Sounds like needless complexity, and of course it will drive up the price!
Have all these lard a$$ utilities gotten so huge and heavy, that they now need power steering??? Freaking hillarious!

nope but on machines Like the Rincon it will increase the ability to traverse rougher terrain at higher speeds. Think about it..........Sport Bikes have steering dampers!!!!!

Hate to be coming up to a sharp turn, only to find the EPS has gone out.
The steering damper could be used on the utility models, don't know if someone makes them for that or not. Doesn't make a quad easier to turn, just easier to handle over rough terrain.

Well, at least they will easier to parallel park. My old truck didn't have power steering and it was a pain to parallel park.

ah yes, much too complicated like CDI instead of points, EFI instead of carb, and GPS among other advances. Heck, we should all just ride horses that know the way home.
and whimpy like having power steering on a Cup car, dump truck, and your turbo diesel pick-up (oops, they all have power steering!!)
with all the whining by the frail ATVers, I'm not surprised to see it. As weight helps utility quads during some chores this might just become popular on the heavy ones. I might even need it someday.
Given Honda and Yamaha have developed it, I give it a better chance of working the first time than if the Gods of ATV Invention came up with it (over at that other manufacturer that claims to have invented 99% of the modern ATV).
