I purchased one about two weeks ago. Sold my 2004 RTV900 and bought new model. A lot of nice new features. The drive shaft is much heavier and no rattling like the old one. Longer wheel base makes the ride much better. More power and comes with more standard features like the dump bed, speedometer, and brush guard. Larger battery with more amps. The front and rear receiver hitch now take a standard 2 inch receiver. All the U joints have grease fitting so they should last longer than the old style. The dump bed raise very fast. The coast valve solves the quick stops like the old models except when you are backing up. They moved the raidiator and air filter location to under the rear seat. Seat belt retractors come standard.
The front ROPS bars are straight so the windshiels and tops that fit the old models won't fit this model. Tops, windshields and other accesories are in short supply. Have to wait 2-3 weeks to get a top and Kubota emailed me 2-3 monts before a glass windshield is available. Polycarbonate may be sooner.
