Have any of you guys checked these out Kawabunga DUDES If canam don't impress me fast guess what im buying.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Looks good on paper. If it was around when I bought my z, I'd be riding green right now. As long as it's a good reliable machine. I wanted a sport quad with reverse, good suspension, good power, and reasonably priced. I didn't need the fastest, I'd rather have reverse. But this thing looks awesome.

 

I loved everything about that monster.I put both bikes bumper to bumper and lifted the front with one hand each there is a big differance in the weight of each even though the spec sheet says the weights almost the same the kawie feels so much lighter than the Z. Which i also like both are so much better engineered for moto then the yammie out of the box the honda was a step above the yammie but i would still have the KX or the Z any day over either one of the super powers bikes.

 

Wow. . . AZ you going to jump ship too?

I saw one at the hill very shortly after they were released. . . didn't have a pipe and performed about as well as you would expect a stock quad to do. . . Wonder what mods will be to come on it.

 

That Kawi does look sharp and all aluminum frame. Still waiting on a Can-Am's new product.... I'm very curious if they can deliver on what they promise.

 

The Kawasaki, as nice as it is, won't be a thought after June 2.

I expect to race azsand out at Test hill on our DS 450's next Thanksgiving!!

Can't wait for a shootout! I think the KFX450 is sweet!!!! The ds450 has some sweet features as well.

 

rode the new kawi a couple of weeks ago. wasnt all that impressed. I like the frame. seat is the hardest ever. my yfz is faster off the line. and stays right beside the kawi with a 80 lb. heavier rider on the yfz. not a bad quad. but after riding one, it changed my mind on considering one for myself.

 

i read on another site that sandgod from utah has one,he rolled it,1 roll sideways about 15mph and bent the frame in the front,and stress cracked some welds ect.he has cannondales and said hes wrecked way worse and never had a issuse with the dale frames.he doesnt seem to be very happy with the kawi,lol

 

I just rode a friend of mines this weekend and it does run good. If I was going to buy a 450 I would buy a Kawi unless Can-am does something. It's way more comfy than any Yfz or Trx i have ridden and with efi no jetting.
