I have a Prairie 700, and there's lots of discussion on the Kawi forum. I don't ever see anything here about the Suzuki version.

 

The zuki version is still pretty fresh and I don't see as many of them at the dealers either. Could be the color choices and that plastic front bumper are driving people to the Kaw.

 

Saw one on the road today, but that's about it. I kind of like the blue color. I'm waiting for the king quad suzuki's coming out with.

 

The only difference in the bumpers is the color and the two black plastic covers out on the sides of the susuki bumper, take the covers off and put a black cap on the end of the pipe, paint it gold and you have a kawi bumper.

I not sure, ever since the twin peaks was anounced it seems alot of suki guys are put out with it becaus it was a kawi first,

we already know the next big utility gets to be a suki first, so whats the big deal.

personaly I think the suki version of the P700 looks great in the new blue, and the yellows not bad either.

Its like Buik vs Pontiac In my opinion you knock one your knocking the other.

I can't hardley wait to get my new blue Twin peaks I have been waiting since last september.
it should be any day now.

 

I think the ends of the front bumpers are different. I don't think the black plug off the Kaw will fit into the ends on the zuk, They're slash cut. Small diff I know. But I dont like plastic on something thast will be hitting trees and creek banks, and the occasional quad. The plastic cheese slicer they put on the Eiger didn't last very long for me.

 

Buy a WARN bumper..... looks great and works even better.. They have a picture of it on their site www.warn.com

I wanted the TP 700 but wanted a Zuk so I bought the 500 LE Vinson... wished I bought the 700 TP as the 500 is not as good as my prairie 650..

 

Of course not!!!!! And to think,..... the T/P only has a $500 higher MSRP!

 

I have had a sportsman , and a grizz 660 and nothing compares to my kawi 650 , I sold my grizz last fall when I herd about the suki version comming in new colors. I thought I would get mie blue one last week but its still not here yet.

Eiger that 500.00 is not much compared to how much these things cost. heck if you shop around you can by a twin peaks/prarrie for less than the Msrp of a vinson. i am paying 6299.00 otd for mine. You can spend 3 times that 500.00 on mods for the vinson it still wont out perform the twin peaks. If you buy a bike your not sure will perform the way you want it to, it will cost a heck of alot more than the difference in the msrps to correct your mistake. I buy these things pretty good and still loose one to two thousand every time I trade or sell one of the dang things.

 

$6299????!!!!! How do I get there?

The diff between the Eiger and the Vinson is a lot of money, but from the vin to the T/P is so small. I'm sure Kaw will keep the 700 but I wonder if zuki will after its new big thumper comes out.

I have'nt seen any blue ones yet but that yellow hurts my eyes. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

the dealer is is in Bartellsville OKLAHOMA (the first blue one is mine I have had a deposit on it since last october) its do in any day now

I saw the blue ones last time I was in nebraska. They had just started production on them, they look great. they were building alot of the blue ones everybody thought it was going to be a big seller.

I doubt that zuki will drop the peaks because its the solid axle sport/ute in there line up and I am a sure unless they have designed some kind of super IRS the new thumper won't perform like the peaks. Plus think of the time and investment kawi/suki has invested in marketing and minor as they are parts for the peaks. Besides if it sells, they will build it. Look at banshees and other Yamaha's that you would have thought would have died out by now. I still say that IRS EFI you here about in the rumor mill for kawi is a clone of the new king quad.
