Default General Kawi ATV Owners please help

I am trying to decide whats best for me. I am a very good rider people tell me. I stay on people asses.

I am interested in the 360, but people tell me it dont have enough power. Also I have looked into the BF650. They say its big and bad. I am afraid ill kill myself on it from hearing its too fast and powerful for me.

Whats a good price for a 360 and a good price for a 650. (I am looking to buy one)

I was hoping to get a few suggestions from you guys and some opinions of your own what I should do about this problem.

I wish Kawasaki made more machines in between the 360 and 650. Such a big cc gap.

Thanks brothers

That is strange, they make 2 big bore Utilities a 750 and 650 and one small 4x4 utility but completely stayed out of the mid size 4x4 Utility market altogether.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

But it was not that long ago in the mid 1990's that a 360 would be considered a bad boy.

The 650 is " punchy" but manageable. Depending on your age, size, riding experience, etc, will ultimately be the deciding factor. for my 650i, mine was $6000 otd. If you feel that you will be safer w/ a 360, then get one. But try to test ride both, and see what you think.

I have a 360 and im a very good rider. When i move out ill be moving up to the 650. If you think that you are a good rider, i think you would be fine on the 650. The 360 aint a bad atv, just no a power house. Everything else is good on it.

I had an eiger 400 which is real comparable to the prarie 360 it was a great bike and would go just about anywhere only problem was if you want to put mud tires on it seems to lack power to turn them as well as I would have liked. I would go with the 650

I think the 650 SRA is within a 1000 bucks or so of the 360. Keep in mind there is nothing you can ever do to a 360 to get it to perform like a 650. And you will loose at least a grand or more no matter which one you take off the lot. So trading up later will really cost ya a lot more in the long run . If you can afford it, the 650 would be my recomendation. If the power is to much for you then swap out a clutch spring or leave it in low and turn in the thottle screw. You can slow one down a lot easier and cheaper than you can speed one up.

I am by no means recommending an eiger mine turned into a moneypit I agree with your initial decision of getting a kawi they make a pretty good machine.
