I currently ride a wolverine and have decided that I want a auto and push button fourwheel drive. I have narrowed it down to the kodiak 450 the kawasaki 360 or the kawasaki 650. I like the size of the kodiak over the kawasakis but wonder if I should go the more horsepower route of the 650 and then there is the price of the 360 . I do mostly trail riding does anybody have any thoughts?

 

I bought a 360 last March and just traded it for a 650. My 360 happened to be a lemon. But when it worked it was pretty good. I liked all of the features, but the power really wasn't there. It's so heavy for it's displacement. You're Wolverine is sparkier than the 360.

The 650...WOW. Awesome machine. I suppose it would depend on what kind of trail riding you do. How impressed are you with power, speed and ability? If those aren't huge factors and price is, the 360 is alright. But again, the 650--it wins races and goes everywhere. I don't think you would be dissapointed if you spent the money.

I won't speak about the Kodiak as I don't have a whole lot of experience with them.

 

Hey ironhead what do you think of your wolverine?

 

I really like my wolverine it handles really good. It probably steers the best of all the full time 4wd atvs. The biggest thing that I dont like is it lacks low end big time it really needs to be geared lower but it does have plenty of topend. I just picked up 650 last tues and man does it have the power. This is my first kawasaki i hope mechanically it is as good as a yamaha.

 

The only problem my riding bud's had was leaking antifreeze, which was just a hose not being hooked up. Let's face it they all have their flaws...............................But i wish you the best of luck with the new p650. They realy pull hard!!

 

Get the P-650. A lot of bike for a reasonable price. I just saw an ad for new '03 P-650's, OUT THE DOOR, $6099.00 plus any applicable taxes!

 

If you can afford it go with the 650 sometimes you can find really good deals on them...but also the 360 is a great bike I absolutely love mine! I've never owned a Yamaha I'm sure their great and all but I'm just a Kawie kind of guy!

 

I found a dealer that would sell me a camaflouge 650 out the door for $6335 that pretty much made my mind up. I have had it about 4 weeks now I love it. The power is awesome.

 

That sounds like a pretty good price for Camo one. Tell him to throw in a service manual and hitch, see what he says. Hitch is $30.00, so is the manual(I think).
Good luck, maybe I'll see you on the Hatfield/McCoy Trails.

 

get the p650... helluva machine and really the same price as the kodiak. I had a kodiak and loved it but the 650 will do a lot more...
