I'm thinking about buying a new 400-500cc 4X4 quad and would like to hear the Pros & Cons of the Kawasaki lineup. I've kind of got it narrowed down to the Suzuki, Honda, Kawasaki, Yahama, and Polaris. I know this is the Kawasaki forum and I will probably post it in each forum to get evaryones feedback but Suzuki and Honda are at the top of the list right now. I thought I wanted a 400 rancher but the honda guys talked me out of it, kinda strange hum? They said 350 was better than 400. Still havent gotten a reason why yet though. You guys let me know about your Kawasaki's also advise about the P & C's of auto vs. manual.
Thanks anyone for any info please.

 

you can find really good deals on a bruteforce 650 sra. The msrp is 6500 or somthing like that but you can find them in the mid 5's. It has allot of power. I would get the kawasaki 650 if you dont mind spending that money. By the way, they probally told you to look other places other than the 400 rancher because it is crap. Bad tranys i hear.

 

i really like the auto tranny.going up steep slopes no shifting,in tight trails.just seems like a more relaxing ride.but thats just me getting older i guess
