Got to ride again this weekend got the opportunity to ride a stock 750 brute. Nice machine in the quick horse power department its an arm straightener for sure. I didn't like the brutes steering but I did notice it will out pull my 850 or stay even till 55 mph then the xp slowly pulls away. I very seldom drag race but this kid had to know if his machine could keep up but when he road mine he loved the suspension and power steering. His buddy has a 700 grizz so I will do same test later!

 

Similar to the reaction I got from a Outlander 800 owner when we swapped rides. He said he really misses the plush ride of the Polaris's.

 

the brute is a nice bike, but don't compare to the ride of the polaris for sure. my 800 will pretty much stay w/ the bf 750 so i would have guessed the 850 would walk away form it? the bf is quicker for sure because of it's gearing and they do a real good job. imo

 

Here is interesting material ATV Nation > 09 Sportsman 850EFI EPS my thoughts...

 

Good XP article Gas. I gotta get some new rubber.
