Hello, I only ever owned polaris atvs (WHICH I LOVE AND ARE THE BEST) but i am looking into a 06 brute bcause its cheap. I can get it from the dealer for 4200 out the door total. Is it a good deal i think its a steal. Is there anything i should know about the brutes compared to the polaris atv and what are some of your opinions a sportsman vs. a brute. I know power and speed is a major + for the brute but im more concerned about ride, Do the brutes rude nice and such just any basic info on them are they reliable and what is with the sway bars on them do they just pop out on there own??
Thanks, Polaris man with issues

 

heres how i look at the 2. sportsman like a cadillac, powerful enough to do what u want with it, but the ride is better than all others. bf like any sports car, very fast and powerful. handles very well, but rides like a tank

 

I owned a 07 Sortsman 800. The ride is softer, it rolls alot in turn. But very comfortable. I was going through belts about every 150 miles. The Brute Force I have is an 06 and does not have fuel injection. But man does it have power. And its about 150 lbs lighter than the Polaris. It all depends what your looking for. You can't go wrong with either in my opion. P.S. I beat the heck out of my Polaris plowing snow and dirt and held up. Only problem was the belt thing. Good luck.

 

I wouldnt buy a brute force for 1500 bucks new... you'd have 4k in repairs in it in a few years anyway.. they are fast.. thats it... BEWARE!
