I have a chance to buy a 05 kawasaki brute force 650 4x4 v-twin carburated. Is this a comfortable,reliable quad? I can get it for $2500. Is this a good deal? Being that it is a v-twin does it suck gas like crazy or is it good on gas?Also does it ride hard with the rear swing arm?? My polaris has IRS and i LOVE IT!! It is the nicest rideing quad you will ever drive. My brother has a Arctic Cat 700 efi and he has put about $1500 into it in only about a year just to pay for parts. I have a 05 polaris sportsman and then we have a spare quad.My brother is usually driving the spare cause his is always broke. So this quad is going to be driven when his quad is broke not all the time. Also it will not be beat or hammerd. Is this quad going to be like the Arctic cat? Im sorry for such a long post but i want to get the right info. I didnt do this for the arctic cat and now were stuck with a piece of junk. So please help cause i dont think its going to be for sale for to long at that price. Sincerely, Polaris man with issues

 

The Kawi 650's are one of the best motors ever put into a bike. You will probably be pleasantly suprised at how well they do on fuel. Kawi's are for the most part to be very reliable and well built bikes. If Kawi have any falt it is usualy with tranny issues. Keep a good on on the belt and all its workings and you should be good to go. Kawi's are typical Jappanies built bike made for the long haul and I am willing to bet it will vastly become you new favorite bike of the ones you mentioned. Good luck with the new purchase!
