we just checked out the brute force 750. the reason we didnt buy it was because when if you need to back up in 4 wheel drive, you have to let it roll forward 4+ feet to get 4 wheel drive engaged. you can get a dvd from the different shops that tell about them. we bought the polaris sportsman 800 instead. we have a 700 sportsman and a yamaha 350 bruin. they're both great, but so far have had no trouble out of the yamaha, but have the 700. still wouldnt trade it, though. we know 2 people who have the brute force 650 and love it. i do know the sportsmans can take alot. and have independent suspension. hope this helps a little.
