ronnie your new ride is actually bad azz looking even for a kal- a - sucki

Ya, I was checking out the specs on one of those, at the Kawi website. Those are nice. The wheelbase is only 4 3/4" longer than a XP 2 seater with the advantages of a 4 seater!!!

Yeah that part is cool but it only has 7.5 inches of wheel travel. That blows.

That will probably be sufficient for the type of riding you would be doing hauling the family around anyways.
I know if I was hauling my wife / young kids and took them on an extreme trail, I better be wearing a helmet. My wife would be wearing me out!!!

I've been doing research on the T4. It's pretty amazing not to see all the Polaris-type problems. The only real complaint i've seen is the weak floor. No busted diffs, squeaky bushings, broke axles, reverse-chains, fires, ect. I do relize the Poo-Poos are probably out there at least 8 to 1 , but dang. It's a solid machine. I may have something for-sale soon....

Got the call today mines just left the warehouse!!!!!!

Pate, this is my fourth SxS. One Yamaha, two Polaris's and now one Kawasaki. This Kawasaki is the best looking (build wise) of all of them. It is a damn shame that don't build a sport SxS.

If they would come out with a 900+ with the t4 style motor, they would steal the show.

No doubt. The fit and finish is very nice too. I ALMOST don't want to hit the woods with it.......... It is to nice.

I don't notice the lack of travel myself, you make unconcious adjustments in your driving style to accomodate the machine, and I think the Kawasaki's have more positives than negatives, glad you have one now you're a real KAW-Boy!!!

The picture I just saw of it was him and marty sitting in the back both with big smiles on their faces........

How much higher is the center of gravity compared to a rzr? Also how is the power?

we need a complete review Ronnie!

Tuned in...

So as you all know I went on a ride at Blue Holler with the T-4 and I must say that I was impressed.

First of all I had three grown men in the machine. Well maybe I should say full size people because there is nothing grown about Catmostfeard and Monk... The four had plenty of room for the person in the back. Also it had plenty of power to pull us around. I never felt like there was a lack of power. I even hit a few hill climbs. The ride quality was very nice, maybe a little on the stiff side. I plan on visiting Smoothride for some shock work to fix that.

That night we hit some more trails around my lake cabin. These are trails made for four wheelers. They were tight but the four made it through. The power steering was awesome.

The one and only thing that this machine is missing is wheel travel/ground clearance. On one hill I could not climb was do to bottoming out. It had the power but not the grown clearance. I know, I know 90% of the riders only use 7"s of wheel travel. Well I am not like 90% of the riders. Moreover, it will not hurt the sales of Kawasaki to add more travel to the Rex. Matter of fact, I would say it would only help.

The other thing I don't care for is the limited speed of 50. I know that 750 will easily do more then 50.

So there you have it in a nut shell. It is a good machine and will be great for my family.

I put a gorrilla lift on my wifes and we now have 15.5" of clearance.
Not sure what it will be whenever I get it loaded with 4 people and the cooler. Like Johnny Cash, I went right to the Gorrilla Factory and picked it up for $165 and no tax since I was not a residence of Louisiana.

Well I had no idea you bought one too......

Thanks Ronnie. Been waiting for some real world results. Glad you are pleased with it.
