Our editor, Kyra, traveled to beautiful New Mexico to test ride Kawasaki's brand-new mid-sized Brute Force 450 at the famous Imus Ranch. We looked for the usual features, such as weight capacity, towing ability, clearance, lighting, and comfort, while performing chores around the property. Hauling hay to feed buffalo, dropping off pellets for the goats, checking trail conditions, and even taking breaks for some fun, like a barrel race and a "hunt" for "wild" boar. If you want to read the full review, check it out here. Otherwise, watch our video recap of the experience and come up with some of your own opinions.
