Has anyone talked to a reliable dealer about detailed specifications and a release date?

A specific stock width, length and turning radius would sure go a long ways in determining where this machine can be driven..............

 

whats so big about the rhino why would someone want one? I just dont understand i guess. Are they amphibias?

 

They would probably want one for hunting, or work, or trail riding.....just what the advertisements say. No they arent "amphibias"

 

with listed specs, one could compare to a ranger, mule, or polaris apt, grizzly, sportsman, prarie, etc..
a lot to be said for a smaller machine that seats 2, but perkier than the standard offerings
in the mule/gator/ranger type class. I got a quad becuase I wanted to be able to
go through tighter spots & haul it in the back of the truck, sometimes it is not in
my best interests to haul a trailer around all the time..
but with the way mine is set up, it has 5' pvc tubes on it to haul stuff.. so the witdh has grown

still a good option for a lot of folks, for hunting, carring passengers, and some equipment,
myself, I'm glad to see it..
here is a link that will get specs, rhino home page

 

I heard from my dealer they would be coming out in October, with a top speed of 35mph, but could be toyed with to get the speed up. Haven't heard any other news about specs.

 

Thanks Surveyor and others; I missed the "side by side" designation on the Yamaha website where this info is found.

Looks like you'll need about 3 more feet to turn around than on a Grizzly and it will fit pretty nicely in a 5' wide trailer.

I'm impressed with most everything I see of this machine and look it as a way for the more 'senior' members of our family to enjoy some of the places where we already go. It's very hard to guage a new rider's progress when you're eating their dust and worried about a head-on from some idiot................put them in back and you have no idea how they are doing (radio or not).

Anybody who claims that having a companion by your side is not better than riding alone?......................must be married! (lol) [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

35 mph seems a nlittle slow. I think the ranger is around 40.

 

There are lots of reasons why some people would want this thing. Not every one Races or searches for the biggest baddest mud whole. Dont get me wrong those things are fun, however Some people need a vehicle to get them to the deer stand and back (Maybe even haul the deer out, or bring seed or feed to the stand). Some have children that we would like to (safely) bring with us everytime we go into the woods and side by side seating is ideal.

The Rhino in some ways will be better than the Ranger and mule. Independant Suspension. Locking front Diff [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Have fun guys on the 4th.
