2012 Kawasaki Brute Force 750 4x4 with Power Steering Test

A huge number of subtle and not so subtle changes such as power steering, pumped up engine, revised suspension, updated styling plus much more, breath new life into Kawasaki's proven Brute Force 750!

[@dirttraxtv]

This just popped up on my feed! Man, we've been at this a long time, Joe!!! 😃

[@ATVonDemand]

I know Mike. GREAT TIMES! Just watched your review of the 2024. Fair and on point as usual.

[@jkauffman990]

i bought a brand new 2012 brute force 750 in black. and i will say yeah i paid $9,000 out the door but ive got 1,300 miles on it and i freaking love that thing. its got CRAZY power. i love it because my friends have different kinds of big bore quads and mine blows them away at everything.

[@DaughertyKaine]

I bought one in late August. The absolute best utility ATV I have ever been on! Massive power, very nimble, and that amazing Brute Force sound. If you are looking for a big sized utility ATV that can go to work and have a blast on this is your machine.

[@chadabbott7098]

I actually watched this in 2021 and decided to buy a new one because of it...Still a great machine just needs the elkas. Anyway great job love your videos (even if you have been doing it a long time)

[@ATVonDemand]

@@chadabbott7098 Hopefully the fact that we have been doing this.A long time is a good thing. We have had the opportunity to ride more machines than most. We're with you.Suspension would be our first upgrade.

[@TheDuhan13]

cool vid, nice to see how power steering is comming along!

[@josh5528]

I have a 2012 BF650 SRA and it kept up with my buddies 2014 Sportsman 800. I've gotten it up to 75mph. Its got tq from the get go and high rpms. The v-twin is just a monster and it sounds good. I know a lot complain about the front diff lock, I've used it quite a bit and I have found no difficulties with it.

[@dankruger2890]

just got a new 16' brute force and its so fun. Best throttle response ever. I am so happy with my purchase. seriously, if you like to ride hard once and awhile you need to get a brute force

[@ATVonDemand]

Dan Krueger glad you like your new machine. Thanks for sharing.

[@LordAtrocities]

Very good video. Thank you!

[@bruteforce122481]

I love my 08 brute after the upgrades

[@slayerarrow]

Brute force is a good Atv no doubt. I went with a Can Am 1000xt because it was only 100$ more. Both great machines

[@bruteforce122481]

The brute is badass

[@ATVonDemand]

Unfortunately, our government, and features like power steering, and fuel injection, add to a vehicles retail price. Kawasaki has the powerful Brute Force 650i and solid axle Brute Force 650 for considerably less. For those with the cash though, the new 750 is pretty sweet.

[@nicolec7290]

looks good ...

[@Appaluchion]

I would personally go for the brute: Best power of the 3 by a large amount, good handling, smooth ride, great utility features such as beefy racks, compartment space etc. I would definately put better tires on it though. Maxxis Bighorns are the best all purpose tire.

[@JohnnyRebKy]

I've always been a honda guy from years ago but if i buy another atvs it will be a kawasaki. Honda has gotten so far behind and they are dogs. My honda 400ex was the best quad I've ever owned in my life. but until honda quits producing granny friendly ATVs i will have to go Kawasaki

[@lucasechenique39]

I'm a Kawasaki guy, I love my Brute Force 650, but Honda is one of the few manufacturers that isn't making granny-friendly ATVs nowadays. While every other manufacturer is switching to making big ATVs with IRS, power steering and automatic CVT, Honda is still out there making ATVs with a Solid Rear Axle and a 5-speed transmission.

[@2LateIWon]

@ATVonDemand I road my friend 2010(or 09) Brute Force 750 and loved it. It's just all quads are expensive. And over 10K for a bike that's just crazy. But what are you going to do....You have to spend that much if you need/want one.

[@motorcrossboy177]

i subscribed to you good vid i like

[@bballplaya123678]

@hiimdrummer03 More of a riders quad? with less ground clearance and WAAY less suspension travel even the standard renegade gets fox shocks just not podium x's that are on the xxc and good luck holding the dif lock lever when the renegade locks in in half a turn and even when you pull the lever it doesnt lock in instantly sometimes

[@trailblazeratv6306]

Has it been updated since then ?

[@Searchin4tone]

Absolutely not lol

[@bballplaya123678]

According to the can am website the 800r xt is 669lb and also the renegade800xxc is definately lighter. I just can not see paying $10,000 for this brute force when for $949 more you can get a 2011 can am outlander 800r xt with 72hp, a 3000lb winch, brush quards, visco lok qe, dps power steering, and more ground clearance.

[@bballplaya123678]

@Cananimal12 True that man.

[@lefew2]

I bought a new 2012 BF 750i in December, had a new 2006 650i before and sold it after having both for about a month. The frame on the 2012 is cheap The front bumper is useless, it does not protect the lights or the any of the top plastic. I do not not have power steering and does not need it. Except for nothing available as far as bumpers front or rear from Kawasaki or aftermarket for the 2012 It is the best deal and excitement out there. Check for accessories before you buy on. Oh, I love it

[@cdawg4391]

what does the government add? I know there's a sales tax but I'm wondering what other costs are (any emissions? useless "safety" features"?)

[@bballplaya123678]

@hiimdrummer03 Man if the brute 750 keeps you smiling then try riding a renegade 1000 with 30 more hp... also i have not had that atv for more than a year at my house in anglier quebec all i ride is renegade 800r's and this fall i road the outlander 1000 xt

[@95machinehead]

do these brute force 750s guzzle a lot of gas ?

[@relaxingnature2617]

The brute consumes about 1 liter fuel per 5 to 8 km of riding

[@bballplaya123678]

@hiimdrummer03 more wow factor are you kidding me? it does not have beadlock rims or yellow and black graphics or radial tires standard or 3 way adjustable power steering or fox podium x shocks. Also when i dont type that in i would realize that i have already seen it and that the visco lok qe climbs everything just as well and does better in mud no doubt because it has no speed limiter and you dont have to have 3 4wd modes

[@hiimdrummer03]

@bballplaya123678 I have and it doesnt.As mentioned by the reviewer CanAm uses dryweight not wet weight or curb.More power, too heavy and not agile.That post about the 350 Grizzly was 7 months ago,lol

[@nicolec7290]

looks like it doesn't look like it has much rear travel

[@hellomate639]

It's earth day. I'm a cyclist, and on earth day, I decide to look at something like ATVs that pollute the environment a bit more than my breathing on the bike does. That said, can't wait to own one someday!

[@hiimdrummer03]

@bballplaya123678 Can am is more refined.Brute Force will handle better and get through the woods as its more of a riders quad.

[@bruteforce122481]

Yall need to make 2012 brute go thorw water .

[@wyatthonda1336]

You are the idiot, it's through.

[@thomatyessir9123]

Wyatt honda lmaooo

[@ATVonDemand]

Can-Am lists dry weight, not curb.

[@zorin40]

Imagine the rot we have to face in Australia.Even though the AUD was better than USD by a margin they are still charging huge costs. A 750i with EPS I just paid $13500 which is today's exchange is $14000 USD+ There is nothing less than $10880 unless you buy a 360 Kawasaki by haggling for about $10000.

[@MOTACJ]

I need a few luxury properties to sell... If that happens, I buy two! Please god, let it happen by 2012... I got some ATV trails in mind!

[@2LateIWon]

Man the's ATV are getting more and more expensive. That's a nice used car or truck

[@hiimdrummer03]

@bballplaya123678 Brute has way more wow factor.Has the low end jump better than any quad out there.May not have the most but has the best raw power. Suspension travel and ground clearance is overated.I can take a Brute anywhere and more than a Canned Ham!

[@hiimdrummer03]

@bballplaya123678 Leave the Big Bores to the Big Boys and stay on something you know like your Grizzly 350. Also keep reading your magazines and stay on the Can Am Hype.Im not saying wow factor when it comes to ready things they have.Im talking after you ride both macvhines and the brute keeps you smiling/

[@hiimdrummer03]

@bballplaya123678 ATVs dont need beadlocks.Especially with these being Cast Alloy. These are not black and yellow cause thats Can Am colors.The stock tires are bost bum.Visco doesnt climb it as wheel are you kidding me. If you have a awsome designed EPS why the hell would you need 3 settings. Can Am when it comes to reliability blows. Brute doesnt always have speed limiter.When you try to hang a corner and that front locks up in a turn you will wish you had 3 4WD modes.

[@dmay950]

Awwe Iam sorry @brutalmodzz is the brute force fan but hurt because Honda is better????

[@Bassboy1972]

My friends Canned Ham got stuck in a 6 inch water puddle. Then his brakes went out. Then his motor blew. Then his lights went out. Buy a Brute Force instead!

[@CammerHammer1]

Anyone else think the front end is uglier than the 05-10

[@hiimdrummer03]

@bballplaya123678 why would you ask advice about something you dont have anymore? especially about tires for the atv your saying you ride,.exactly! you 350 cost more than bikes i sold for 7k 2 years ago. the 350 is not that much new,bahaha. not too mention the green one was a kawi zx-10 race bike that went 202 in a standing mile. learn what your talking about

[@gregrowe1168]

epic fail on the bus driver

[@JustJoshinY]

the 650s are pretty thirsty machines so i imagine the 750 is worse

[@gregrowe1168]

Get a used one, 10 grand is too much to spend on any quad unless you're a millionaire.

[@garcia01234]

ugly , but powerfull

[@dmay950]

Buy a Honda brute force sucks nuts

[@TheBrutalModzz]

you suck idiot
