I rode a Scrambler 500 4x4 for the first time yesterday and it was GREAT. Anyone ride the kawasaki yet? How do the two machines compare as far as handling, etc? Should I spend the extra $1000 and buy the Kawasaki?
Thanks.

 

if i was you and going to spend the big green i would get a RUBICON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!the fastest by a long shot!!!!no belts to slip and drum brakes!!

 

What do you want a sport or a utility?
If I was to get another Quad today it would be the Griz.

As far as the Ruby being the fastest,Thats not true.
In the 500cc class
the HO is fastest
true 4x4
2x4 when you want it
major ground clearance
IRS

And whats the deal with bragging about drum breaks?

 

The 650 the HO and the Scram 500 will all beat the Ruby. and in the mud the Scram and the HO far outperform the Ruby, not sure on the 650 yet, have not seen one in action.

 

Real4x4, dont you have a polaris explorer? Are you using narcotics?

 

come on guys i was just joking about the rubicon!!!i bet you guys thought i had a case of hondaitus!!if you want a more sportier quad get the 500 and if you want the big 650 then go for it.the 650 will probably outrun the 500 scrambler .but my friends 400 scrambler out run a 650.

 

no doood, real4x4 ur rong! if it were me, id spend the exta $$ on a REECON!!!11 or mayybe a fortrackxs 300!!!!!1111
that thing will kick ur stoopid exploers' azz!!!!!!!1111 it dusnt way as much, and its faster!!!!!!!11111

I have HEARD the new Kawi will outrun a 500 Sc. I also have HEARD it handles better. I don't know about the first, but I could believe it, and I also could believe the second, as it is lighter.
HOWEVER, drive a 400 Scrambler (or even an Xplorer) Lighter than either one, cheaper than the 500, and with $200 in mods will outrun both.
