Default should I buy Brute or King, need help

I am leaning towards 650 BF or 700 KG. Both are impressive bikes. 650 is a bit cheaper but is cheaper better? 650 has straight axel which is a plus for towing but has a v twin and 2 carbs, which I am not too sure about. I recently sold my Vinson and now ready to get a bigger bike. I would like any info. t
ps- please no brand bashers.

Both are nice machines but very different. Guess it boils down to what you want to do with it. Solid, vs IRS, Twin vs Single, Carb vs EFI, Kawi Belt Drive vs Suzuki Belt Drive, each has it's advantages so you'll have to weigh each one out as to how it fits your needs. The Brute should be more like your Vinson but not sure if that is what you are looking for.

I would not be afraid of buying a King Quad, with respect to the reverse issue, as long as you buy one with the higher Vin mentioned in all of the threads.

Thanks for the advise. I am looking for more of a working machine than a racer, but I still like the pep. Think it will boil down to what the salesmen do for me.

If you are considering a solid rear axle, is there some reason you have left out the Prarie 700? Just curious. Don't think there is all that much difference between it and the 650 Brute other than the 50cc.

Polaris is a good looking machine. But up here in Newfoundland we drive our ATVs hard and to me the Polaris just does not cut it. It has pleanty of power but they are more expensive and require much maintenance. Think I will go with the BF. ty

I have had both of them. You can't beet the power and the sound of the twin. Also I don't think the efi is an issue. Once you get the kawi jetted wright it's every bit as good as efi. Just my 2 cents.

Don't think twice...get the King. It didn't get ATV of the year from 5 publications for nothing!
