Yeah, I know it is off the subject a little.......
How many others have bought Yamaha's second best product?

If you have small kids, this might be the best thing you ever buy. 4 seat cage and rear bench are coming soon but it is a lot easier to lead a train of small kids in this with mom watching everyone than on the 700.

I hate side-by-sides ever since the last organized trail ride we went on....they hung up on everthing and bottlenecked the trails really bad. The trails were too much for them. I still get steamed thinking about that day.

My friend just bought one and its a blast. He put in a stereo so we can cruise that thing all day. Throw a cooler full of beer and sandwiches and your set all day. :thumbsup:

I'd get one myself if it wasnt for the price tag.

I had a deposit on a Silver SE but reniged on it. Waiting to see the RZR and hopefully Yamaha will counter with something along those lines.

Yeah, I could see where one might slow the traffic down a bit. We live in the desert where it is wide open and passing is real easy. I don't think I would want to plan a ride with sport quads while I was in the Rhino though. It only took a week for me to what was necessary to make it run 60mph with two people in it. I played with the piggyback shocks and got it just right for running through the desert at 45 or so. This thing amazes me everytime I take it off road.
It is street legal so mommah runs her errands in it. She can fit a weeks worth of groceries in the back of it and the mileage is better than my truck around town (18mpg).
With the stock tires aired down, I went everywhere in the dunes that my 700 went; just a little slower. I did carry refreshments though!

It would be a blast for that for sure. I have looked at them and thought.....Beer hauler!!!

 

[headingnorth]

I have seen them in Glamis with a large plastic bag lining the bed full of beer and ice. He was also pulling an old lazy boy strapped to two water skiis with a half naked lady kissing another half naked lady. Good times.

 

[Ryans Roostin Raptor]

Yeah....they just don't belong on tight , technical, muddy, rutted trails....that's how it was that day!

I'm hoping that the 08's have the 700FI motor & maybe PS from the Grizz. The new RZR looks promising too, but the back doesn't look to have enough room for back seats. We'll see, I hope to buy something this Fall.

 

[headingnorth]

Yeah, I thought about all that stuff too but in the end; I wanted to have fun now- not next year. My kids are not getting any younger etc., etc. I can come up with excuse after excuse but the truth is, I have no self control. I like toys...........

I got my sport edition about a month ago with 3 very nice beard racing seats and a new full cage w/cooler rack. Kids can't stop screaming while strapped in. I too wanted to wait for FI/700 but couldn't, said F#$% it, loaded up with extras and am having a blast (raptor doesn't work well in 12" snow) Its funny how once you have something, you wonder why you didn't get it sooner That applies more to this rhino than anything I have ever bought. Two friends of mine are both now getting one after taking them for a ride. There is a reason they are so popular. :thumbsup:

[bluebeast]

I could buy a pretty nice 4 or 5 seat sand car for that kind of money! I guess if I had money to burn, why not?

 

[Machy]

my dad got one, it's a blast to drive and has alot of power! also love the ride too, ride is better than any atv i have been on :thumbsup:

 

[onelunglow]

My friend got one and I've driven it. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: I had fun than I expected. Now the wif wants one. :grin_nod: I was hoping the 07's were going to be EFI.

Yup. I thought about the Rhino once I saw them, and before I was committed to the 07 Raptor. The Rhino is going to spearhead a whole new, fun, capable class of offroad vehicles.

Very capable, and for those that don't like the side x side on the trails, keep in mind these are not the typical utility side x side, and they will only get more capable as this end of the market grows. I see a 1500cc unit soon... 8)

But, once I realized just how much freakin' money all the parts, etc, cost, I had an epiphany...I already have an '03 Jeep! :grin_nod:

 

[sparky yfz]

Im waiting for the 700 version to come out. And then I will make it a 804 HAHA and you guys think Im joking just wait.
