2005 Brute Force 750 pricing?????/
So, I have the opportunity to buy one of two bikes:
1. 2005 Brute Force 750 with 10 hours and 65 miles in mint condition. What is a good price for it? I was thinking in the $4500 range since it has no warranty or service records. What are your thoughts? The bike is stock except for the addition of a winch and front bag. It looks like it was used 2x's! However, I know that the 2005 models had some problems. Were most rectified with recalls or easily fixed?
2. 2005 Polaris 700 EFI with a 30 month warranty for $5k. The seller in including a bunch of stuff (helmet, ramps, etc.) and maintenance receipts. The bike is in new condition as well.
I currently ride a 2002 Prairie 650 and love the thing. I just want to get an additional bike for friends/family to use. Given my choices, which would you pick and why? Thanks for your anticipated responses.

kawasaki will still honor all the recall stuff. any dealer can check the vin# to see if it's been done. it's hard to find a 1 1/2 year old atv with that kind of low hours. stay away from the polaris,a long warranty is nice but sucks when your bringing it in to the shop 2-3 times a year.

as i agree with both of the previous posts and myself would go for the brute, but if you are not going to ride it, only family or friends then i would say the polaris. the brute can be a handful and possibly dangerous for someone who doesnt ride a BF750 all the time. the polaris is fast as well just not as wild as the brute.

Brand new Brute 750s cost $6000 with winch and plow in my neck of the woods (PA). Why would anyone pay close to that for a used one? Suckers...
