Holey cow, check out the ATV Connection main page. Looks like the bar has just been raised!!!

 

Wow . . . the next year is really going to be interesting!

 

I think this new quad will give Polaris a run for the money.

 

Although I will still wait until I see it before I will believe it. This proves that a twin utulity quad can be produced by Polaris like the rumors said. I am looking forward to this new v twin Kawi in a big way!!!! And it looks better then the other Prairies as well.

 

Now we know why Polaris was working on a 700. I have never liked Kawi but I think it was cool that they went to 4x4 events and asked the people what they really wanted. It looks like they came up with something that is what everyone has been looking for.

 

It will be interesting to see how Polaris responds to this. This seems like a great new machine. Kawasaki just raised the bar another notch.

 

Much more exciting than the Honda everyone was waiting for - which wound up to be a 250. Nothing against Honda, just after the hype, I was disappointed.

 

I looked at the picture closely and it appears to have a swingarm but I can't be positive. I wonder if they are going with a setup closer to the Cat or Traxter than the IRS setup we have.

 

Don't know, but I'd bet the Prairie 650 has a semi-independent swing-axle rear suspension, instead of a swing-arm.

Its going to be interesting, the Kawi might just dethrone the Sportsman as King of the utility quads. We are going to have to wait a few months to find out.
