm not all about top speed, but I do like pulling power and torque.

The difference is VERY noticeable down low and the mid-range.

 

I weigh 140 I'm 5'8. The reason I considered buying the Brute was because of the smoother ride on rough trails. My back,neck & knee all are injured.I can't stand up & ride for very long or I will hurt bad. I adjusted my rear shock almost all the way softer. Made a hell of a difference. Should have done it long before now. Really made the bike much better for me. Didn]t take fender or wheel off to remove it. Jacked the back of bike up from rear rack & blocked front wheels. Top bolt nut is hard to get to but by bending plastic up under seat you can get to it.Plastic went rite back with a little effort. I was being beat to death & it rides so much smoother now.I was amazed how much better for me. Brushog

 

Im passing on the BF also. If I was going to buy a different atv at the moment it would be the Suzuki KQ700. I think its close to perfect on paper but as you know the proof is in the riding.

 

Ironbear, got any ATV pulls down your way, some of us maineboys might be interested in coming down after some trophies.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

I sure like the looks of that 700 Susuki too, it looks like it sits real low for an IRS.
Will wait and see how that big ole single does. BF looks pretty tall to me.
