Brute Force 650i Review: Awesome Motor... Can this older ATV Compete in 2016?

everythingatvutvreviews.com/re...
In this test review we push the 2006 Brute Force 650i and demonstrate it's trail capabilities. Don't be fooled, the "i" in 650i means it's equipped with independent rear suspension and none of the 650 BF's are fuel injected. Step up to a 750 Brute Force if fuel injection is important to you. Don't underestimate this carburetor V-Twin power house quad! Check out more info at www.everythingatvutvreviews.com

Just got a '12 brute 650. After having 2 brute 750's, one w/ FI - this 650 just feels quicker on the trails. Not sure what the weight difference is between 100cc's in the engine (compared to the 750) , but the 650 is decidedly snappier and pulls harder throughout the power band. I still love my 750's, dont get me wrong ; but dont underestimate the 650 v-twin. Also I must note, both my 750's are independent rears, but this 650 is solid rear axle ; and I gotta say, what little it gives up in the comfiness factor - it really makes up for as far as feel on the trail. It feels so much more planted. Dont overlook the solid rear axle when shopping for a 650 brute.

Dude i keep coming back to this video cause i just like seeing people rippin ATVs and your the only one that does that with good video production, you should do this more often and more high powered machine reviews

[@timothyhenderson9209]

just bought an 08 and I love it. it came with a Dynasty CDI box and HMF exhaust. Big power!

[@everythingatv-utv-reviews3565]

Thanks for the comment and enjoy your monster!

[@CraigArndt]

They are great quads, excellent video. You demonstrated that rear suspension really well, you can tell it is a firm setup, doesn’t articulate like the Polaris.

[@everythingatv-utv-reviews3565]

Thanks for the comment.

[@gdwtr]

Great reviews!!

[@everythingatv-utv-reviews3565]

Thanks for your comment!

I am considering possibly upgrading my 2007 Honda rancher 420 es because it does not ride comfortably on the trail. The ES system is also frustrating me. I know these are very different models but I am going off what is in my budget. I was looking at a brute force 650i/750i, first generation can am outlander 650/800, and a Suzuki king quad 400 foot shift. Yamaha are good too but they seem to all cost over 4K. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

[@RTOutdoors]

I love the Brute Force. Bought a 750 in 2004 when they hit the market. Not hard to find an adrenaline rush but they can be puckering in the off camber stuff.

[@everythingatv-utv-reviews3565]

RT, thanks for your comment. I've not had the opportunity to ride a 750 yet, bet it's a beast.

[@jasonleatherwood2172]

I got. 2006 brute force 650 I’m the original owner it has 1200 miles but 400 hours we use it to spray roundup hit the trails ride the kids on it raising hell so to speak all I’ve done is 2 belt replacement but when the light said it needed a belt it looked brand new and 2 batteries no othet issues besides oil changed and one spark plug replacement

[@konnerthrower6233]

Will the handle bars be hard to move for a 13 year old?

[@tony8512]

I go down very steep hills does BF hold with engine braking. Great review by the way.

[@everythingatv-utv-reviews3565]

[@ehTV1000]

I hear tell they have the best throttle response out there, What's your opinion?

[@everythingatv-utv-reviews3565]

After they get up to operating temperature they are very quick revving and pull hard until you let off the throttle. Certainly on top of the throttle response list for carbed ATV's and pull harder than any fuel injected big single cylinders I've rode.

[@ehTV1000]

Nice

[@rossinicola3627]

hi, nice video, I have a brute force 650 too, can you tell me where to find the chassis number?

[@everythingatv-utv-reviews3565]

Brute Force VIN Number. It will be located on the frame between where the front a arm attach.

[@GusgusA1]

I have a 2007 and could never wheelie before. It's easy on my 650i

[@everythingatv-utv-reviews3565]

Yes, the 650i is a really fun ATV to ride. The power is just awesome!

[@My17A]

Love the Brutes. Had this exact same bike and then had a 2012 750. Only thing I wish worked better was the 4Wd system. On both mine, they began getting twitchy at about 3000 km's. By twitchy I mean, they would have a hard time going into and out of 4Wd. I wish they would find a better way to locate all the wires under the seat. After a ride they are covered in water and mud. Things short out and corode in those conditions after a while.

[@everythingatv-utv-reviews3565]

Thanks for the comment. Couldn't agree more with the slow 4x4 in and out actuation, but awesome power these quads have!

[@erikdale9145]

They make an aftermarket manual 4wd engage btw.

[@TraveladvRajanSRai]

It saves itself frm destroying case

[@TraveladvRajanSRai]

Best 4x4 n belt saves itself frm blowing

[@rzl07375]

Whats faster the 650 or the 800 Polaris ?

[@everythingatv-utv-reviews3565]

The 650i pulls harder and gets up to speed faster than the Sportsman. At that, the Sportsman comfort level is much better than the BF and this only based on my opinion after riding both.

[@leeallenbeal]

My dad bought me 2025 Honda Rancher early Christmas present it will out run Polaris any day glad I will never go back to Sportsman

[@TheKelmo2828]

like the way u ride a lil bit speed and technical!
