Any New Features for Brute Forces?

[byronkentgraham]

So this winter I'm planning on selling my 06 Brute and buying a newer used one or a brand new one. So my question is has kawasaki released any new features over the past couple years? The last two features I remember are changing it to an EFI and lowering the seat height. Are there any differences
Between the 2008-2009-2010-2011?

Sorry but Color and seat foam are all that I know of.

Power steering for 2011

 

[500 King]

Power steering for 2011

Yep, and that's a nice feature. They say that the 2012 is "all new"? Not sure what they mean by that?

Here's all it said in the article:

"In a “sneak peek at what’s coming to help improve our ATV market share,” Kawasaki showed pictures of the all-new 2012 Brute Force 750 4x4i with Power Steering, which will be available for ordering in February with delivery to dealerships in March."

Same hp as befor 49.8hp, seems like i got a bigger rad(finally), new looks, power steering and some frame changes, I like kawi it would be my second choice for a quad just wish they would step the hp a bit i know they are capable of it. Oh and a e-locker of some sort not the gay leaver, that would help to.

Kawi is stating they upped the power by a new head design. Can't see them making much more.

Also they have larger diameter rad hoses and larger rad.

Ah yes sorry my bad reread the pamplet higher compresion ratio 8.8-1 to 9.3-1 and new camshafts may be good for a few more ponies.

My biggest beef with my 07 650 BF was the front end and handling, looks like they may have solved those issues.
I never had any problems with the diff lock lever, it looks gay but always worked well.
I found the bike easy to work on as well, you didn't have to take half the bike apart to replace say the belt.
We'll have to see how the Canadian pricing looks.

They added a storage unit in the front rack and switched from a strut style front suspension to a double a arm

 

[Mikehunt]

The indepent brutes have always had double A arm front suspension

Looks like the canadian prices are $11699 and $12099.

If I had a mouthful of fluids, I'd spit it out as hard as I can at the nearest person I could find just to be as dramatic as that price increase. Seriously! Thats some expensive poop right there, and just for a 750! I'll stick with my 70HP 850 for that price!

I agree, the price does seem high but it is still cheaper than your xp ($12199 for the 850xp eps) and it weighs almost 100lb less.
It would be a tough call for me, I like the power # on your xp but I really liked my old BF.

I got my XP for 11,235 with a 3500lb winch. But prices are always negotiable with every dealer. Yeah 100lb less would be a dream come true on the XP, but when riding its hard to tell that there really is 100lb difference, it rides light, very flickable, even when barreling through snow whoops at the alberta beach quad rally.

BTW, 2010 XP's are now 9800.
