Default Which one do I buy?



Looking for a little help here! I had about made my mind up on the Brute Force 650i. I called around my area trying to find the best price. I have quotes from 3 different dealers for the 650 sra, 650i, and 750i. The cheapest 650 sra is $5950, $6359 for the i, and $6650 for the 750 i. I had decided on the 650i, but the 750i sounds like a better deal. Which one should I get for mostly trail and mud riding? Any oppinions would be appreciated.

Thanks

What are the model years on the 650i and 750i? There have been some improvements and slight modifications between the '05 and '06 models.

Soonerwade, I see your from Hooks. If you want to see a 650 sra, 700 prairie, and 750 brute in action then come to Foulke on sat. the 1'st. I'll have a 650 sra brute and 700 prairie with me and my neighbor will have his 750 brute. We'll all be out at Caswells if you know where that is, if not I'll give you directions, doing some drag racing and having some fun shooting the bull. It would be a great time for you to get hooked up with some local riders and should help you decide what quad you want. I live in Texarkana off of Richmond road so you can follow us out it you want. Did you happen to be at Whiteheads weekend before last? If you were then we may have already seen each other I was the guy who won the atv sled pulls. If your looking at buying from Lane at Rodgers Marine tell him Jay said to do better than that because I know he can[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Thanks for the info FASTFATBOY. I haven't ridden in a couple of years, so we probably haven't seen each other unless you have been to Redwater. I talked to Lane and he quoted me $6600 on the sra and 7000 on the 650i. Of course I had never met him before.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] His are both camo and the other ones are solid colors or he would be pretty close to them. Out of those which one do you like the best and would reccomend?

Man it all really depends on your riding style. If you like the feel of a quick and nimble sport quad then I'd say the sra. But if you are gonna be doing alot of deep mudding and want a little smother ride then I'd say the irs. It's kind of a toss up really. The sra handles better on tight trails if your trying to go fast, the irs does ok the sra is just better designed for fast trail riding. If you slow trail ride the the irs will be better suited for you. Likewise the irs is a little better suited for deep mud and will out perform the sra there. It all depends on how you ride and who you ride with because you never want to be the low man on the totum pole. That's why I said come on out and we'll let you cruise around on ours and see what you like the best before you drop 6 grand on something. Also I've got a 650 sra in my shed right now that has 500 miles on it. It belongs to my cousin who is looking to sell it. It's an 05 with winch, wheels, and 26" itp 589's, a slip on pipe and it's been rejetted.. He'll take $1600 less than what Lane quoted you. Your more than welcome to come ride it and check it out.
