When do the new 2007 models come out, or at least when do we get to find out what's going to be new for the new year?

 

Dealer show is 2nd or 3rd week in June.......look for the Brute Force with an 800cc motor and upgrades to re-claim the top spot from the Bomb 800, also strong rumors that the new "Mule" type side by side will finally be unveiled with the Brute V-twin motor to do battle with the Rhino/Prowler/Ranger..... machine will have IRS,locker etc. but with the V-twin will be the most powerfull model out....unsure about the 700kfx or other models........Prairie 700 will likely be discontinued, look mfor 650 Brute IRS and straight axle models.......

 

I want new BF 650i (with IRS) with EFI...

 

Why wouldn't they make the Prairie a 750? This would make most sense. Well maybe a brute 750 with a SRA.

 

I think a 650 sra and IRS model and a 750/800 sra and IRS model would be great also, But the deal is, there are survey's that they do, and the majority of buyers want IRS nowaday's....I would say even the small Brute with the straight axle will not be around much longer maybe even this model year and then it's gone...........

 

I hope June never comes.... no more kvf700... I'm not sold on irs yet. I thought I hear rumors about a 450-500 cc machine again this year.

 

I personaly think if they want an off the rack model to compete with the renegade, without spending a ton in RD then they need the BF800 SRA just as bad as they need the IRS. Unless they have done a total redesign on there IRS system for 07.On another note, I really hope they do a Rhino fighter 800 twin sport ute side by side, that would be awsome.

Kawi650, I dobt they do away with the SRA chassis, its still a good seller, they have just confused buyers by having both the 650 brute version and the 700 Prairie version, the 650 has allot better plastic, but the 700 has more pony's so I think they will still have at least one of them, I just hope what ever they do, involving a top cc model that they offer it in both forms(IRS&SRA) They could not give me one of there IRS systems. There is only one IRS quad on the market I would say is a great handeling stable machine and thats the Outy. I hope they get it right this year.

 

Hey, nobody else concerned over the fact that Kawasaki does not offer a single ute with EFI?! Honda has one now, and Suzuki has had one for what, two years? Polaris has them. Outty now has them. There are very strong rumors that the new Grizz will have it, too. So, what gives Kawasaki?! Give us a nice, powerful, stable V-twin unit with IRS and with EFI!!! The BF 650i with EFI would do just fine. LOL...

 

That's a good point about EFI. This could be a make or break year for Kawasaki. They need to come up with an EFI system, and an updated big bore to compete with the heavy hitters out on the market. Sure the 750 is good, but it needs at least $1500 in mods to compete with the Outy. However, even with $1500 of upgrades the Brute is still quite a bit less than what Can-am wants for a stock Outy.

Really, Kawi only needs to make an EFI quad that will compare to the Outy in handling while maintaining the current pricing. If they can add EFI and better handling for the same price point, BRP will have to look for more excuses to drive the price up on their 800

 

A kawi 800 V-Twin, in an Arctic Cat ATV would be heaven for me!!
