That is one of the ugliest front ends i've ever saw

[Guy400]

I agree, it's not very good looking and I don't think it's going to dominate any MX circuits but I give Kawasaki credit for producing something. I'm not crazy about automatic transmissions but the package they've put together is killer for the average trail rider.

[NTPracing22]

damn, i wonder which test rider drove it into a wall?

[freakystone]

Uhh, The front looks like a green Yamaha snowmobile...

[cannondale55]

no it looks like a green and black turd with wheels

[Striker49]

Ill believe it when I see it on the Kawi web site/ at a dealer show/ or at the dealer. ;)

[Woodsrider]

It looks heavy..... and ugly

[RideRed04]

That thing is gonna be crazy fast! Think, in utility form, weighing 600lbs, that engine will pace a 400ex. Now it is bumped up in displacement, and hopped up internally, and in a lighter frame! Will I buy one? Probably not, but it is still cool that it is out there. Yes, it is ugly as sin. I think it looks like a utility that lost it's racks myself.

You are right on. I use to own a 02' 650 Prairie and it was neck and neck with my 400EX but with more top end.

It is still butt ugly though.

they should have just remade the LT500 since they're the same company now. this thing just wreaks of polaris hehe. auto tranny? come on, why don't they just set a sign by it saying "really fast eninge, but we put an auto in it so we wouldn't sell to many" i meen come on, serriously?

[300EX KING]

Wow, and i thought the raptor was ugly.

[knighttime]

plus that freakin KAW with the big ***** V twin would roost just about anything in the woods. That thing would be a blast to ride. Jump on it, press the thumb throttle, and you'd be king of the woods. :D

[cannondale55]

yeah no doubt about that hopefully its not top heavy like a scrambler and has good handleing then i will prob. get one to trail ride and just mx with my c-dale

[TC17]

yeah that looks like crap! what's up with an auto tranny? realy? i dont get that. 700 V Twin with a auto tranny?:huh that's crazy that should definitly be manual clutch. it should be pretty fast though.

[Sportrax10]

:eek: that thing looks like a beast! wonder if its a joke?

[Sick0]

The thing weights 508 pounds dry. And it don't use a chain, its has a driveshaft. If the frontend wasn't so hight it would look better.

[Nausty]

pry comparable to the polaris 500 or 600 4x4 whichever it is. I doubt it even has that much horse power for the size of the motor. I wouldn't ever take it on a mx track.

[Sick0]

Watch, Its will be t6he number one quad at MX.

[cannondale55]

the number one quad for mx depends on who as$ is on it and how much money you want to put in it but stock cannondale

[Nausty]

I dunno about you guys but I don't think tim farr could win a pro race on a 250 utility.

[beerock]

Dry weight – 506 pounds

Suspension travel front—9.3 inches

Suspension travel rear—7.9 inches


that bike aint no sport bike..........

and it aint a threat...:rolleyes:

[cannondale55]

nope sounds like a fast trial/sand riding quad

[lil400exman]

put racks on it and it will be one heck of a fast utility quad!!!
