The 90-degree 749cc V-twin engine is the largest, most powerful engine in its class
Positioned mid-ship for optimum front/rear balance - good for power slides and cornering control
Straight intake tracts and 34mm downdraft carburetors enhance power delivery throughout the rpm range
Radiator is compact and placed high in the chassis for better protection against mud and debris
Ducts located by the cargo bed direct cooling air to the engine
Aluminum cylinders are Electrofusion-plated for light weight, long wear and excellent heat dispersion
Engine can be started in any gear when the rear brake is applied
Electronically controlled Kawasaki Engine Brake Control helps to slow the RSV when traversing steep down hills
CVT features high and low ranges, plus reverse
Combined with the engine power characteristics, provides instantaneous acceleration
Rider can select two- or four-wheel-drive operation by pressing a button located on the dash
Limited-slip front differential reduces steering effort under normal four-wheel drive operation, while Variable Front Differential Control permits rider to distribute torque equally to left and right front wheels for maximum traction via a hand lever
Rear wheels are locked and always turning together for cornering control
Large-diameter thin-walled tubular steel frame
Only RSV with integrated occupant protection

The specs look pretty darned good, EXCEPTING carburetors! However, the present injection systems also leave something to be desired. The biggest plus is cold weather starting. Does Kawasaki have a constantly tensioned CVT belt as Yamaha, or does it double as a clutch (as in a Polaris)?

It's interesting to me that any corporate entity would let this kind of promotional wording fly when we certainly haven't seen anything approaching these kind of handling descriptions to date.
"So what 'style' were you into before you were 'beyond the limits' of your buddy's machine and rolled that thing....'drift' or 'power grip'???" [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Its the high side barrel roll that happens when the drift style changes to the grip style that gets exciting. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
That description sound like the same text used to describe something in my kids Forza II video game. I wonder if they have the same writer?

I called my Kawasaki Dealer yesterday and asked if there had been any information leaked on the release date of the Teryx. He didn't know and said his Kawasaki Rep didn't know either.
Looks like it's no time soon.... Bummer. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] I'm in the market now but don't want to wait without some kind of date....

It is very disappointing Kawasaki would "leak" information on such a machine, and yet even the dealers have a clue as to an availability date. It must be a marketing tactic to hold potential buyers at bay when the RZR is on the street, and Honda is fairly sure to announce a SxS this week. However, whatever Honda comes out with will also probably not be to the customers before December. If Kawi is smart, they will add EFI before the release date.
