I just saw a TV ad for the new Rhino 700 FI. What the hell? I thought that wasn't coming for another year or so. Maybe I am just out of the loop or something. Anyone have one ordered?

I think its actually a 686cc with EFI. Doesn't seem like a large enough difference for most people to make a change. Now, if it was an 800EFI than that might be a little different.

From the 660 Raptor to the 700(686) was a world of a difference!
Went to a four valve head, instead of five. Alot more torque at lower RPM, hopefully the Rhino feels the same.
Oh yah IvanDan, I had seen your thread on race-dezert got deleted like mine
New for 2008:
* All-new 686cc engine puts out plenty of broadband power. New four-valve head with 9.2:1 compression bumps power and efficiency.
* Electronic fuel injection ensures peak performance in nearly all conditions and elevations, along with instantaneous cold starts.
* New injection-molded sun top and front/rear overfenders.
* Tough, blow-molded doors keep mud, water and dirt on the trail where they belong.
* Cool, comfortable sport-style steering wheel and new passenger grab handles.
* Now with two cup holders for even greater creature comfort.
* New underhood tool-free air filter is a snap to service.
* CV joint protectors for long, trouble-free life.

True, but as pw Tony said, that 686 runs a whole lot better than the 660. I had a 700 raptor and that thing was mean.
I mainly just want the fuel injection. Now living at altitude, carb adjustments suck.
I would buy the Kawi if it was fuel injected. We have a quad with that v-twin in it and that engine is bad ass.
they received four wheel disc brakes this yr also right?? thought I read that as well. The EFI will be a huge bonus, from the cold blooded starting issues, to take it any where without carb adjustments. BUT even with all that... I want to check out the new Kawasaki.

The engines in both the 660 and 700 Rhinos are out of the Grizzly not the Raptor. They're tuned a bit different.
Having said that, the 700FI is well worth it and quite a bit quieter.
Now go buy one!

I was using the raptors as comparison. You are right, the 700 is out of the griz.
