Hope your right Pate....

I own a few different quads and have had 2 sxs's , It would be hard for me to buy another Polaris, I like my Can Am, but if this Yamaha is what it appears to be, I will have one.  I really don't  understand the bashing of brands, it seems to happen alot, I heard some of the comments the first time I rode with some of the people on this forum,  but it seemed kind of funny at the time, now it's just old.

It is all in fun, like Bush says, except where the FORD owners are GAY!!!!!!!!! Just look at the FORD owner on our star front page pic. Well guess I can't say that, he has a pretty lady he is married to. Sorry Joe, Chad told me to say that!!

Just because he's married doesn't mean he can't be gay. Just look at Caitlyn!

So Jim, you seem to be pretty certain about this new buggy, may I ask how you know so much?

Yeah it's all in fun. It's funny how things have change over the years. At one point this forum was about 90% Rhino's and they bashed the poor little RZR guys to death. Funny how things change.

I doubt they will make RZR's obsolete Pate. I find it hard to believe they will have anything close to 144HP. At best it will be 120ish. Don't get me wrong that would be great for me. But obsolete, I doubt it......... However, they will definitely bring quality back into the game.

Competition is GOOD, make everybody do their very best.

Glad I can be the source of amusement for us all, at least I'm not earing a bikini and wig like one of other members

Okay, this is what I am hearing. Front engine, long travel and it's about 64" wide. The HP will be between 115 and 125. The concept is more like a trophy truck.

This could be cool!!!!!

rumor I saw was the NA motor 135 HP, 17" travel, the AC2 chassis and really good shocks

I heard its going to be made by Yamaha , and go really fast
and be made really well....

Someone videoed Yamaha testing their new machine check out the video.

that thing is neat. i would ride one

It's always exciting when the possibility of a new machine is being released. I just wish they would release another teaser since Polaris has released the turbo rzr.

I bet that would be fun as hell...

Guys, I think we are finally going to be impressed by Yamaha.... Just saying.

I was impressed in 2006 and 2007, maybe a little bit in 08. Then it changed to more depressed and now it is what should I do besides wait!!

Some guy at rzr.net said he talked to a Yamaha rep and said it
was going to be 133 hp and some special transmission.
he would not tell him more than that...

Looks like 14" wheels. 27" Bighorns on it. A 98" wheelbase.

Why does every company Arch the damn cage so high in the rear.
it looks like shit , and everyone always changes the cage.
If they would build it right , you would not have to...

I do like the wheels though..

My prediction by the picture is. It will have a chassis like a Wildcat with similar body work. But a yamaha engine and drivetrain. And yahmaha will put their own tweeks on the suspension performance and the fit and finish.  but only yamaha really knows.

Everyone act like the motor was going to be in the front.
I think this picture proves that its not. maybe mid engine...

My Maverick.
