well the quad isnt being sold yet,and i know there is rumor of a 700 cc from polaris..even if the rumor from polaris wasnt true im sure there looking into what they can do to keep up which im sure they will come up with something if they didnt have something already in the works..the fact that the quad isnt being sold yet tells me it will be at least a year before i would consider buying one so they can work the bugs out and then they`ll be another polaris to compete with the cc`s just my thought..besides my wife said my last quad would be the last for a long time,so i know i wont be buying nay bigger quads as i cant afford a divorce..and im happy with my 425,plenty of power for me

 

Its sounds nice don't it. They said it will have true awd to? Did they copy polaris, I wonder? I guess we all will be interested in seeing the full specks on this machine. I guess it makes the polaris 700 twin more possible.

For me personally, a new super quad will/would be a polaris 625 cc 6 speed. Built light. same clearance as current sp 500. Build it please!

The 700SP Polaris is an in-line, liquid cooled fourstroke twin. This could get very interesting................. Ride'em Hard Polcat

 

The 650 will for sure the Traxtor not happening. The Prairie is a good riding machine. a 650 twin wow! cool though if you ask me then a 700 will be coming soon from Polaris.

 

i would buy one , my experience with the Praires are nice auto tranny, big comfy seat, nice ride, the dealer up here told my friend rick he should buy the 400 Praire as opposed to the Ruby the ride is better on the 400! Well this will be good now i won't have the best so people will quit hounding me to go first through every freaking mudhole LOL

 

polcat
was the sp700 to counter the 650 kawie? did polaris know about the 650 a while ago? or were they surprised like the rest of us. is it true that the sp700 comes out on the 23rd of sept.

i think the kawie 650 will have swingarm rear suspension, because if it did have Irs they would have told that in the introduction because that would be a big deal.

later

Cost guesses?? $8000? I bet they would get many takers.

 

No, they didn't copy Polaris, Rangerchet, according to the press release on the ATV Connection home page, suggesting a handlebar-mounted rider-controlled differential locking mechanism. Since Polarises have no differentials, the Kawasaki obviously didn't copy the "On Demand" system.

YEEEHAAWW!If the Sportsman 700 doesn't come out within a few months it's gonna be hello 650!If you ask me, Honda is probably crying the ATV blues. The Rubicon is cool and all, but a little small-a few years ago I never even thought about a 500, let alone it being too small!This new Kaw. is gonna kick like a mule. I sure hope Polaris doesn't let me down though.

 

Except for the trans on the Ruby,it really does'nt do much for me.It still incorperates the same ole drum style brakes,no switchable 2wd-4wd,A small seat,and no IRS,a very high $$ sign for having less.

This new Kaw sounds awesume.I also cant wait for the final spec sheet on this 4x4.I told the wife about this new quad,she asked me when I was picking it up?The damn thing aint even out yet.lol===Bill
