You mean Kawasaki Prarie??? Looks like a Bomb from the front a lil. I wish Suzuki would have made there own 700 without any comparison to the Prarie. Is the Engine built by Kawasaki also? Im a Suzuki fan but I dont like this. Im pretty sure its going to be a awesome machine. It seems like Kawi and Suzuki are taking turns building machines and sharing them, I hope this thing between them is over soon.

 

If it keeps both manufacturers in the ATV business then I'm all for a partnership.

 

Well if Suzuki would get on the ball and build some machines, maybe they wouldnt have any trouble staying in business. Suzuki was the last to make a big bore. Suzuki built the first 4 wheel ATV, I think they should be on the top. Is this why they are doing this is to stay in business?

 

I wouldn't be surprised to see a yellow V-force.

 

I kinda like the way it looks! LOL!!! I think I may have to check out the price of the blue plastic for my Prairie!!!

 

Personally I like the idea of Kawi, Suzuki, Arctic Cat sharing their models and motors. Not sure I like the Suzuki twin peaks all that much, but I'm guessin' this means a Suzuki version of the KFX-700 V-Force is right around the corner....think it might actually look pretty nice in White/Black or yellow. If any 1 of these manufacturers decides to produce a 450 sport quad, chances are it'll be available through all 3 companys with different plastics (min of 6 rainbow colors to choose from) as opposed to the Yamaha and Honda two color limit. Great thinkin' on these manufacturers part to team up and save overall manufacturing costs, and increase gross profits by providing for each other and applying some of it back to R&D.....maybe we'll see that 450 before '05...maybe.....

 

I thought the partnership between kawi and suzuki was going to over after the Z400 was built, so they are still in partnership? Will they remain in partnership, or is this temporary until business is up?

 

Suzuki was offered the v-force, but they past it up because they are currently making their own big bore sport quad. I also have heard rumors about kawi making their own 450.

 

The new Suzuki KingQuad (and 450 4-stroke MX dirtbike) will be out next year.
Single cylinder 700cc, FUEL INJECTION, Independent rear suspension.
The prarie/twin peaks will fill the gap till then.
This was announced at the dealer show Friday night.
Sport quad versions of the new 450 MX and KingQuad we can only hope for, but will probably follow.
And I, as always, am hoping for breakthrough new minis.....

 

Why on earth would they build a 700 single cylinder. Dosen't make ay sense from a performance standpoint or for efficiency power wise.
