Quality, warranty and customer-service issues are all good. You get twin carburetors instead of electronic fuel injection, and there’s no power-steering option, but the 650 is still a premium machine at a good price.ĬF Moto is an Asian company that has really set itself apart from the others that flooded the market in recent years. It sells for less that the 750, but has a very similar V-twin motor. The Brute Force 650 spawned the big Kawasaki 750 a number of years ago and remains in the line as a lower-priced alternative. The XT package adds a winch and power steering. The Outlander features a security system, which makes the quad very difficult to steal.

It has a 686cc, in-line, twin-cylinder motor with a Duramatic transmission that allows on-the-fly 4WD. Arctic Cat has a quad that can help you keep everything running on the same fuel.
