Used Buyer Review

The Brute Force 750 is genuinely one of the toughest ATVs ever bolted together, and buying one used is usually a safe bet — provided the previous owner wasn't a complete maniac. That fuel-injected V-twin pulls hard from idle and the CVT handles trail abuse better than most competitors. These things were built when Kawasaki still over-engineered everything, and it shows. That said, go in with your eyes open. Check the front differential — they're notorious for eating themselves if the owner ignored fluid changes. Same story with the CVT belt; a neglected one will strand you miles from nowhere. Inspect the frame around the rear suspension mounts for stress cracks, especially on anything that's seen serious rock crawling. Ask for maintenance records and if they laugh at you, walk away. Pricing-wise, a clean 2015 or newer with reasonable miles should run you $6,500-$9,000. Don't overpay for one with aftermarket lift kits and mud tires unless you actually need that setup — those machines usually worked harder.
