The 2015 Kawasaki Mule Pro FXT is Kawasaki’s flagship workhorse UTV that has tons of torque and is versatile enough that it easily goes from working on the farm to taking the entire family out for an adventure. In this review we test the Kawasaki Mule Pro FXT in the vineyards of Paso Robles, California.

Throughout the years, Kawasaki has continued to innovate and fine-tune their line of ATV & Side-by-Sides. For 2014, Kawasaki stayed true to its past and released the all-new Kawasaki Mule Pro FXT, which has came a long way from the first Kawasaki Mule that was introduced in 1988. |

Just two years after the debut of the 2012 Kawasaki Teryx4 750, Kawasaki has already made some significant updates to their four seat Teryx 4 with the recent release of the 2014 Kawasaki Teryx4 800 with increased engine performance and updated suspension. |

We recently attended the 2014 Kawasaki Teryx 800 SxS Media Introduction at the Hatfield McCoy Trail System in West Virginia. This would be a two-day adventure drive covering over 100 miles of rugged terrain in the all-new Kawasaki Teryx 800. The long adventurous drive would prove be a true test of how well the Kawasaki Teryx 800 holds up in real world conditions. |

The Kawasaki Brute Force 750 4x4i utility ATV has always been a well received model, one that has always offered serious power in a user friendly package. The latest offering still boasts some stump pulling grunt that is needed on the trail or around the farm with a smoothness that affords even a new rider the ability to maneuver safely and with confidence. |

ATVriders.com recently had to opportunity to ride at the Hatfield McCoy Trail system located in West Virginia with Kawasaki.

There are 7 trail heads in the Hatfield McCoy trail system including Indian Ridge, Rock House, Little Coal, Buffalo Mountain, Bearwallow, Pinnacle Creek, and the newest trail head the Pocahontas trail system. |

The

Kawasaki to the list of SxS / UTV manufacturers
adding four seat recreational vehicles to their
model lineup. |

Kawaski
recently planned a trip from Lake Havasu
to the Hualapai Mountain Resort in Arizona.
This trip would prove the true durability
and power of the Kawaski Teryx 4 750 4x4
Side-by-Side. In the course of over 100
miles drivers would experience many different
types of terrain. |

For this hunting article, we met up with Charger Wiley at Dual Shot Outdoors for what I hoped to be a successful hunt for a nice gobbler. West Virginia spring turkey season was already a few days old when we were offered the incredible opportunity to join in on this hunt.

ATVriders.com was
recently invited to review the new 2012 Kawasaki
Brute Force 300 utility ATV during its press event
held at the Mines and Meadows riding facility
located in Wampum, PA. The launch of this model
would propel Kawasaki back into the 300 class
with a brand new 2wd machine targeted at the entry
level while replacing the aging Bayou 250 line.

The
Kawasaki Brute Force has always been a popular
model in the utility quad world and now for their
2012 models, Kawasaki has stepped it up and redesigned
the Brute Force, giving it a facelift and some
new performance upgrades, including electronic
power steering, that have raised the bar for the
manufacturer. |

In Part four of our Kawasaki Teryx 750 4x4 UTV / SxS build we add some styling and protection to our ride with the help of a Custom Graphics Kit from Santor Design Co. printed by Spider Graphix and a Bumper, and half-windshield from Pro Armor.

|
 |
|
In Part three of our Kawsaki Teryx 750 4x4 UTV / SxS build we add a little horsepower to the side-by-side and get a better sound out of our machine with a Motoworks SR4 full exhaust system.
|
|
 |
|
In
Part two of our Kawasaki Teryx 750 4x4 UTV / SxS
build we upgrade to aftermarket tires and wheels
from DWT. This tire and wheel combination not
only added a more aggressive look to the UTV but
it also improved the overall handling of the Kawasaki
Teryx 750.

After
being invited out to the Kawasaki Intro at Paradise
Off-Road Park in Kentucky, I was immediately hooked
on UTVs. Before the Kawasaki ride, I had only
driven a Kawasaki Mule, so getting a chance to
drive a Kawasaki Teryx 750 4x4 was a whole new
experience because comparing the Kawasaki Mule
to the Kawasaki Teryx 750 is like comparing a
cargo van to a sports car. |

Arriving
at the Badlands Offroad area for the 2010 Kawasaki
Press Event, things weren’t looking good.
The weather was nasty and it was a good thing
my main focus would be centered on the newly updated
2010 Kawasaki Teryx 750 FI 4x4 RUV. Before it
ever rolled out of the trailer, I knew it would
or should afford me the protection I needed to
get the job done without turning into one water-logged
individual! |

We were recently
invited by Kawasaki out to a new riding facility
in Eastern Kentucky called Mine Made Paradise
Park. Not yet open to the public, we got a sneak
peak of what the vast trail system of Mine Made
Paradise Park will be like first hand, while aboard
some of the newly released 2010 Kawasaki Mule
side by sides. |

Round seven of
the WORCS Racing series at Glen Helen Raceway
in San Bernardino, California would play host
to the 2010 Kawasaki KFX450R debut. The date is
September 26th, and throughout the northern parts
of the U.S. the days are getting cooler and shorter
as winter slowly creeps southward. In southern
California however, things seem to be heating
up, at least in southern California where a heat
wave put temperatures over 100 degrees. |

On
October 15th, I was asked by Harlen Foley of ATVRiders.com
to come out and test ride Kawasaki’s new
2010 Brute Force ATV line up at the Badlands Off-road
Park in Attica, IN. To somewhat of my surprise
most of what Kawasaki had there to ride were utility
quads |

Kawasaki
recognized the need for a sporty, yet practical,
and easy to use machine that could be enjoyed
by just about anyone, in any riding situation,
and has hit the nail on the head with 2009 Kawasaki
Teryx 750 FI 4x4 and Teryx 750 FI 4x4 Sport UTV,
which now have Fuel Injection & other Updates |
|
 |
|
The
Kawasaki Brute Force 750 FI 4x4 utility ATV is
a handful, plain and simple. Its massive 749cc
V Twin injected engine puts out 50 horsepower
that will send the tires howling for traction
at the stab of the throttle in almost any conditions
you can imagine, and it now comes with Fuel Injection |
|
 |
|
As
the market for the RUV has developed over the
past few years, Kawasaki has expanded its line-up
to include the Teryx 750 4x4 RUV, which come with
a first in class 749cc V-Twin Engine. To showcase,
their new release, they invited the media out
to St. George, UT for a Test in the Sand and Rocks |

Not long after its official unveiling
at the Indy trade show in February, the long awaited
racing debut of the 2008 Kawasaki KFX 450R finally
materialized at the opening round of the Grand National
Cross Country Series in Vero Beach, Florida. ATVRiders.com
took closer look at Kawasaki's all new race ATV.
