Interesting about the transmission vs CVT. Good to know!

Nice to see they compared it to a 4 year old machine... Yamaha is still missing the mark!

I like that Yamaha is now trying to compete, but really still only a 700cc? And they talk about the Viking being better cause its longer, wider, and (i think) taller. They still dont get it, the rhino's size wasn't the problem, imo. Most i have ever talked to about it and myself, complained because of the lack in power. Also for us with kids and needing a mchine for the farm, the bench seat as seen in the polaris is pretty nice. Those 2 things were what pushed me and my wife to get the polaris ranger. Which is junk, and if yamaha can put some big power in the viking, the ranger will be off to a new home! Good video though they have some really good idea's, i hope they continue to be competive in this market and listen to the consumer to make a real winner over the polaris and can am.

I would think the Polaris 570 would seem under powered for a SXS. Also they dont have a good track record with their CVT clutch system. Yamaha has the best CVT on the market. The Viking has the roomiest cab in its class. How do you plan on using it?
