Exactly; who cares about the looks. The machine is covered with dirt and mud two minutes after riding anyway. I have been a satisfied Prairie owner since 98 with a 400 and 650 models. Kawi has eliminated the steel front ends on all these new models. Not sure about anyone else, but I have on occasion found myself tanking through brush and a little minor bumper cars with other ATVs and them darn small trees. That steel wrapped front end connecting all the way up to the steel racks served its purpose real well.

 

Hawkeye,
I am now very upset because I got my hopes up and wont be getting a new quad. I noticed later last night it was only for youth ATVs, but if by chance they change that I'll hopefully get a new one.

 

gtchief- lets see you already have a P650 and now you want to trade it in on a BF650......

Why not keep what you got and just buy the plastic and hangers??? Seams like you could save a lot of money that way???
