i have seen the 08 king 750 in person. it looks good, but how does it perform? how much can it tow. that's something i never understood about Suzuki, they never include the compacities in their specs. i was looking to buy one soon and i just wanted to see what other people think about the King 450 and 750. i don't know which one i am going to get yet.

 

I'm not sure about the towing spec's on it but I got my 450 about 8 months ago and I love it! It has plenty of power and rides very well and I plan on buying another when funds permit. I only have about 140 miles on it but no problems yet. I have had compliments from everyone who has ridden it, remarking how well it rides.

 

I just bought a brand new 08 KingQuad 450 4x4 last weekand and so far I seem to like mine allot.
It rides really good and has lots of power and torque for what I need it for.
Things like the EFI, RIS, and diff lock is are nice feature to have too on this bike.

I only have about 50 km on mine so far so time will tell how well it will be in the long run.

Just got mine insured and registered the other day so I haven't taken it on any trail riding trips yet but once the weather gets a little warmer one weekand I plan to put the machine through its paces near the Rocky Mountains.

I don't know how much they can tow but if you plan to use it for work and towing then I would look more at a Honda. They are designed more as a work bike. The KingQuad is much more sporty.

There is a couple pics of my new bike in my profile.

 

i saw my first 08 in person today. looks the same as the 700. talking to the sales man he said the only diff. was the engin. to answer the question about the towing i cant say for sure, but i have an 05 kq 700 and i have pulled things an atv were not ment to pull. ( mostly due to alcohol consumption [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] ) i have pulled big trees out of brush, fishing boats, small campers and some other things i cant remember. ( mostly due to alcohol consumption [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] ) i think if you are lookin to do some light to medium weight towing around the house, based on how my 700 performs, you will be happy. i noticed when pulling with an atv the biggest problem is not going it is stoping.

I have an 07 700 (mine) and an 08 450 (my sons). Both ride and handle the same.
The 700 has more power than the 450 and its a noticable difference. IMO, depending on your use would determine which is better. For someone who isn't going to use the extra 12 HP, the 450 is fine but if you plan to work it and can handle it, the extra $1,000 may be worth it.
I can't compare the 08 750 but can't imaging it'd be that much different (more power) from the 700.
We're happy with our purchase. Although they are still pretty new with 150 miles on each. They've both run well in snow and trails. Good luck in your decision.
