gonna put a V-twin in the Ute line-up?

I think........(gets me in trouble every time) as good as the new Grizzly 700 EFI is, they could have done so much better by trumping the other twins out there?

Who is with me on this? Who wants a V-twin Rhino offered as well?

Personally, I prefer big singles. Fewer parts, lighter weight, smaller/more compact package, better potential reliability (not to say the V's are unreliable). Just my 2 cents...

Im with you Yamaha is my favorite brand but I got a brute cause I wanted the monster torque! I had a kodiak 450 and when I would jump on a friends 660 grizz i would think HOLY $#!% now when i go from my 750 brute to his 660 grizz Im thinkin this is no comparison! I want an 800 V-twin Grizz,, So does my friend with the 660...

With the size and weight of the Rhino Yamaha should use the Aztec snomobile engine. It is an in-line four cylinder that already has a CVT transmission, and the CVT belt is even on the same side as the Rhino CVT belt. The Aztec's in-line four is more or less an R-1 street bike engine that makes well over a hundred horsepower. Sorry, but a 700 Rhino is going to be a great big yawn. The 700 isn't enough faster than the 660 to improve performance very much on the Rhino. Polaris already has a 800 class sport UTV in the works, so a 700 Rhino wouldn't even catch up with whats already available.

I like the big singles, I have a 660 grizzly. Singles are like a tractor man once they start winding up they'll start relling in those V twins. Race some stock 660 grizzlys against 650 praires the V twin takes it at the start but then passes it by.

I want to take my 660 and install raptor head, carbs, clutch it and then go lookin for you guys with V twins.
