I'm buying new likely this friday. My priorities are #1 ride comfort, and seat comfort. I have a bad back. Then of course I like power and acceleration. I will trail ride it and occasional yard work. Thanks.

 

IF YOU WANT THE BEST RIDING QUAD YOU NEED TO BE LOOKING AT THE POLARIS SPORSMAN LINE. SPORTSMANS ARE NOT THE MOST POWERFULL STOCK QUADS BUT THEY ARE HANDS DOWN THE BEST RIDING QUAD OUT THERE!

 

I hate to tell anyone to bye a po-po, but DODGE57HEMI is right they are hands down the best ride of the bunch.

 

I have owned several polaris quads. My last was a grizzly 660. I have narrowwed my choices down to the KQ750axi, the BF750i, and the OL800efi.
Looking for smoothest ride and most comfortable seat of those three. Thanks.

 

I have heard several good things about the outlander, as far as ride quality and stability, and the power is tough to match. Be aware of the front Visco-lok 4WD though, it is a POS. If you are not into heavy stuff all the time it should be fine. On the flip side, the brute has plenty of snap, and I have had very good luck with my V-twin Prairie

 

I have never ridden the KQ or Outty. While the BF is many things, a nice comfy ride it is not. I find myself standing up over rough terrain a lot more on my 05 BF than I ever did on my 98 Sportsman. If I could fit my Sportsman into my living room I would probably sell my sofa.

 

the 08 brute is very comfortable compared to the previous years and handles better than the kq........I previously had the kq 700 and the 08 brute is way better in all aspects.........nothing like a vtwin engine.......the outy is nice but way overpriced

 

well, surprise, I say go for the Brute...LOL

popo is hands down comfort machine....
KQ will seem very light to you if you ride it. I dont know much about the Outlander other than all the power I hear about.

One suggestion is to go try the 700 Grizz. It rides nice, has EFI and power steering...I'd say that would be might first thought after a Brute...

 

the bad thing about the kq is that it has very twitchy stearing.........the new brute has very light stearing, almost effortless..... The popo has a comfortable seat and thats it....It doesnt handle good and its hard to stear....just my opinion.

 

Out of those three, I'd go with the Outlander. The Outlander will cost the most too but if you need Comfy, then the Outlander won't dissappoint you. Get the '08 Model, vasty improved, better overall.
