I especially like the "twist grip" for changing from forward, to neutral, to reverse. Sweet setup, Kawasaki! Speaking of niche machines, I felt exactly the same way when I sold my Polaris Sport. Although it was an automatic, it wasn't exactly the kind of machine you'd want a beginner learning on. I'm sure the V-Force would have given it a run for it's money. One thing I don't understand is why they have the rear brake lever on the left handle bar. It seems to me that it is a bit redundant if they have a foot brake on the right side.

 

Does someone still make a 400 sport machine? Seems the 400 is going to be an entry level quad who would agree with this?

Since Polaris has brought the predator, Kaw the 700, Bomb the 650, Yamaha the 660, I have left out someone but forget who but does it not look like the sport for big bores is around the corner?

Just curious as I kow the manufacturers will surely push to get the division included.
