I have a rubicon on order; however, it will not be in until December. I am curious how the Rubicon compares to the Kodiak in ride pushiness and power.

I realize these machines are in different classes; but I'd like to hear how they compare as I have access to a Kodiak and would like to find out what I can expect from the Rubicon.

Is the weight of the Rubicon; as compared to the kodiak, noticeable?

How does the power compare? I'm not looking for specification difference; but rather the "fun factor". Which one puts a bigger smile on your face when you're storming down the trails?

The Kodiak seems like a nice package; I hope the Rubicon can step up to the plate.

 

OOOOOhhhh, if my Honda Rubicon can beat my friends
300ex in the woods and take off alote faster than it, it can surly beat the kodiak. When I punch the gas all the way down, it puts you back in the seat.

 

I can tell you from first hand experience that the Rubicon is much quicker more stable softer riding and a heck of a lot better in fit & finish. My good friend owns a local yamaha and suzuki dealership and is soon to have the rights to kawasaki. So as soon as he gets them I'll tell you how it compares to the new prarie. Oh and by the way my fiance and I both own Honda Rubicons.

 

Thanks for the responses. I look forward to getting the Rubicon and any way I can benchmark the Honda helps ease the wait.
