Team Green's lineup continues to impress. Kawasaki took its staggeringly powerful Prairie 650 V-twin 4x4 and bumped it up to a 700. The cost-only a hundred bucks more than last year's model. Hey, we'll gladly pay an extra C-note for an extra 50cc! The KFX700 is another standout model for green. This year the highly popular machine gets an interesting graphic treatment: Lava red and Matrix Carbon limited-edition finishes will help this big-bore sportster stand out even further from the crowd. The KFX400 returns this year, as do many longstanding Kawi favorites (15 models in all).
