What to do, BF?
Right now I have a 01 Rubicon and a 03 z400 and I’m thinking about trading them in on a brute force. But I really don’t know how the BF will do keeping up with other sports quads in high speed trail rides and road riding. Anyone with the BF have any help full feedback on this machine as for speed, and handling?

If you want power and speed, as well as handling on the trails...P700 is your best bet if you have to buy Utility 4X4.
If all of your buddies ride sport quads, you will hate being on a heavy utility. If there is a mix of Utilities in there I would say go for the P700.
If speed and handling are all you care about, just go buy a 660 Raptor and tell your buddies to buy gas masks because all they will be breating is your smoke and dust.
You have to ask yourself why you want/need a utility ATV..
I need one because I plan on carrying camping equipment and a girl on the back for the most part, which makes me want/need a large bore utility.
If you dont need alot of gear, and dont plan on mowing or plowing snow, and are riding for speed and handling, you probably dont need a Utility ATV.
Give us more to go on as far as your needs and what conditions you are wanting to ride in, as well as the others that you ride with.

Read up on a guy named Mike Penland, he rides a P700 through tight woods and wins races.
Just seeing his ride on the SpeedChannel was enough to make me want to go buy one.. seeing it in action is sick.
I too am thinking about buying a BF.. so I am with ya bro..
But until things change in my mind, the BF feels like a CJ5 Jeep with a 454 chevy in it to me. Too much motor for the suspension they give ya.
