My neighbors son purchased a Rzr, and he runs it more like a small framed dune buggie. That thing will fly, don't how long it will last. But, right now, he is something on that thing. I think it's made more for a super play machine.
Myself, wouldn't have any use for one. Not saying it's not a good machine.
I can see it's geared really high. But in my applications. It would be worthless. Can't really haul nothing but your strapped in butt. Cannot cuss a cat without getting hair in your mouth. But, that what some people like. Different strokes for Different Folks !!!!

Me too !!!!! But that's been a long time ago. Now that was a machine !!!
I sold mine . It was either sell it, or give it to the X !!!
That went for ALOT of things at that time of my life. But, as they say, life goes on !!!! Things are better now, but still carry the memories of the odessey ~~~~ Like going end over end one time, boy, was that a trip !!!

a guy has one of them yef or terf dog utv's and he's a really big guy. he takes it hunting and i went and ride to see where he goes and the trails impressed me he rides that thing like a 4 wheeler .lol to be honest i think i would have gottin stuck in that mud with my hpx but he went through it.so i know the chuckwagon would do even better.i think the best thing them utvs got going for them is the weight and the other fact that they are simple they don't have alot of the fancy stuff that the others have and you really don't need it .

Where is everyone getting this $5000 price tag. I haven't seen that listed officially anywhere. If anyone thinks that Honda is going to sell that machine for $5K they are fooling themselves. You can't get a Mule 610 for that price.

Better be prepared for $11K for the Big Red! This my best guess compared to the competition. Butt ugly, but I will wager the engineering and reliability will overcome styling issues. No belt, a true automatic transmission (actually a Rincon engine & drivetrain), EFI, and IRS. Now if they would throw in electric power steering, a lockable differential in the rear, and good instrumentation. Remember, what you see is a "prototype."
I'll second the rear lockable/unlockable differential. That is my second biggest complaint on my Rhino- it will tear the fool out of a lawn if you turn since it isn't a true differential and is always locked.
My biggest Rhino complaint is reverse is way too high, you can head down a steep hill, decide you want to back up it and it won't. Said steep hill is steep enough if you try to turn around you will roll. Really stupid on Yamaha's part. The 2008 is supposed to have a lower reverse but I don't know how much lower. The originals actually have reverse as a higher gear than forward and low range can't be selected in reverse. IMO reverse should always be way lower than forward, I don't need to do 40 in reverse but I sure do need to back up hills sometimes and 10 in reverse would be plenty.
