The options are getting greater folks! It will be interesting when all these different models get stacked up! Im gonna have to look at it a little better before I blab out my opinion...

Blab (here I go) Looks a lot like a Rhino... but not as good IMO!
V Twin sounds good to me, but EFI would have made it better. You are right, UTV market should get interesting in a hurry!

The 750 v-twin is going to make a lot more power than the 660 Rhino, and its going to sound better when its uncorked as well. It should be able to blow the doors off of a Rhino, so I'm betting these become very popular.

If Kawi uses the same CVT as in their quads they won't be as good in that one area though. Not sure how that handle you pull to engage the front locker is going to work with a steering wheel either :?

I was just at my local dealer and they said that they could order these in Sept and would be getting them right away after that. 8)
