My new Kawasaki Brute Force 750i (Fuel Injected)

| No Comments
After much deliberation, I finally decided to go out and purchase a new Brute Force 750i (Fuel Injected).

Went riding today on the 2005 in the Five Mile Pass area (probably did more hiking than riding), then packed up and drove North to Full Throttle in Centerville to pay for and load up the new machine.

Since there was really no difference (except color options and Ignition module) between the 2008 and 2009 Kawasaki Brute Force 750, I bought the 2008 (.1 miles on the odometer), had an AT25 WARN winch installed and heated grips/throttle.

After getting the new machine home, I started to take all my add-ons off the 2005 (TigerTail, rear rack back, tires, GPSr mount, SPOT mount, etc) -- when I noticed the front & rear racks on the 2008 were not quite the same as the 2005.

In fact, the entire front bumper and racks are different. Quite honestly, I prefer the 2005 setup. The front bumper is far more beefy and has more steel (as opposed to plastic).

A few comparison photos:

Interestingly, after taking all the add-on's off the 2005, I felt no noticeable power loss on the 2008, and saw a power-gain on the 2005.

The 2008 has a more noticable TURBINE like sound and more electronic noise upon turning the key than the 2005.

The 2008 (due to Fuel Injection) definately has more top-end in comparison to the 2005.

Should be interesting to get my son on the 2005 and see how they handle.
