Default BF650 vs. BF650i

A local Kawi dealer is going out of business and I just got a price of $5400.00+tax no freight or set up, for an 06 BF650. I currently ride a Z400 set up for XC +1, RAZORS, Shocks etc.. I like the idea of the SRA because I have never owned a ute before but is the 650i a much better quad, do they have the same engine and just a diff frame/susp/plastics? Is $5800.0 OTD a good price for the 650?

i dunno about the price, but lots of people prefer the SRA. i happened to like the IRS, but i won't pretend that my choice is best for you. the performance of these two could be made even with the price difference (maybe more). bottom line- IMO you won't be handicapped with a SRA if that is what you want.

NO! I paid $5300 OTD for my 06 BF 650i. The 650 should run you about $500 less. Shop around the net for some good online dealers. You can also do a search on the ATV forums for online dealers.

How is that possible? Does that price include sales tax? I bought the 650 for $5400+tax(7%)+title OTD was $5818. I have several dealers near me and they all deal, alot, including the forum sponsor A&B Xtreme and that was the BEST price I found. I checked in Toledo, Oh, where I bought my Z400 and they were 5699+tax so were several other dealers in Cleveland and Columbus and Pittsburgh, Pa. I basically called every dealer within 2 hours of me and the price I paid was the BEST I could find, the dealer I bought it from is going out of business.

BTW, I made the right decision with the 650 vs the 650i for the way I ride. The SRA, while not as smooth as the IRS, handles awsome(as far as I can tell in the 7miles I've put on it). It slides like my XC quad and the power is ridiculous. The only other Ute that I have put alot of time on is a Polaris 500 HO so I wasnt really expecting much from the BF, I WAS WRONG!!!!

TCMAN.wher did you get that price. I haven't heard of anyone getting their quads for anything close to that cheap. I thought I did great with my price. I paid 6210.00 for my 650i, and that was after several dealers haggling each other.

The carbs are not the same size and the suspension and the body work is not the same.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Decided on the '07 BF 650 SRA. Got it for $6650 OTD. The best deal that I found was for $6300...but I opted to pay a few hundred dollars more for the convenience of buying 5 miles down the road. He had to order it to get an '07 in Team Green...so I should have it by next week.

I don't know if I got a good deal or not. I paid $5800.00 before taxes on a 06 brute 650 camo. I guess it dosn't matter if it was a good deal or not as long as think it was a good deal thats all that matters.
