That thing looks awesome! I bought a Kawasaki Teryx4 LE last year, and love it! I heard Yamaha may be coming out with a sports machine, but I didnt want to wait. Plus I wanted 4 seats. My Kawi is perfect for the woods and trails I ride. But, if I was in the desert I'd take that Yamaha over any Polaris or Wildcat anyday.

Stock image, not my machine but exactly the same of course minus my mods. They are VERY fun!

How is this different then the RZR 1000 ? My buddy has 2014 RZR 1000 and it's a blast.

Also, why would you want to shift it, just hit the gas and hold on.

Don't get me wrong, I love Yamaha Products, I just don't like shifting with something like that.

Like a car, who wants to shift? I know, some do, but most don't.

Personally, I wouldn't have an auto anything that is related to powersports. I love rowing thru the gears in the mustang and my atv's. I feel like I have more control when I have to do it myself.

Don't get me wrong, I've loved all our RZRs. I think the competition is going to do a lot for the whole segment. Drive innovation, styling, features, and make everyone compete on price. Polaris is less then stellar when it some to customer service, in a lot of cases I hear the same about Yamaha. This competition should get both of them on their A game. Ehhh at least their C or B game I hope.
