Default polaris 400 vs kingquad 400

besides for the sweet fuel injection option, why should i buy a kingquad instead of the polaris?

The King Quad doesn't have a shift lever that looks like it belongs on a tractor.

If the Suzuki 400 has a manually selectable front differential locker like the larger models I'd definitely prefer that over what Polaris has.

The 400 KQ is a renamed 400 Eiger with EFI. There is no diff lock until or IRS or full size frame until you move to a 450 and up KQ.

Here is why the the Polaris would be my choice. It has a larger full size frame, IRS,true AWD,not 3wd limited slip front end. Much more powerful 30hp 455 liquid cooled motor vs the 23hp KQ 376cc air cooled and the Polaris has rear disk brakes not drums and IRS suspension not a straight axle with a rougher ride and low ground clearance.

The 400 Spotsman is closer related to the larger 450 or 500 KQ then the smaller 400 King Quad.
