Sounds and looks good. I like those stock tires and rims.... 716 pounds though?? I would like to try it out and feel this Spike Load Dampener they talk about... Also sounds like engine breaking is real aggressive, it must be the torque this monster has...    |

I think anyone who says they don't want to try it out is a little crazy. Who wouldn't want to try out the fasted accelerating quad (sport or utility) on the market. Thanks Vince! I need to wipe the drool away now... Sorry I had to. Hey my dealer says he is getting 4 and only 2 are sold already. 1 of the other 2 could be yours. Vince |

Now it just depends on how fast I can get the TBX sold. I'll be taking pix and posting the ads on the net tomorrow, now that I'm back from Maine. I'm still up in the air... Top contenders are the Brute, Can-Am and the new Cat. Whatever it's going to be will be fast, that's my primary goal.  |

I'm almost surprised, I thought you might say Brute. Has something with the V turned you off to Kaw? Or do you just like the others that much more? Just curious. |

Just curious.
I like the Kawi too.... in fact I love Kawasaki... Just for the most bang for the buck the Can-Am or the Cat get it done... Problem is the Thunder Cat may be hard to get... I have a e-mail into my Cat connection to get the real deal.... A wise man once told me...... Theres no replacement for displacement !!!!That and the 12 pack of beer I have drank this afternoon may have something to do with it... I had to drink the 12 pack to finish up working on this Polaris..... ha ha ha.... just kidding.... |

I was told by d&d that the cat would eat the Can-Am up on top top end by 3 or 4 mph, and it will out pull it stock. I said to make it even let me add equill weight to the cam-am, then he went right to the spike slip it has so not to over load the cvc.Cat rated for 1000# pull the Can-am 1300#pull stock.

The tow rating has nothing to do with power. |

The last thing that I will ever do when I consider purchasing a new anything is listen to a dealers opinion. They're good for selling and supporting the machines and that's it. The magazines, websites and riders tell the real story. That is when you can decipher what it is they are trying to say...  |

I test rode a new Brute Force 750 FI last week. The dealer was pretty good and let me put it through a few paces out in the back. I was very impressed. I have ridden my buddy's '05 BF750 extensively and the difference is night and day. The new BF is much quicker. In fact, the dealer sells Can Am as well and told me that they have dragged the new BF against an Outty 800 and in 300' the BF is quicker. He did say that he thought the Outty would take it on top end though. As for handling, it is much improved over the old BF. I would have to say that it is on par with Gearslayer's Grizz 700, which handles great. All that said, I have already stopped at the local AC dealer and have a test ride lined up when the new Thundercat arrives.  |
