It's getting old, just waiting for more information about the 650. KAWASAKI, give up some more news, MSRP, over-all dimensions, actual release date, ect.... Your loyal customers are waiting to make decision whether to buy this beast or another brand. Dealer can't help with anything. All I get is "I don't know"

I'm with you. Give me some info. All your doing is upsetting us because you already have all the specs and info.

Maybe a better subject line would have been "KAWASAKI READ THIS!"

I heard that the release date is mid-march of this year, although I cant remember where I read it. Also, Dirt Wheels is going to test the 650 next month!

I heard March also. Which is only 2 mos away. So what is the price going to be? When I bought my "00" 400, I wanted something bigger. I Looked hard at the SP500, but like the Prairie's ride better.

I'd just like to know if it will fit in a 6'5" truck bed and how much will it cost me.

The 650 is just few mm's bigger than the 400 Prairie.

The March issue of ATV Magazine is supposed to have an article with previously unpublished information on the Prairie 650, but I don't think a production model was available for test and evaluation.

I can't wait either. Need some details. Kawasaki is being very hush hush about the details. They don't want another manufacturer beating them to the punch.

The wait shouldn't be much longer, the March issue of dirt wheels goes on sale soon & it should have more info.

To late! Yamaha already beat them to the punch. I can't wait either, I just got a 400ex about 2 weeks ago, I used to have a Tecate4. If the new one looks anything like the old Tecate4, I will have one, the Tecate4 had looks to kill! The 250 they just had out looked terrible! It looked nothing like a Hi Performance quad, it looked more like a low buget sport quad. If they are going to build a HP quad, it should at least look the part. It should look fast sitting still!
