Our club hosted the 2000 National ATV Club Tour here in East Tennessee. I took a few photos that might be of interest.

You can see them by visiting our web site, www.windrockatv.com and then clicking on the Ride Pictures link (even though they didn't let us ride it) and then the Kawasaki ATV Club Tour link.

Hope you enjoy them.

Kevin,

Nice pictures! What were you impressions about the Prarie 650, good & bad.

The road show hasn't made it up to the North West yet.


thank

Some things I liked, some things I didn't.

Liked:
- Rear brake, sealed wet disk
- Horsepower, should be bunches
- Engine Braking, works on all four wheels (if engaged)
- Air box location, where the gas tank is on most ATVs

Disliked:
- Seat, hard as a brick
- Radiator, set back in the frame so far it would be hard to clean out
- 2 to 3 to 4 wheel drive, if I change out of 2 wheel drive I want all 4 pulling without having to pull the auxillary lever
- Gas tank location, having it in front of the right rear wheel would make it prone to punctures

This was a prototype, so some things are bound to change. Overall, it looks like a nice machine with enough inovations to help advance the entire industry.
