you got it Andy..the only thing that will happen is youll be outrun in a drag race and maybe out mudded in the slop..big deal..just because a corvette is faster than my pickup doesnt mean im gonna run right out and buy a corvette for the thought of "damn Joe blow has a car thats a bit faster than me..nutz..i gotta have one"..it might be different if i was loaded with cash just hanging off my trees but thats not the case...besides..I still want to let them work out the bugs ,which every new year seams to have...
just look at the first year run of the Raptor..they couldnt keep second gear in those things..or the 02,03 650's with that GD tranny whine...there is bound to be problems with this one being its all new design and IRS and all...ok..im done ranting..lol..but by all means guys..go get one so when i go to look at them in a year or two the bugs will be all worked out..

Is this 750 a bored out 650/700 or a 650/700 with a longer stroke or a complete new motor?

Just a bigger bore, so 800cc is still the limit. Disapointing.

Hey......what website do you go to for pictures? I don't see the official kawasaki website updated yet. I did see some of the pictures that were passed on and they look very nice, but I would like to know the actual website. Thanks for the help.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

It does have the KEBC and it works just fine on the unit. Yeah, its the 700 engine thats been stroked out..would hardly call that dissappointing Brent....what do you want anyways?..109 out of the box stock isnt enough for you?...44lbs of torgue isnt enough grunt? 51 hp isnt enough pull for you..I dont think you'll see any other stock machines tailights when youre running around the trails

2 things about the BF 750 specs on the AU Kaw. website bother me a little.

First, it specifically lists the trans. as 1 range...but also lists the gear ratios for both hi and low range...so I'm gonna have to assume that they made a typo and the BF 750 actually has both hi and low range.

Second, that site lists the P700 (called the workhorse 700 in AU) as having electric start with recoil backup...but the BF750 is only listed as having electric start. Does this mean that the BF 750 has no back-up starter (pull rope)??? I sure hope that this is yet another typo...I would hate to think that they left off the pull rope starter in order to save a little weight!

Does anyone know if the BF 750 definitely has a pull rope starter and also hi/low range???

Happy trails...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Seems to me this is (As my Grandma used to say), "Much to do about Nuthin". This is simply the continuing evolution of the Utility ATV, and at most, another option for those looking for an IRS Quad. Smart move on Kawie's part. Fact is (As far as some are concerned and I might have to agree), they built a better mousetrap, with the A-Arm front suspention and the much requested IRS. Personally, I'm more of a SRA kind of guy but to each their own. Beats the H*ll out of having Kawie sit on the **** for the next 10 years (Like another company that will remain nameless), until the competition is so far ahead of them that it takes 5 years to catch up again.

The BEST part of the whole thing is that if you don't want one, you Don't have to buy one, and you still have the option of purchasing the Kick-A** Prairie 700 with the SRA.

Think about it, Kawie will now have the top 2 Utility ATV's on the market today. It's all good, when the only competion out there is yourself (I win more races that way. J/K). [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

On the UK site specs, Thats not a "1" in front of "Range" thats an "I"....what it stands for who knows?

I see the Recoil on the pics, It definately has a recoil....and besides, you know its possibly UK gets different options than USA, they do it all the time with Bikes.
