Kawasaki's new sport KRF1000AL will have 112HP!

[Hondasxs]

Kawasaki will enter the Sport game with their new unit. The KRF1000AL.

Carb specs released confirm this.
999cc
112HP

It's great to see other companies up their game to out perform Honda.

But weighing in at 2314 lbs there will be no question on who gets outperformed!

Here is a quick look to what we may see.

2300lbs is probably GVWR not curb weight

 

[clifforeilly]

That’s AWSOME!!! Have a dealer 2 miles away. Kawi has had nothing for me !!! Now , maybe now !!!

2300lbs is probably GVWR not curb weight

Makes sense, 300 lbs bed capacity, 2 x 250 lbs occupants = 1500 lbs curb (wet) weight ballpark.

CVT?

 

[JACKAL]

CVT?

That's what is listed on the CARB paperwork.

Mostly excited for the local dealer . Just a small family owned business and only sell one brand of atvs and sxs . Kawasaki. Wish there were more brand loyal dealers to buy from like there used to be .

Looks big . If that’s it .

Never mind , I was reading cvt but my mind was saying dct. Boring , got all excited for nothing. Still good for my local dealer, just not for me . I’ll never own a cvt again.

Even with 112HP, the Talon would still walk it due to the CVT.

Hell it's been shown the Talon can walk a RZR 1000 and I've seen it give a turbo a run.

Once the turbo Talon hits the streets, the other guys will be screaming for mercy.

Did it mention # of cylinders?

2314 lbs isn’t light by any means but 112 hp ain’t bad.

Probably GVWR.

Looked to be 50/50 from all the vids ive saw. Really depends on who launches first and traction. Mo hp / Mo problems lol.

 

[clifforeilly]

3 cylinders would be cool

I had a couple Yamaha Apex snowmobiles with the 4 cylinder, last one was 165 HP,

Yamaha, PLEASE put that motor in a SXS !!!!!
