Some nice upgrades like the new display and finally including LED's, but wow not really a wow factor in the design department (Polaris). Also, for a new design, why are they using the same wheels they have been using forever? Great opportunity to flip the market with such a solid machine, but instead I feel the took the safe mild approach.
Kawasaki doesn't have the capital to invest in a new quad. It is the same bruteforce with new plastics and lighting. Loan them the money for the investment if you have it. SxS sell. Quads not so much. Return on investment wouldn't be high enough.
@@normanhaney583 Yes, CFMoto is a completely different story. They don't need to invest as much as they steal IP and reverse engineer or copy everything. They also do everything in China, which is a lot less capital intensive. This company is also investing while growing. Kawasaki, like Suzuki, are in a more precarious position.
Why invest in a slowly dying market? Next time your up in the mountains count how many 1000cc quads you find. For me the number is 0. Everyone is buying side by sides, several with 1000ccs.
Very welcome changes, but I Know everyone would kill for a 975cc vtwin, something larger and fresh. I'm most likely going to pick one up, cant decide if I should trade my '20 camo bruteforce in for one or if i should keep it
I would keep your 20, it's basically the same machine as yours, same motor and same suspension and shocks. New plastics, third headlight and a fancier gauge is really the only difference from yours.
@@thomaslee6894 ehh idk I just got a 2023 sportsman ultimate trail 850. I got a custom tune on it and it is rowdy. Stands up anywhere. Runs away from outlander 850s too
Looks like a mix of a sportsman and foreman

Love the new Brute
Still has the Despicable 4wd lever. I thought you said Kawasaki was listening. Sounds like it.
Honestly that lever is great. People don’t understand it and use it wrong is the problem
Nice, but I will keep my 2017 Brute I have until they release the Brute Force 1000.
I have a 17 also.
When kawa gonna stop playing games and come out with a 1000
Why does it need a 1000?

@@TheFixer-rq9tj someone forgot to tell CFmoto. Have you seen their new 1000 atv?

2023 looks better. This looks like a wanna be Polaris Sportsman.
But more reliable
95% the same as the 2023
❤❤❤❤❤
Agreed!

Get a Polaris.
@@bikingwithryan5968 but the parallel twins are so boring! I love the enthusiasm of a vtwin

@@bikingwithryan5968 Some of us want our ATV's to stay out of the shop for more than a month.
Need a 1000
When will these hit dealers?
