Of course, the 750 is staying a 750.
It is interesting to see that the 650's are staying with Carb's for '11.
Just 3 weeks ago I spoke with a FR at a Arizona Dealership, he made the impression that the 650 was history for 11 or 12 and that was the main reason the 650's are not FI as a new cc model was going to take the spot in the 500-650 class.
He also was talking Big on the New Monster Energy Brute 900, 898cc, new tranny, new 4x4 system like none offered before, Fox shocks,PS, winch, full alum skids and the list went on. A 2-seater too and loaded. Monster Energy Colors is what he was saying was the only colors for the 1st run, maybe that is why the Team Green is not available on the '10BF750's.

While I doubt the pop something new out yet, I do believe that you won't know anything for another few months. The manufactures will late a little while longer before they begin to get CARB certified and ultimately let the cat out of the bag.

Can-am raised hell with CARB when they printed the results on the 10's before Can-am released the info.
You would think that Kawasaki would release early info just to keep others from jumping ship and buying a different make, as so many are wanting a larger Brute.
For me, I'll pass on the upcoming M.E, Brute, I'm concerned with the additional weight. I really like the weight on my Brute and the way it handles as I have it set up.
A Outlander 800 that I owned for a short period proved to me that the extra power of the 800 was not noticeable Vs the BF750 on the trails I ride here. Mainly comes down to gearing, the Brute 750 is in the low/midrange powerband where the 800 was mid/high range powerband, I guess the reason why the 800 gets better mpg. Can-am isn't honest either in their weight claims, as the MSO stated 692 lbs, not the 642 claimed, this was a non XT model too.
It shouldl be a good year in 2011 for new 4wheelers, as Kawasaki isn't the only one with a New flagship, Suzuki has a new VTwin coming too.

Looks more like they got curb weight confused. But you are right the Brute has a lot more low end torque than the Gades and Outy I have ridden. Where the sacrifice is is when you get to mid range, the Outy and Gade can walk away and the Brute flattens a bit; as it should with 50 less CC's.
I think you'll see Kawie start integrating EPS. A got the inside scoop last year from a Kawie guy stating they wouldn't make a machine any bigger or with EPS because it goes beyand theircorporate strategy of providing a powerful machine with a price tag lower than everything else in it's class. That was last year, now this year everyone but Kawie has power stearing available on their flagship vehicles. They will need to do something.

Now I was told that there is a 900 coming from a Factory Rep but only so many will be made, as a limited edition, and the price is up there with the rest of the big boys, over $11 grand for the single seater, $12 grand + for the 2-seater but according to the FR, the price is with everything on it, as nothing was left off. Of course no one ever cares for the stock tires at least so far on a Stock Kawie. The FR did say that the 900 may be postpone due to the current ATV market sales. Look at Can-am, they have cut their production down by 40% for model year '10.
Weight is my biggest concern and where I ride mid to upper powerband power is useless. I can zip along on the graded Forest Roads easy all day at 50+ with power in reserve on the 750.
The additional weight on the 800 was a hinder for me, really took the fun out of it on my Rides but I took care of that problem.
Look at the price of the 2010 750s, there are getting up there with the MSRP of $8799 and with no PS. The PS should be added for '11 on the 750 because the weight limit agreement comes to a close. PS for me isn't that big of a deal so I am not buying another Brute just for that.
Thankfully most dealers sell below list, I was able to buy this 09 Team Green 750 for $6900 OTD. Since then (bought in Nov 09) I have seen lower prices but the Team Greens are hard to find, so I went ahead and bought this one when I found it. btw, I found it listed on www. atvtraderonline.com
