It depends on where you plan to ride. There are some ATV ride areas that do not allow rhino's and other brands of UTV's. I have seen some areas that have size restictions for what is qualified as an ATV. You might check that out befor you buy. I agree with you though if I were buying a 2 seater I would rather it be a Side by side and the Rhino is at the top of my list. I also have been giving some serious thought as to the Ridgerunners also. Rather than sell my Polaris 800 when I get my BRP800, I was thinking of having it made into a Ridgerunner 2 seat buggy with 70 mph performance capability.
