THAT IS GREAT NEWS. SEE YOU THEN.
Re: 2012 Kawasaki Teryx 4 OFFICIAL RELEASE **UTVUnderground Exclusive
this is not a sport UTV per-se, however it can be made into one. Kawasaki is focused on a VERY LARGE part of the market with this unit and that is the adventure seeking trail rider. With a few mods like suspension and performance it can easily be turned into a "sport" UTV. Just because Polaris and Arctic Cat introduce some sick sport UTV's doesn't mean thats the goal of every manufacturer out there.
While I would love and do really want Kawi to go big with motor and suspension I, like always see a new platform from any manufacturer as a good thing. One thing I learned today is all sales of power-sports are down for Kawi despite remaining #1 in the power-sports business when it comes to motorcycles and ATV's. BUT UTV sales are UP! And Kawasaki anticipates by next year that UTV sales will surpass ATV sales! So UTV's are going to remain a focus for Kawasaki. Hang tight.....

Re: 2012 Kawasaki Teryx 4 OFFICIAL RELEASE **UTVUnderground Exclusive
I like it, but they missed the mark on wheel travel and shocks. The Teryx motor already pulls better than the RZR 800 motor so a 20% increase should still be able to beat a RZR even though the car weighs more.
RZR4's use dry weight at 1255lbs
Teryx4 is curb weight(wet) at 1624 lbs.
A RZR4 is going to be a min 1325 lbs. wet.
So the Teryx4 is about 300lbs heavier than the RZR4 which is about the same difference as a RZR-S and a Teryx.
I can tell you my Teryx with a pipe and clutch kit is faster in a drag race than a RZR-S with a pipe even though I am at least 500lbs heavier due to all the crap I've added. (stereo w two amps sub, suspension seats, lights, two 1200 batteries, stock wieght diff, pluss I am 250lbs. ect.)
I still think it has a great engine which IMO is way superior to that cow stuck in a fence that Popo uses.
It's $1000 cheaper than a RZR-4 but your going to need $1500 in shocks, it comes with doors so that saves a $1000 over the RZR-4.
I think its a wash between the two and people now have a choice of two evenly divided machines. If I had to make the choice today I would pick the Kawi. I think it will last many years more than the Polaris because it is built way more rugged.

Re: 2012 Kawasaki Teryx 4 OFFICIAL RELEASE **UTVUnderground Exclusive
To me this machine is aimed at all the people putting 4-seat cages and seats in the bed of their Rhinos and Teryx's. The wheelbase is only about 8-10 inches longer than a Rhino or Rex, but now you get all 4 people in between the "axles".
It seemed most people were dissapointed when the RZR XP was only a 900, then people realized how efficient the power was.
I'm hoping this is the same with the T-4. With only a minimal power upgrade lets hope with the clutch design we'll get more "power" to the wheels. The main thing I wish for is more travel.

Re: 2012 Kawasaki Teryx 4 OFFICIAL RELEASE **UTVUnderground Exclusive
I would say stock for stock the "S" powered rzr4 will win on asphalt over the trex-4.
the plain 800 has much less power than the S.
seems to me that thay hit a decent mark, going against the Rgr Crew and possibly the canned ham 4 seater (here/coming?), I don't see them going to a "Sport" version yet, it took them 4 years to go up against the rhino
way to keep us informed again JoeyD.

Re: 2012 Kawasaki Teryx 4 OFFICIAL RELEASE **UTVUnderground Exclusive
Going to take more than $1500 in replacement shocks....going to need a full kit with arms and axles to compete against a RZR4 in the whoops. You're looking at 4-5k easy.

Re: 2012 Kawasaki Teryx 4 OFFICIAL RELEASE **UTVUnderground Exclusive
I'm gonna have to disagree with most Although I'm a Polaris man, I beleive Kawi hit the mark with the T-4. It's got good bang for the buck and you have to admit that atleast the cage is better looking than any cage that PoPo has ever produced
Another key thing to remember from a business point of view is that those of us in the "Sport" side of the SXS market are small in numbers! In fact if you read Joey's write up on the new RZR 570, Polaris sells more RZR 800 50" models then all others put together So again from the business side of things, you have to appeal to the mass'es and we the "Sport" peeps are not in there! Good thing is that they do think about us, we're just not their first priority

I AGREE, BUT IF THE TERYX 4 IS SUPPOSED TO COMPETE WITH THE RANGER CREW IT HAS AN AWEFULLY SMALL BED. MORE LIKE THE RZR 4.I'm gonna have to disagree with most

Re: 2012 Kawasaki Teryx 4 OFFICIAL RELEASE **UTVUnderground Exclusive
Kawasaki missed the mark on this one. It's a tweener! To small to compete against the Ranger and to utility to compete with the RZR4. I was so excited to see this new machine before I proceeded with my teryx 4 build. Now I'm just excited about my design. Kawasaki basically made a seats in the bed 4 seater like everyone has been doing for quite some time. Not exciting!

Re: 2012 Kawasaki Teryx 4 OFFICIAL RELEASE **UTVUnderground Exclusive
The major difference is now all passengers are in bewteen the axles. With a Muzzy, MSD and LT this thing will rock.
Aren't we doing most of these mods to our Teryx's anyways?
