You should look at the Grizzly,that has to be one of the most popular choices.I have a couple buddies with them and a brother,they are great all around machines.That comming fron an Arctic Cat Guy!The new power steering is cool too!

I was talking to a guy about his grizzly at the vinca bridge area, I turned the bars when it was running, its quite neat. He said when you hit things the bars dont turn themselves. It was much easier to drive than atv's without power steering.

Just got back from Cat and I think I will be buying the EFI 700 LE. Have looked at all ATV and it came down to the Grizz, the cat and the Kingquad. Nice ride on the cat, I know they are a bit heavy but for old guy like me need a good ride. Will have ride with buddies that will pull me through if need be. Can't have my cat untill May but will still be sledn until then;) :D Barry

My dad bought a 650 Arctic Cat last fall and he loves it.He rides it alot and has had no problems with it,he bought the longer one with the factory seat for a p***enger.Says it rides like a cadilac and is a lot harder to lift the front end when climbing!

well i i made up my mind and got the brute force. i rode arctic cat, grizz-700, &700 king this week. here is my opinion after trying all four within two days. arctic cat 700-reasonable price,heavy, tippy, feels like a tractor suzuki- awsome machine ,but it is under powered compared to bf 750 &,it rode and felt about the same. grizz 700 felt heavy, steering was nice but hardly noticable,. i desided on brute force-750 because price was best of them all,ride was as good or better than most , power was smooth and lots of it, feels lite and easy to ride. i had cat last year and this bf is way more fun &and still abil to work.i have rode it for 200 kms now and love it . also think about bf 650 power is about same as 750 but it is less money
