Looks like a Brute to me.

IM sure that they will make the team green in the 750i. They will want to push ther big quad. But I agree they should make it in the 650 too. That would be a good choice. Its just if they will make enough money on it. So talk it up and they might do it.

Just to be clear, I was not talking about wanting a green BF650. I want to see a BF 750 SRA chassis. It seems clear that after riding my dads BF750i and the multiple rag reviews, the BF750i does not handle the power all that well, however since I own a twin peaks 800, so I can speak from first hand experince that the SRA prarie chassis can handel the power much better than the IRS chassis. I personaly think they got the powertrains backwords in the BF series. If you think about it, the Prarie has been king of the big bores for 3 years in a row now in most of the magazines without IRS. Now they have an even bigger bore ute with IRS and it gets last place in the DW 3 way shootout,and its not looking good in the initial reviews for winning the title in the other rag either. It was beet by a Polaris for god sakes. I think that kinda shows how important the SRA chassis was to the combo. I would bet we would be looking at a 4th consecutive year, if they had just put the new 750 motor inthe SRA chassis. It would be so simple to do it, I just wish they would figure it out and get to building it .

LOL, that figures, because I just ordered a Works Ultracross rear shock for a V-Force to go on my Prairie 700, and a set of Works front struts as well. Having the best sport utility gets expensive when they keep upping the ante. I still hope it true though.

Hey, OuterLimit what will the new shocks do for your quad. I have been thinking about a set for my STP800, just have not herd much about them or what I would gain by getting them. I kinda like my front stuts now but I think the rear could use alittle something. If you don't mind me asking what does a good set like your talking about cost.

By using the Works front struts and a Works Ultracross rear shock for a V-Force on your Prairie you gain about an inch and a half of suspension travel at both ends, and have much better suspension damping, so that your ATV corners flatter and absorbs the bumps better. You need to use a remote reservoir on the rear shock for it to fit. It will cost about $1100 to do both ends with Works components.

We made a proto 800 about a year and a half ago. We also made a 850. Which im sure you will see that soon. Who knows where this will stop. Probably till someone kills themseves going 150 mph on a 4X4.
