I am sure if you look around you can find a really good used one too for pretty cheap

 

If you go into my 650 pictures you will see a kimpex box which works perfect for keeping your passenger in the middle of the bike on our 650's. The very long seat and straight axle that doesn't squat makes it like it's just a heavier person on the quad.

I think the Brute would squat on take off and be trickery on the slopes with two on.

The Prairie and this box is the way to go,

I rode double on mine and almost flipped it the first day I owned it, scarey going up hills! It is not pleasant and you have to keep letting off the gas for the front end to come down so you can steer even on straightaways. The Brute force is a terrible bike to try and ride double on. I'm not bashing it, it just wasn't designed with that in mind.

 

LOL DOA. I know in Ontario, it is also illegal to ride double on single seat quad. Is it legal in NS?

Yah... everywhere I go, I ask about the 2up on a single seater ATV and nobody can give me a black and white answer. It is a widely done thing here specialy in Quebec where most of the trail riding would be done... I have friends that ride 2up on a 2004 Grizzly and before that on a 1991 Big Bear for years and has never had a problem police or trail officials, although a proper "seat" must be bolted to the rack and passenger must be wearing proper safety gear, as usual. I plan on going to the local police station and finding out at the source. But a 2 up machine is really not what I'm after... guess it's decision making time. I understand that the BF750 is a powerfull machine and that loading up the rear would make the front end even lighter when provoked, but is not possible to be driven with more finess and be no different then a 300cc bike with IRS???


DAO... do you not find yourself crowded when 2 people are on the seat for a long period of time?

Thanks for the insight

 

I've read quite a bit about tippiness on the Brute. Widening the stance would be in order if you go that way.

 

Hey ALL4ATV. I think most states have a web site like this one that should give you the regulations.
Michigan Atv Rules
I know Ontario has a similar web site.

ALL4ATV,

I haven't carried anybody on long rides but have had a couple buddies on in behind my house for a short rip, I did lean ahead for them.(lol)

I had my 200 pound sisterinlaw on and it handled and rode great, I can go up steep hills etc. with no problem where they are not sitting on the back rack. It handles like there is only one person on it.

If I had a girlfriend to go with me on back, it would be perfect being able to lean into each other like on a motorcycle. A motorcycle is tight for two guys too but with a girl on back they work GREAT. A guy asked a friend to take him for a drive on his harley, buddy said, NO, you don't have breasts.

I'm about the same,

 

Tippiness is not a problem on the brute , they are very stable , they just put so much power to the ground and with a extra person it takes away balance from the front, they prairie is definitely one the best 1 person atvs made if you are going to carry a person but a outlander 400 max is the best out for that purpose but as far as IRS quads go the brute does good , it does not squat near as bad as some of the others , I ride with a couple of sportsmans and they have about 4 inches of rear clearence when they ride double.

MnFriesen , BRP is used to cover all of bomb. products , it covers rotax , seadoo , bomb. atv's, johnson/evinrude . Here is a link to the atv site

my Polaris 700 was a great 2 person quad also. All you have to do is look at where a passenger will be sitting in relation to the rear axles, if they are sitting in front of them, its fairly stable. On the Brute and the Grizzly 660, the passenger actually sits behind the rear axles, that makes the quad front end come up too easy, add all that power and you've really got a situation.
