Its just messed up, it has an aluminum frame, and it is still 364 lbs, that is 14lbs more than the yfz! i was expecting it to be at least 345lbs or less and also
-its narrow, only 46"
-has reverse
-has only 8.5inch travel on front
Or was this supposed to be a trail machine????
They messed up big time on this one

It has an electric starter/battery and the trany has reverse gears. That's why it weighs more than a 450R.
Aluminum doesn't necessarily equate to lighter. You have to use thicker tubing and more gusseting when you go with aluminum. What it does do is it flexes where they want it to flex and is solid and ridged where they want it to be solid and ridged.
Here is an idea for you...... Wait until it comes out then make your conclusions based on FACTS not just "Duh.... Me thinks it Sucks."

Not that I have any of them, I am a big fan of the sport/race machines, and miss my Raptor. I cant wait to see how the new KFX compares. I'm sure it will be as good if not better. After all, they had all the other machines out to compare the proto type to before finalizing it.
