I am in the maket for yet another ATV. I narrowed it down to the Kodiak 450 and Grizz, but totally forgot about the p-650. The grizz is out of the picture now, and am really considering a Prairie. Is the prairie worth the extra money over the Kodiak? Can you please give me the pro's and con's (if there are any) of the Prairie, or anything that will help me be set of one of the 2 quads? How does the kodiak compare? Right now I can get the kodiak for 5400. Also, does anyone know where I can get a Prairie 650 cheap, new or used? Thanks in advance

 

Advantage of Kodiak 450 over p-650...$1000

Advantage of Prairie 650...Motor...Motor...Motor!!!

If money is not an issue go with the Prairie. It is like no other atv I have ever rode.

 

There is simply no comparison. If you can afford the extra money, get the prairie. The ONLY advantage of the Kodiak over the Prairie 650 is the price.

 

Here is a thought I have a friend with a bored out Kodiac 400 piped jetted the works and It will run with my in stock 650 but not modded 650 does that help.

 

Big4x4,
Is that a RC car in your sig I used to be into RC cars some time ago and love the sport although winter around here puts a damper on racing. Looks good though makes me wanna did up the old Associated 10 stadium racer.

 

Yea that is an RC car in my sig! I never thought I would like them again, but something happened! I feel like a little kid again...I got back into rc'ing after like 10 years of being out. I bought 3 new cars to add to my collection and its a blast, including one nitro buggy! BTW, I just bought a prairie 650 off of ebay! Hopefully the transaction goes well[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Thanks for all the help, I really appreciate it

 

Big4x4,
You are lucky you are in the mecca of RC car enthusiasum I believe Team Associated resides there somewhere as with other major name brands I can't remember. You will like your new 650 when you get it there is great potential with this machine. This forum is known all around for the best information concerning Kawi's have fun PM some time about your RC stuff.

 

Gotta love R/C, I have a RC10GT and a RC10T2. Both are great trucks although I need to get a new motor for the GT. Its such a great hobby.

 

i love my 02 p650 and so does everyone else that i ride with most have 450 hondas
but one fella has a 500 suzuki vinson
he states quite alot that he wishes he would have bought the praire
i see no problem with the vinson except underpowered compared to the 650
sorry i cant compare it to any other bikes
i can guarante you will be very pleased and impressed with a p650
push the throttle and hang on

 

But the 650 has that rear brake that will almost never wear out. That is handy since brakes wear out so much on ATVs. Suzuki and Kawasaki are together on a lot of things, so why doesn't Suzuki offer that sealed rear brake?
