I got a call from my buddy at the Kawi plant today. He told me he walked past a line where they were building a quad that he didn't recognize. Apparently he looked it over once his shift was done. It had 750 on the side, but instead of Prairie, it had Brute Force on the sticker. He told me it was IRS but couldn't tell if it was EFI. He thought the carbs looked different but that was it. I wonder now if the Prairie will continue with the 700 but if you want IRS, you will have to get the Brute Force... Just a tidbit to get you guys talking...

 

I think your buddy needs a small camera in his lunch box. Did he mention if it's a protype?

 

He did say he thought it was a prototype. He heard there were 20 being built right now. The colors he saw were the dark forest green and camo.

 

There is a company called Brute Performance so hopefully if the story is true Yamaha didn't step on their trademark.

 

Yamaha wishes they had a 750, lol. You mean Kawasaki Dbeck?

I don't know if I like the name Brute Force, sounds bad I think. Hard to think up a good name.

 

My big question is why didn't it have Prairie on the sticker??? Do you think they will make this a new line with this different name? Continue with the Prairie as a 700cc with the straight axel? I guess time will tell. I heard production on these 750s starts next month...

 

Not sure about the Brute Force as a name, I guess if you have a v-force as a name, it might match.

Anyway it should be something besides a Prairie, that name doesn't cut it as being mean.

I vote for "VENGEANCE", the same as our pulling name.

Ask your friend to find out about the carbs, they would be different if EFI, I need something larger than 32's. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

 

since Kawi has to drop the V-Force name, maybe it is a prototype V-Force with IRS, code named Brute Force? Could be [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

You never know with the industry growing the way it has been.

 

I'm sure I will talk to him again today once he gets off work. I'll let you know what he has to report. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Thanks in advance for the followup PCDoc. I told my Kawi dealer to put my name down for the first one he gets last week. Now I can even tell him the name of what he is putting my name down for, LOL.
