Wow! What a response! Thank you Everyone who responded.
The information is very helpful, and I truly appreciate all opinions - even and especially those that don't agree with mine.
I was correctly identified as one who needs ALL information before making the purchase
I have personally spoken with Kawai in California regarding aftermarket items, features and details like the release date and such; and all I know is Roll Design is selected as their first aftermarket supplier for: Nerfs, bumpers, 5.5 gal fuel tank w/fast fill valve and more (also printed in Dirt Wheels - Dec'02)
I know a lot about this machine's origins - numerous buddies own the Prairie 650 and they call it "bulletproof" "unstoppable" even DW names it ATV of the Year two years in a row - but I know they are motivated by money to say it.....

I think I am gonna go for it.

My local dealer made me a killer deal -
$6,000 + tx $100 deposit and I'll get the first one in town ... for better or for worse!

My guess the demand will skyrocket when DW and the other mags have a full spread with photos and stats and all that fluff, and demand is high, and supply is low ... prices go UP!

And BTW, the four year extended warranty is @$550 - a good deal, too

I have owned my Yamaha Big Bear 400 4x4 for three years without an incident -
I have beat the hell out of it and it always forgives me and asks for more.
My wish is my New Kawasaki KFX 700 treats me the same way....

Thanks again!

I saw several models, one custom w/ dual exhaust, but the Kawasaki Brochure shows two into one, but the possibility is there, isn't it?
