Kawa model/engine history?
Hi folks. I was wondering if there are any Kawasaki buffs out there that could tell me about the history of the Prairie from '02 to present? Specifically, when did they go from the 650cc to the 700cc and how long did they produce the 700? And is it the same engine as the 650 just bored out, or a completely different engine? And do they still produce the 700? Is it the same engine now in the Brute Force?
I've heard rumors that the 700 Prairie overheated more than the 650. Any truth to that? Was it a problem engine?
I'm looking at purchasing another Prairie (used) but don't know if I should get another 650 or try for the 700.
Thanks a bunch!

> P700 was made for only 3 model years, 04-06.
And is it the same engine as the 650 just bored out, or a completely different engine?
> Basically a same engine, just bigger. Same crank, same case, same rods, etc.
And do they still produce the 700?
