We Ride The Teryx4

November 2011 Powersport News

We finally got the chance to ride Kawasaki's new 2012 Teryx4 750 side-by-side. We first alerted you to the unveiling of Kawi's newest side-by-side at its dealer show in Orlando on www.dirttoysmag.com on Oct. 11.

 

Here is the release from that day: http://www.dirttoysmag.com/powersport-news/display.cfm?ID=152

 

After spending a day riding the 2012 Kawasaki Teryx4 750 4x4 EPS at the Brimstone Recreation Area near Huntsville, TN, located in the eastern part of the state.

 

We'll give a full report on our ride impressions of the Teryx4 but to say the least right now, we were impressed. The new side-by-side four-seater really performed well on the tight, twisty trails in the woods of eastern Tennessee.

 

Here are the specs for the 4x4 EPS, one of three models available in the Teryx4. Oh yea, and some pictures, too.
