Did I mention there was about a 3ft hole I
had to lift the front end up between Kenny and
his two tripods at the top of this hill? Yea
I know what you are thinking so what? This felt
so foreign to me. It was like parallel parking
for the first time. You just got to go for it
and hope that you do not hit the expensive car
in front of you or behind you, which in my case
was Kenny, his camera, and his fancy lighting
equipment.

The
power of the Brute Force 750i is almost
immediate and it had no problem getting
up rugged lines. Its power made it great
for lifting the front end over obstable |
Here was my chance, “I was thinking to
myself; come on just go for it!” as I
looked up at Kenny from the bottom of the hill.
My thumb hit the throttle without hesitation.
The power of the Brute Force 750 4x4i is almost
immediate. The deep and powerful sound of the
exhaust was bellowing beneath me. Before I knew
it was eye level with Kenny on top of the hill
as I saw the flash of light as the flash bulbs
lit up.

Although
the power on the 650 models was apparent
it wasn’t as hard hitting as the
750 but they do offer the same 2-to-4wheel-drive
capability on the fly |
The Kawasaki Brute Force 750 4x4i had no problem
getting up the rugged line picked out by my
colleague as he snapped the first few pictures
of the day. The power that the Brute Force 750
4x4i harnesses is almost unforeseeable. You
wouldn’t think that a 650lbs machine could
lift the front end so easy. Its power made it
great for lifting the front end over obstacles
if you choose to do so.

The
Brute Force ATV's offer different riding
speeds and reverse with a simple change
of the gear lever |
If riding aggressive isn’t your style,
you can always switch to 4-wheel drive with
Kawasaki’s on the fly handlebar mount,
and crawl over the obstacle that lye it front
of you. Although the power on the 650 models
was apparent it wasn’t as hard hitting
as the 750 but they do offer the same 2-to-4wheel-drive
capability on the fly.
There are a number of ways that you can bring
the Brute Force 750 4x4i and Brute Force 650’s
to a halt. One of which I took advantage of
was Kawasaki’s patented Engine Brake Control
System. This system electronically measures
ground speed and uses the engines compression
to slow the ATV down in certain conditions.
