I haven't rode one yet but I do know that its a different 350 engine that the Wolvy-Warrior engine. They said it was the old Kodiak 400 frame. I got this info from one of the mags.

Don't know if it's faster than a rancher but I'm sure it rides better [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Hi iceman, I was at my dealer today and rode the 350 bruin 2x2. It steered easy and I was supprised the supension was nice and soft and comfortable. The rear end did slide a little,but I was riding on loose rock. For a 350 it had plenty of get up and go. I am seriously planing on getting one soon. I am trying to decide between a 2wd or 4wd. The type of riding that I do I can get by with the 2wd. The 4wd is $1000 more. What the hell, its only money.

I just bought a new 2004 Bruin 350 4x4 and really like it. Its plenty fast and rides great. I own a farm with big hills and it takes them on with no problem. Dont know how fast it goes but even with my 200 lb. plus butt I gave my sons honda quad 250 a good run. Its auto trans and I have a blast with it.

Hi iceman, Well I did buy a bruin 350 4x4 and I love it. Went riding in the Ozark Mts Monday, the wife and I were riding 2 up. Went up some steep hills and had plenty of power, I also like the way it handled and the supension suprised me. My wife even liked the supension so you know it had to be soft. Still breaking it in so I took it kind of easy. When I did give it some gas for a short spurt it went good. Sure like the auto tranny.

Hi iceman. I got the fast blue bruin. When I was looking the 2 atv's that I was interested in were the 350 rancher and bruin. They have enough power for the kind of riding I do. I think the new ranchers look awesome, they are really sharp. I traded in my motorcycle and got the best trade in value on the bruin, plus the auto tramission made me go with the bruin. I think both machines will suit our purpose. I hope that you and your wife will enjoy your atv as much as my wife and I will. Have a good ride.
