hello all, im looking to purchase a quad. Ive narrowed it down to either a 05 brute force 750 thats bone stock and will need tires before the winter. it has 700 miles on it. or an 04 grizzly 660 that has 1900 miles, new 27" itp tires with new ITP rims. also has a 2000 lb winch. Any thoughts or ideas... oo ya, they want 4450 for the brute force and 3900 for the grizzly. are they worth that price at all. both are in practically mint condition. show room quality for cleanliness too.

 

I just purchased a 2012 brute 650 and love it. I had a 2003 polaris sportsman 500 HO and it only had 1300 miles on it but it was just killing me with all of the little stuff! My advice is to buy the brute as they are simple and run like crazy. I am not badmouthing the Grizzly but just plugging Kawasaki!

 

Needs tires with only 700 miles? Thats like 7 tanks of gas, The tires should still have the ****/nibbles things on them let alone need to be changed.
I had 3200 miles on my rear stock tires before they needed to be replaced.

Sounds like some hanky panky odometer tricks are going on.

 

I looked at the tires again and they dont have to be replaced.. i just didnt realize how little the lugs were on factory tires compared to the ITPs i usually have..

 

Yes some manufactures are cheap with there stock tire choices. My friends new Grizzly and Foreman looked like they had bald tires when they were sitting on the showroom floor.

 

I have an '11 Brute 750 and love it, lots of power

 

I haven't ridden a Griz but put a little over 200 miles on a 2012 750i SE Brute Force last weekend - very very impressive machine - it moved right up on top of my favorites -
wish I could help more

 

in my neck of the woods, thats too much for an 05 brute. 3500 to 3800 would be reasonable i'd say. brutes have a lot more power than the grizzly, but i'd say the grizzly is more reliable. can't go wrong with either, take em both for a spin!
