I agree, I think it will tear up. pretty much anything you put it on expect it to be torn up. enjoy it and dont worry about it.

Great machine, I've had mine one year now and knock on wood, it's the most dependable quad I've ever owned. You won't be dissappointed.

Every aspect of the Prairie is built better than hondas and yamaha's, with the exception of the belt (and maybe the plastic). You have to keep the belt tight or it will need replacing often. But, it is easy to do so don't worry about it.

That first sentence may sound like just plain bias, but I have had mine for two years and it appears to be less problematic that Griz, Rubicon, Rincon etc. It can take more beating. I don't even talk about pol@ris here, I seen polaris problems on almost every single ride I have ridden on with someone with a polaris.

Ask the 10 time GNCC champion, and all the other successful Kawi riders, if it "sucks".

If they can't offer valid reasons for their statements then it is just ignorance talking.

patrick21,

The Prairie 650's are a good solid machine. My dad bought one last year and he loves it. He spent most weekends this past summer riding the trails of northern PA, blasting mud holes, shale pits, you name it. His Prairie even went end over end down a steep slope. The only damage was a blown tire, bent rim and some plastic cosmetic damage. Other than that, it is running as strong as ever. He has not had a single problem with it and he has certainly been running it hard. I like his so much that I am planning on getting one of the new Prairie 700's in a few months. You made a good choice with the Prairie, enjoy it [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

What year did the p 650 come out on the market? When it did come out how did it compare to the others that had been out for years like the Sportsman and Grizzly?
