what do you guys think? i don't think it will do that well. the scrambler is not much heavier and you have 4 wheel drive. I don't think polaris really sells alot of scramblers. I own a scrambler and I love it, but I don't think Kawi is not really breaking any new ground.

 

That artical scared me at first glance. I thought the Predator was dethroned before it was even on the trail. I see now that the Predator still has no competetion. A 500+ pound automatic quad is far from the same class. It will be a great beginner/intermediate sport machine. You are right though, I think the Scrambler has it beat with the four wheel drive. I see Scramblers quite a bit on the trail, the sales can't be too far from the Sportmans compared to other Polaris quads.

 

I think that thing is ugly as hell. The front looks like its smushed in. Why in the hell did they make it shaft drive? I don't see why anyone would buy it. Its too heavy and doesn't have the features (Shaft drive, auto, etc) to be a sport and it doesn't have 4X4 to be a sport/utility and it sure as hell isn't a utility so it has no place.

 

You have to give them some credit for trying though.If this thing does come with 4x4,I'm going to be first in line!!!

 

eb,
your right. This thing isn't coming out for a year so who knows what it will have when it does come out. If kawi was smart they'd be looking over forums like this and seeing what people think and want!

 

The Predator isn't even in production yet, and you're saying it has no competition? You do know that there are other manufacturers producing quads, don't you?

 

Hey, I might be interested in it. I do like the Predator, but where I ride I need the auto tranny. Still, it won't even be in the same class as the Predator, Z-400, 400EX, Raptor, DS650 (well, maybe the weight) or the Cannondale. Looks like a nice machine, though. It comes in Orange, so I might not have to get new riding gear. I'd be interested to see how well it does in the GNCC Utility Stock and Modified classes.
