Kawasaki 400 Bayou 4x4 Review and Specs

As my 400 Bayou 4x4 project comes to a close, I’ll have to say it’s been rewarding breathing life back into this old Bayou King.  After all its been more than 20 years since the 400 Bayou was born and these ATV’s really were one of the boldest offerings of the time.  Having completed my goal of bringing information to folks on this old friend, I’ll leave you with my final video review of the Kawasaki 400 Bayou 4×4.
