I had a chance to spend a couple of hours on a BF that my dad had bought and had up in colorado last week and I will say the unit is stronger than I thought it would be in the power department but, I will stick with my original opinion overall. The Dirt wheels article was pretty acurate as far as the way it handles, it does have a very strong push in the cornering department and the ride quality was not all that great for an IRS. We were able to get a notable improvement in the ride quality and a marginal improvement in the corrnering by adjusting the shocks to there softest settings. I love the extra power and still undesided on the styling. I think if kawi would drop the motor into the Prarrie chassis I would be first inline with a deposite. I still prefer to be able to play, and the big Brute is not much on the playing concept. I spent all day on my STP700 for 6 days and over 600 miles of mountain triails, over bolders, jumps and all the powerslides I wanted to do, I never got stuck or high centerd, only banged the skidplates a few times, and to me its still the king.
