When we first laid eyes on Yamaha's new Wolverine X4, we thought it looked a lot like the Kawasaki T4. We wanted to take a quick look at the specs of these two machines and see exactly how they compare by the numbers. There are a couple physical differences you will notice first off. The Wolverine is a convertible machine which means you have to remove or stow seats to get full cargo capabilities and you do not with the T4.
