I'm a quad owner again!! I don't really have any valuable information to contribute, at least not until I get a couple good rides in but first impressions are good.

For sure the KQ doesn't have the arm pulling acceleration that the BF has but it's no slouch either. Overall I think it's a good balance, the BF is fun to test drive but I think/hope the Suzuki will be the better machine to own.

Not trying to bash on the BF owners, these are just the two machines that I decided between. I came real close to buying a BF it was the slow speed stutter (present on both machines I test drove); the owner complaints about glowing red headers, broken rear drive shafts, broken tie rod ends, optional inner fenders, optional storage box, that kept me from getting it. Before you say it, I know the Suzuki hasn't been out long enough for it's problems to surface, it will probably have an glitch or two and I'm taking a chance.


Has anyone put their winch on yet??? Any pointers would be appreciated, thanks.

 

Although, like you said, it will probably have a few bugs to work out, I wouldn't be suprised if they were very minor or there were none at all. Suzuki is doing an AWESOME job with their quads these days and they've put so much R&D into the King that I don't know if it will have any gleaming 1st-year faults.
