Don,

As John was saying, I have a '08 Brute Force 750, NRA outdoors & it is awesome. Mom has a Honda, Dad has a Polaris, & my soon to be ex father in law has a kawasaki, & I had rode all three of them & I, personally, liked the Kawasaki the best. Mom & Dad used to have a Kawasaki & he traded it for the polaris, & now wishes he hadn't. If there is some time & some where I caould meet you, I will bring mine down so you can test drive it. I have had it up to 70 before. A buddy of mine has a 450R that he has had some work done to, & until he hits 5th gear, I can take him.
All in all if I was to trade mine or sell it, I would just have to go & get the '09 Brute force. It is one awesome bike & comfortable to ride on the trails.
Only downfall I have with it is, if you are riding at a slow speed on a hot summer day, it will feal like your left leg is cooking from the heat coming off of the exhaust. Make sure you wear jeans.

I hope this helps, at least some.

Jason
