How does the 08 Brute Force 750 handle and ride in comparison to the KQ 750? Not how much power or how fast only how does it handle since they redesigned the suspension?

Hard too tell.I have a V Force that I used too ride that my 12 year old now rides since we sold his bayou.Feels plush too me but I was used too riding the Force and you can't compare the too.I think the Poo rides better with it"s massive weight but the two are not even in the same league in all aspects-power-reliability-resale-weight.

The only two atvs I am trying to compare are the Brute Force and the Suzuki King Quad 750. Not interested in any other brands

I had the kq before I got the 08 brute and they both handle well...I like how the brute handles better. The stearing is much easier on the brute. The kq has very twitchy stearing whereas the brute is very light and effortless. The shocks on the brute are better in my opinion. My kq shocks werent stiff enough and I was always bottoming out on it.

I have the same exact question as Syrupdawg. I have an 06 Brute Force 650i, and I am selling it to a friend because he has bad credit and I don't mind helping him out. Now my question is this What do I get? I love the 650i but felt it was a little rough on the ride, not as bad as the bashers say but not the best ride out there either, WHAT RIDES BETTER THE BF 750, OR THE KQ 750? NOT WHAT IS FASTER, WE ALL KNOW THAT ANSWER, WHAT HANDLES BETTER, THE NEW BF WITH THE NEW SUSPENSION OR TH KQ? ALSO DOES THE YAMAHA GRIZZLY 700 WITH POWER STEERING RIDE AS NICE OR BETTER THEN THESE TWO? Thanks for your input. kk

I had the kq 700 and I like how the new brute handles better. The kq 700 had very twitchy stearing which caused me to hurt my wrist a couple times. Suzuki didnt make any handling improvements to the 750. The 08 brute has several handling improvements. The shocks on the brute are much better and it is definatley a lot easier to stear compared to the kq.
