Allright super spy agent "X"-Get in there and snap some shots of the new KAWASAKI!

Sometimes new corporate websites go up at the time of the dealer show!

Anybody seen the new GAS GAS in the new ATVsport? This thing is serious! Trimmed the fat, new motor-those guys are saying it will be very formidable against the jap stuff! Cool!
:eek2:

I would really consider one, but I would like someone else to be the ginuea pig. The welds are amazing on that aluminum frame. I think that this bike pending its preformance has really struck a cord with me. I like the all black version. Nice job on the design Kaw lets hope it preforms as good as it looks.

It doesn't look bad.. Id like to see it in person. One thing Im not comfortable with is that frame... That babies gonna snap quick over really big stuff. Looks alittle on the bulky side also, but I'm not gonna jump to conclusions.. I wanna see someone make it a MX'er... Just my .02 guys...

All personal preference. :)

49" generally isn't a good width for XC racing, wich is what this quad is designed for.

46"-47" seems to be the concensus from most XC racers on prefered width. This quad looks to be about that.

I'm a fan of the lt-r myself but I already ahve a woods quad. This one looks to be a dang fine woods racer. Reverse w/ a minimum added weight to boot.

On another site they are saying it is 48" wide and the LT-R is 49" wide. They both have about the same ground clearance also, measured at what I think is the front. If is set up right I think it will do what ever you want right off the floor unless you just a MX guy then you may want the whole extra inch in width.

look at how the a-arms mount up. very strange. almost look like they could move back and forth.

Is it just me, or does anyone else think that all the new quads kind of look the same these days? I'm not a Polaris fan, but the Preditor is the only one that looks different. To me all the Kawi's have a look based around the Tecate.

But then again, I have a 250r and a Shee, I like to sit inside of my bike, not on top, so I probably just need to catch up with the times.

Yes, Tecate's were green! : :p

This machine is fairly unique with the modular fenders-kinda kike a DVX400 and a RAPTOR 700 had a baby!

I like it...lots of people are dogging the lights and front cowling, but it's fairly unique!

How original are you going to get on a quad? That's like saying all street bikes look the same, or snowmobiles, or even friggen' dirtbikes!

If you want to rip on somthing, point your finger at som half a##, like a DINLI or something!
:huh

I had noticed the same thing.:huh Kind of thrown on there looking??? I'm sure they would'nt have cut cost after putting so much thought into it. But I don't want to be the first one to find out how weak the front end and frame is after a tumble...All of the back end of the frame seems pretty thick, maybe heavy, If you know how to tig aluminum, you should be go to go! :D

...Of course,....I still want one!:devil:

Is it going to come stock with the Renthals? In almost every pic I have seen they're on it. Did you notice reservoir looking thing on the clutch side? Is it going to come out with a Hydraulic clutch? The lower Arms mount up kinda like a Nissan pickups lower A arms. So far I like everything but the lights. IMO they could have been more sleek to match the rest of the quad. Thats just me though. They look like they would snap off easily.

why are we so concerned about how the lights look , how many people are actually going to leave them on anyways, sometimes i wonder why they even come with lights anymore

PC-AW, Have you see it in person? If you did, did you try to pick up the front or rear end to see if it was heavy feeling? Did it say How much it weighed? Thanks
