Default getting new quad

Bruin 350,

If the Vinson 500 makes your short list then do look at the new BF650 because Kawi priced this bike in the 500 class. $ for $ I don't think the Vinson can beat the BF 650. Kawi used the same frame as the P700 just a smaller motor. The same twin as the AC 650 but more importantly Kawi used the P700 clutch.

I like the Vinson but side by side I think the edge goes to the 650.

Good luck and I am sure your daughter is happy that she gets the Bruin.

Where are you getting your information? Where I live the BF is over a grand more than the Vinson. The BF is a good machine if you like IRS but if not get the Suzuki. I got my Vinson for $6,000.

Where are you guys getting the BF650? I thought/know the BF is a 750. Are we talking Prairies? If so, go 650/700, or go Vinson-you're good either way!

Kawasaki now makes two Brute Force models, the 750 with IRS and a 650 with a solid rear axle.

My bad. They are actually calling the Prairie a Brute Force? Damn, guess I need to reel things back in. Too many irons in the fire-so to speak! So, are they calling the Twin Peaks-KQ Jr.? J/k! We've had a lot of sh-t going on.............

Why didn't you say that you were a dirt bike guy. If this is the case I believe the Suzuki Vinson 500 is the quad for you. It's the best ATV in it's class hands down. It has won every shootout thrown at it and it's so good that they even compair it to the larger 700cc machines. As for power it has more than you will ever need; trust me I got one and ride in the roughest stuff without any problem. It will run with any 700cc machine and will beat many of them. Now since you're a sport bike ride like I was you will like this...it's a very sporty machine. You can slide this machine around corners nearly as good as the sport quads.

IMO this is the quad for you.
My buddy has an '04 Vinson that he hasn't had any problems with and says it is a nice machine...but he also says he should have went ahead and got the King![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

He is about to go trade it in on a King sometime in the near future.
