Default Is it worth upgrading to '12 brute from norm FI ?

Hoping someone on here has upgraded from a FI 750 to the 2012 version. My 09 750 only has 635 miles in it, and I'm perplexed about upgrading to a 2012 that the dealer immediately came down to 8500 from the 10k, simply because it's that fugly scout green. Just wonderin if anyone has done it this way, or if I'm better off avoiding the trouble and keep ridin what I got thanks

I just purchased a 2012 brute 650 (carbed) and I personally don't see why you would spend the money to make the change as I do not see ever needing any additional gain you MIGHT get from the upgrade. Stick with what you know you have...

The ride is tons better on the 2012 than the older models. Power steering is a nice option. I didn't think I'd like it but it grows on you. Got to do a write up on it. Here are my thought on it: Kawasaki Rolls out the Red Carpet | ATV Connection

Thanks for the replies, yea I test rode one and it felt much more comfy. It hasn't been long since I traded my 06 650i in on the 09 FI 750. The FI was the best upgrade there as it rides slightly better and is only slightly faster than the 650. The wife gave me the blessin to go ahead if I want lol. He couldn't sell the scout green and said he'd go 8500 From the 9999 cause if the color. Figure if he'd give me atleast 5k-5.5k on trade i might do it. Thanks again
