FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ALL-TERRAIN VEHICLES
NOT JUST
FOR FUN ANYMORE
All-terrain vehicles, or ATVs,
have grown up. They've shed the
frivolity of a playful youth for the seriousness of working adulthood. Once, they were purchased mainly for
recreation; now, they are purchased mainly for utility, with recreation being a
useful bonus.
The 1995 Kawasaki ATV lineup
reflects this trend with four Bayou workhorses, the sporting Mojave, and an
all-new in-between model called the Lakota.
Farmers and ranchers have found
all-terrain vehicles invaluable in tending to their fields, helping to make
quick work of the daily chores.
Around construction sites, ATVs are often indispensable in tackling
ungraded terrain and maneuvering in cluttered quarters. Around ball parks, race tracks, and
city parks, or just about anywhere a small, powerful, reliable vehicle is
needed to do the chores, all-terrain vehicles prove their mettle every day.
Kawasaki's Bayou line of all-terrain vehicles represents a complete range of
tough, reliable workhorses, each with its own special solution to everyday
chores. Four models-- the Bayou
220, Bayou 300, Bayou 300 4x4, and the Bayou 400 4x4 -- answer the needs of
farmers, outdoor recreationists, field workers, and countless others, each in
their own special way.
Selling for between $3,000 and
$6,000, these four-wheeled vehicles can plow snow, tow seed spreaders and earth
tillers, and haul hay bales on their cargo racks. Some models, like the Kawasaki Bayou 300 4x4 and Bayou 400
4x4, are equipped with full-time four-wheel drive for added traction.
These popular ATVs also feature
limited-slip front differentials to provide easier steering and optimum
traction under all conditions. If one driving tire sinks into a muddy rut while
the other remains on a dry surface, a regular differential routes all the drive
torque to the wheel without traction, while the wheel with grip gets none. Kawasaki incorporates a clutch on each
axle that slips at a preset torque so the wheel with traction will always
receive driving power. It all
happens automatically.
The heavy-duty Kawasaki Bayou
400 4x4 boasts an 1,100 pound towing capacity and a 242 pound cargo capacity,
making it a real workhorse.
And just because these
utilitarian ATVs are designed for heavy work, that doesn't mean they're not fun
around the barnyard. With electric
starting and ignition systems, five-speed transmissions and automatic clutches,
these machines are easy to own, easy to ride, and easy on the wallet when
maintenance chores call.
A wide range of accessories
from Kawasaki helps tailor these ATVs to the job. Owners can equip their Bayou 300 4x4 or Bayou 400 4x4 with a
winch, worklight, gun case, or windshield. Additional accessories include loading ramps, headlight and
tail light guards, speedometers, and radiator guards. The whole Bayou lineup is
equipped with standard front and rear cargo racks.
Bridging the gap between these
standard workhorses and the fully sporting Mojave is the all-new Lakota.
Basically, a 300cc utility motor shoehorned into a Mojave chassis, and
outfitted with standard racks, the Lakota is more than ready for play when the workday
is over.
Whether it's helping around the
farm, running errands for event organizers, hauling material to the job site,
or wandering the wilds just for the fun of it, Kawasaki's lineup of Bayou,
Lakota and Mojave all-terrain vehicles are ready for action.
