since the 450 came out and all the magazines are praising it (and i jumped on the bandwagon) does anyone think that kawi will improve as time goes on? pretty much you can put what you want from them and what you think theyll do (and any other company you want).

what id like to see:
a new 400 sport (with its own plastic design)
a new 250 sport/performance
leave the dirtbikes as is
modify the kfx 700
leave the utes as is
toss the mules and come up with a rhino like machine (or at least ranger)
and get rid of those ninjas and try to take the bike world over.

and i think we'll see:
most likely just the 400

I liked their 636 sport bike, real good power and a nice bike, to bad they are not making them now.

I sat on one. My god I fell inlove with it, if I were to ever buy a quad that would probably be it or a 250r.

Kawasaki has steped up a lot. They make nice and mean dirt bikes and their quads aren't great and have room for improvement.

I went to the dealer and sat on the white and black one and they let me ride it around the blacktop. A few weeks ago I got to ride my friends friends 450. He had it geared down for gncc but you could definantly tell the power was there. The moment you blipped the throttle it was gone!!

Heres a picture of it

I dont know if you`ll see that from kawi, but KTM will be close with the 525 XC quad.

while i did say any brand, and personally think that yamaha blows, i did have an old wolverine 350 once and really liked it and i think yamaha dropped the ball with this new wolverine or "kodiac with fat raptor plastic" i mean if yam. needed that plastic so bad they just shoulda stuck it on the old models.

anyone see the 450 shootout in atvsport, not really that surprising.....the kawi doesn't seem to be as great now as it seemed in the beginning, not saying that it isn't a good quad though

Kawi is goin in the right direction. Im sure the next couple of years will be full of improvments of its first year 450.

yeah the atvsport mag pretty much said what everyone knows but no one wants to admit and thats that (in stock form) no one 450 is better than the rest their all good at something but not everything so overall im happy with my kfx purchase now im just hoping pros start winning championships to show tht any 450 can win at any time.
