I'm looking for a midsize bike, and have come to the conclusion of a Kawasaki 360 or Arctic Cat 375. The problem is there both great bikes. Both 4wheel, both auto and neither have full independent suspension. They are so similar I can't decide. Nobody around here drives Kawasaki, Should I be the first?

 

I have been very happy with my Bayou. The snowmobile makers have shown problems with ATV reliability in the past.

my ac is fine and reliable, and i just ride and forget about it.

 

The Kawis are bulletproof. I have had them all(other manufacturers) and like the Bayous and Prairies the best. My Prairie has been utilized as a skidder, a bulldozer, a towtruck, and pack mule. It's been used for just about everything but a regular fourwheeler. It has been subjected to EXTREME duty and lived.

 

my kawasaki prairie 300 2x4 had gone through a whole lot more than i expected it to for only a 2x4, i went through some mud where my buddy on a kodiak 400 4x4 got stuck in, and he was in 4 wheel drive!!! you should definitely get a kawasaki, mine has been beaten on, and still runs fine, GET A KAWASAKI, MAN!!!!!

 

With your help,I'm really leaning to the Prairie 360. That is, once I see one. Now if the dealer would just get them in. I heard mid March![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Well I have to weigh in for the Cat 375 4x4 auto. I tried out the Kawasaki along with a Honda Rancher, Yamaha Big Bear, Suzuki Eiger and the Cat. All were great bikes but higer ground clearance, larger rack capacity and lower price on the Cat sold me. I'm just waiting for it arrive at the dealer.

 

My brother and I both own kawasaki's and we swear by them, as far as quality goes. We change oil and clean the filter. That is it.

The other thing you need to realize about the kawasaki 360, is that it will have 2 important things that no other quad can match:

1. The best brakes ever. It has the Prairie 650 rear brakes, which are hands down the best in the industry. They not only stop better, they can't get water on them, and they last longest.

2. The front locking Diff. The kawi locking diff can be engaged stopped or moving. No other quad can do that.

My brother bought his Prairie 400 used. I think it was by far the best quad for the money at the time. But, the new 360 has the above better features than the 400. I have a 650 and would get it again if I was faced with the choice.

 

They have oil in them?

 

I'm not buying another 4wd without a locking front end. That would make my decision.
