Default The beast is here!!!!

Hello all, the 700 VFORCE is in northwestern North Carolina, This thing is BIG, looks better in person. My mechanic buddy at the local dealer called this evening 3:00 pm and said it was here so I went to see it in all it's glory. The cross country racers might be happy with this one, it has arm yanking torque and is very,very quick off the bottom end, it will for sure be the holeshot KING with no doubt! For you guys who have rode wheelies on the prarie, when the pr. takes off the power is there then lets go after a little bit, this thing just keeps pulling ,just stab the throttle bring it up, let it back down, and you can bring right back up no problem!! It will hit 40 mph easy (ran out of room) For open trails fire roads stuff like that this will be the machine. The big concern will be the weight, it's good in the parking lot but that don't tell anything, It is kind of stiff sitting still (suspension) but it needs to be due to the monster torque when you get on the throttle. It has a different sound than the prarie it's like it has different lobe profile on the camshafts, a little fine tuning ,pipes,filter,jets, the usual this thig will be a BIG handfull!!! well later, scram..

I talked with kawasaki today and they told me that we would be seeing them landing all across the country over the next 2 weeks, all dealers will be getting one the first go around. There were no color specific shipping info.

I sat on one in the dealership today while picking up some foam filter oil for the prairie. Looks and feels pretty cool, still feels tiny compared to the prairie but probably huge for sport quad riders. Looks pretty mean!

Hay Lightman and all the guys

I heard from my Ft Lauderdale Kawai guy - maybe a week or two until I get my KFX700

My Georgia Kawasaki guy said he will have one next week but I think Im gonna wait for the local guy
I purchased in advance $5,995 + tax that's $500 off list price - did anyone do better than that?
Did anyone see Dirt Wheels newest issue? Let's just say some of my pages are sticking together now - you might not want to borrow mine -
it confirms Lightman's review -

Lightman,
I am going to Big Cypress National preserve Friday - planning to register my Big Bear and attend their dopey movie/class - pay my dues and get the required sticker
I am READY TO RIDE the Big Cypress -
say the date and time, I'll ride it with you
call me 954-747-8814 - 24/7 - ready to roll - just killing time before VFORCE is roostin the raptors and the rest of 'em.

See ya on the trail, and in my dust

Gary Mudder soon to be known as Gary King Kong Carter

It seems to be correct - the 700s are on their way! I just received word from my Kawasaki dealer that my KFX 700 is going to be delivered next Tuesday (3/4). Unfortunately, he doesn't know what color quad is being shipped (I want the orange version).
