Default brute force or prairie 700

Well, I own both a BF and a TP700. The ONLY problem with the TP700 is that after I get off my BF and get on the TP, it feels down on power.

CAM650, everyone is saying that the BF has more power. That’s not a issue.
The front end is to light and with the BF750 so watch you *** going up hill. Does not handle as well as Prarie on corners.

Minimus,

Have you been on a BF up a steep hill? I have. The front end is easily controllable and you don't have to watch your a$$. The handling differences are well documented but not as pronounced as you might think. I own both and get a chance to test that theory daily. When I put ATR's on my BF it became a different quad.

Apples and oranges maybe but it is more like Dos Equis and Bud. A quality beer and a beer for the masses.

I test drove the BF750, P700, and a Honda Rincon today. The BF750 felt very big and bulky! The P700 and Rincon both sat and handled a lot alike, but the P700 had more nutts! Needless to say I will have my P700 in Team Green (IS there any other color for a Kawasaki!!!) early next week. I thought that the IRS would give a much better ride than it did. It was very stiff and handled like an 18 wheeler. I guess if you want big it is the machine for U, if you want handling and a smooth ride it should be the P700.

I'm sick of getting hung up on my 650, I want clearance, I want an IRS!!!

Tired and sore from getting RACKED, any of you with a solid rear axel know what I am talking about. Going over angled bumps, rip to the left, then rip to the right as your rear end goes over the angled ridge and I mean RIPPED/RACKED not just swayed.

I will NEVER go back to a single cylinder from the Big V, vibrating, sick sounding and passe.

Bring on the Brute.

Kawasaki,

I agree 110% , I can see how an rookie might have problems but anyone with some skill won't have any problems with the BF , it handles great ,much better than the Grizz and Polaris , the Rincon handles good but does not have enough power to get it out of shape. I went from a prairie to the BF and the ride is awsome on the BF and it handles great , not as good as the priaire but still just fine and the low gearing on the BF is much better for big tires and pulling , belts should do even better than they do on the prairies.
