Default Need info on Kawi brand?

I'm selling my honda rubicon and I'm looking for something with IRS and more ground clearance
I've been looking alot at the yamaha grizz 660 and some at the king quad 700, I've started to
look a little at the Kawi brand, but I don't know that much about the never rode with anyone
that has owned a Kawi are they dependable how is the ride and what about ground clearance
are they tippy, I've only owned honda but some of the guys I ride with have grizz 660's
I rode one for a very short distance and the ride was good, not worried much about power
I do want low end grunt.

If you like ground clearance, look at AC also. They have the most of anyone

v2rider I've looked at the AC units and they have a one brake system in which I've had experance with
and it wasn't pleasant I like to have front and rear brakes not just a central braking system and it doesn't
matter what kind of engine braking the unit has when brakes go that when you need them most, but
the AC do have good ground clearance and a good ride but the braking system stopped me from looking
at them any further.

I went to buy a Grizz 660 but ended up with the Brute Force 650i instead only because the dealer gave me a great price. The BF ride is plush and it has plenty of ground clearance but the best thing about this quad is the low center of gravity with the gas tank under the seat. It was night and day difference from my Kodiak which has always been kinda tippy.

I hear the Grizzly is being completely changed for the new model year so maybe it will be less tippy but the Brute Force is worth looking into.

I narrowed it down to the King Quad and the 650i, I went with the 650i because of the power in the low end, that was more important to me then efi, kk
