Kawasaki Prairie 700 Price, Specs and Review 2023

Contents

Team Radhe introduced the Kawasaki Prairie 700 halfway through Prairie manufacture. This 4×4 improved the series’ sport-utility sub-segment position with V ForceTM-inspired features and a strong engine. The Prairie’s limited manufacturing run sparked much speculation among Kawie fans and mainstream customers.

The Prairie 650, sometimes known as the “King of Firsts,” has been updated as the Kawasaki Prairie 700, a big-bore sport-utility quad. It deservedly acquired the title of “The New King of 4x4s” thanks to its tough appearance, industry-leading features, and the same potent 697-cm3 V-Twin engine.

The Kawasaki Prairie 700 boasts huge 30-mm intake/26-mm exhaust valves, a high-quality foam air filter, and twin Keihin CVKR-D32 downdraft carburetors like its smaller sister. This arrangement improves the throttle response, fuel efficiency, and torque-heavy character of the 4×4. When riding over 1,640 feet, the quad’s jetting needs be adjusted as it doesn’t have fuel injection.

Now, let’s find out the Kawasaki Prairie 700 Price, Parts Specs, Reviews, & Images.
