| ronnie,i know its a hard decision,but you have already put alot of time and money in the rhino and,yes the rzr's are alot of fun but it aint worth selling the rhino for 8 or 9k then pulling out another 5k on an "S" ,model or 2k on a standard/LE,then putting 800$ in tires and wheels,and another 2k in mods on the rzr............just keep what ya got for now,then in late august 10' trade and get ya the rzr killer-made by yamaha | |

| I doubt Yamaha is going to make a "RZR killer". I don't think anyone out there is even in the same league right now (talking stock machines). The RZR is by far the best trail machine, IMO. And that is not a knock on any other machines. From what I have seen this year (all things considered) nothing touches the RZR. Not trying to start any crap with anyone. I like all the machines. I am just saying when I was driving the Rhino and then jumped in two or three RZR out on the trail, it was apparent to me that if I wanted to gain the power and sportiness I was looking for, I was going to have to have a RZR. Don't get me wrong......I LOVE the Rhino, especially with the power steering. BUT, Yamaha will have to go back to the drawing board to make something to compete with the RZR. First and foremost, the Rhino is extremely heavy. You pair that weight with a single cylinder engine and rigid suspension.........well, you connect the dots. Again, not bashing any brand.....just giving my opinion. | |

| yamaha was skeered to even release there 4 door the developed, so dont look for anything outstanding from them, they are gun shy from being sued so many times.
And no shame in buying a regular rzr, set it up right and its as good as a s for trail riding. I would have put my le up against a s any day except flat out top end running. | |

Smith, I doubt it too. They do not have a 750 or a 800 twin in any of there bikes. They would have to make an engine and that probably will not happen. They do have a 650 and a 950 twin I think. But they are in their road bikes. They do not have a twin in any off road machine..... yet. | |

But they are in their road bikes. They do not have a twin in any off road machine..... yet. They have 2, 3, and 4 cylinder BADA$$ 4 stroke snomobile engines! Look at some of those HP numbers, they have the engines/technology they just have to make them fit and not get sued. There 2 cylinder 499cc pumps out over 80HP | |
