look at the 650i. better manners than the 750 with just about the same power. we really gotta know how you plan to use the new atv to give you any real help tho.

mud or speed-bf 750
trail or speed- bf 650i
all around great machine-KQ

I ride with a KQ alot. It is not near as fast, quick or fun as my brute. It is like riding on a cloud though. Very smooth, soft seat, easy handling. With some getting use to and being a good rider, the 750 will be a much better machine in the end.

If you want the feel of a racing quad, maybe a BF650 SRA would be better fit. Not quite as fast, but the solid axle gets through the turns, and slides easier.

the brute was what I was thinking since it is a bigger engine and would want to still be able to keep up with the 450's but still be able to go mudding. Pretty much the all around vehicle.Thanks guys te only thing ive heard bad about the bf was the handling and the heat shields tend to loosen up after a little while.

Loctite the 2 heat shields bolts(screws) and you will never have the problem again.
Get the WORKS Suspension on (All 4) and you will not believe the super handling of the BF750 vs Stock.

if you want it to feel sporty get the brute... but before you do go ride a kingquad then go ride a brute. the kingquad feels like a utility fourwheeler when you ride it nomatter how you look at it. the brute on the other hand feels big and fast.
