Default Had my heart set but now Im not sure

My decision had been made that I was going to get a Brute Force 750 but after I have seen my buddies KQ700 in action I started to question my decision. I have been looking at the KQ750 on the internet and I think the KQ looks better than the BF. Did suzuki get the caster problem on the KQ's fixed? Wat are some of the other draw backs of both the quads for those of you who have ridden both?

In a drag race how many lengths will the Brute Force beat the KQ750. Dont tell any lies now cause everybody knows the Brute is faster but I want to know how close it is.

The reason I went with the King was it seems to sit alot lower than the Brute which makes me feel more comfortable (I'm only 5' 3"). The caster issue IS NOT fixed on the 750 or 700. There is a mod you can do to fix that problem. With the VDI you will stay and perhaps take the Brute but it is an extra cost to think of.
If you don't mind doing the mods, I'd do the King but the Brute is probably the better off the showroom floor.

The KQ is more comfortable the Brute is firmer and faster. There is nothing that compares to a V Twin!

How much does the caster mod cost? That will be my first priority. Why wont suzuki fix it?

If you do the caster mod itself, it's just a few dollars and some time. I'm not so comfortable with that so I'm thinking about buying some WCRP a-arms and changing out. They are $400.
