Had a 1997 Kawasaki Mule KAF 550 ran great 4000 hrs stolen bought an Artic Cat EFI SXS to replace it Artic Cat is faster the throttle is extremely sensitive it has a lot of torque steer when you let of the gas at high speed seats are way more comfortable than the mule ground clearance is better than the mule, have owned it long enough for a comparison on reliability overall the Artic Cat has more performance manners and the mule has more grunt manners like comparing a race horse to a mule
