I purchased my 2006 Suzuki King Quad 700 about a month ago. This beast is nasty!
PROS:
It has more power than you will ever need on a sport utility quad and is very quick. Accelerates like a sport quad and tops out at nearly 75 mph. This thing will stand up on the rear tires like nothing. It's a very comfortable ride with the independent suspension. In addition, it is very light for its size and designed for a low center of gravity, thus handles very well and is very nimble. I crossed a river with the water almost to my handlebars with no problems. My other quad (Kodiak) sucks water into the belt drive in water half as deep. The King Quad has a belt housing plug that can be removed by hand if you do ever get water in the drive system.
CONS:
It comes stock with below average tires. They do not have very good traction. I have replaced the stock Dunlops with ITP Mud Lites at the stock size (good combination of mud traction and trail handling). The plastic fender and foot wells come apart too easily. They come stock with plastic push plugs. The easiest solution is to replace them with some rubber grommets and 1/4" X 1" nuts, washer and bolts to solve the problem.
OVERALL:
Go out and buy one! The Brute Force is the only quad out there that will keep up with it (until it comes to the twisty trails where it cannot handle as well). I purchased mine with a 2.5 warn winch, taxes and fees for a great price. Try to get a good deal on a Polaris!
Upgrades/Accessories: 2.5 warn winch
25x8x10 & 25x10x12 ITP Mud Lite tires.
Kimpex front and rear bumpers - very well worth it. I have already been hit by my buddy Evan in the front and rear and having the bumpers has saved me a ton of money in possible damages. Sorry, Evan!
