I was looking at getting a new sport/utility ATV, something I can take a passenger along for the ride on. I was comparing the Yamaha Rino against the MAX II or MAX IV 6x6 amphibious vehicles (Max Link). I was wondering if anybody has riden the Rino yet and could share some thoughts at how it handles and the terrain it can tackle compared to a quad like the Grizzly. Also, could you comment on how fast the Rino is. The speed concerns me and this is one of the reasons I am leaning away from the MAX 6x6 vehicles because they only go about 20mph.

the terrain I ride is in Northern, NJ and very rocky, rooty and LOTS of big steap hills. So I would need the Rino to be able to handle just like a standard 4x4 ATV such as the Kodiak or Grizzley. I would love to use it for hunting and for play. Also, if you know anything about how good the bed is on the Rino, and about how big it is that would be helpful. When do they come out into the dealer showrooms by the way?

thanks guys
