For you who are patiently waiting for
the arrival of this beast. Have faith,
our local dealer was told to expect
delivery at the end of April or the
first of May. Production line tooling
is the cause of the delay. Kawasaki
doesn't want anything loose on these
units, except the Riders.
Take a look at *********.com. Great
article. It is worth waiting for.

1 post history, with a catchy title.

Dealer or Factory Rep, you decide.

**************************************************

With all of the excuses and shipping delays you guys are beginning to sound like an old jewelry/used car salesman saying "Trust me".

Gentlemen... seriously, consumer interest is waning and prospects are becoming disgruntled. Stop the teasing and ship the da@#$d things.

Thor, although you & I disagree most of the time. I do agree with your post, 100%. I have been waiting & losing interest. After riding with Magnum this weekend, I was impressed. I am really starting to look at a new Sportsman for my next ride. All the aluminum parts on the Kawasaki is it going to be durable?

Snowshark I think you should buy the Polaris. Then you can sit and watch you buddies buy Kawasakis when they come out and you will be stuck on an old machine that weighs too mouch and has spotty reliability. Hurry, I see smoke! I think the money in your wallet is burning a hole in your pocket.

Hmmmmmmm?

Is it possible that Kawasaki is shipping the Canadian units first?

Is Kawasaki trying to gain favor with our friends north of the border unlike Honda did with it's introduction of the Rubicon?

Could this be the reason for the delays in the USA? Interesting thought?

Don't listen to gpartc, he is full of it. (BS that is)
After a call to the dealer, I was informed that they have one of Kawa's prototypes that have been floating around, from dealer to dealer, since late last fall. He told me that it is one that has no battery, no air box and a few other items were missing from the machine. Baisically it is a non working machine. He told me that he was hoping to get delivery of the first unit in about a month. So as you can see, he is guessing and waiting like the rest of us.

PS gpartc, keep your BS off this forum. We are all here to give and get reliable information and not the crap that you post!!!!
