You'll love it!! Just sold my Rhino last year and miss it bad. I had 27" tires and a JBS sheave.....that thing was very nice. Before that I had the 750 Brute Force modded to death and it was wicked fast. She sat on 14" rims and 27" tires. 71mph with my big ass on it.

That is bada$$ for sure.

Trent, when looking for a utv, how much concern did you have for staying under the 50" wide trail regulations that apply in some areas? I know the viking is greater than 50" so I figure you don't go anywhere with those trail restrictions or you have another ride.

I read a few things about the restrictions on width but as far as I know there are no restrictions in Nv so it really wasn't a concern for me.

What I don't like about the Polaris machines is the "On Demand" 4wd, it activates when it senses tire slippage? I much prefer the 4wd system that our machines have IKIC, 4wd when you need it and a diff lock. Mine is a SE and has the reservoir shocks and other options. You're gonna love that Viking! What size engine is in the Viking?

It's a redesigned 700cc that was in the Rhino.

Ya the locking dif for me on the Yamaha is one the the best things I like about yamaha.

Here it is. I had to sell some stuff and pay a few things off before the wife said yes. But I picked the Yamaha Viking up on Fri. I was able to get all the mods on by today and now I'm ready to give it hell. Now we just need some snow and cold temps so I can go find a lion to put in the bed for the ride out.


28" ITP swamp lite tires
Aluminum wheels
3500 lb winch with remote
Vented windshield
22" led light bar

Waiting for the Cab Encloser to come in
Heater will be next if it actually gets cold this winter
Very nice im sure that is going to put to good use........looks a lite out of place in the driveway though. Looks better out on the trail
