LMBO!!I like how they have the link to the release today on their website already and all that it shows so far is a flat green field. Maybe the new sxs will be able to drive over 3 rows of crops a time instead of 2.
NEW Yamaha Sport Side X Side?
- Thread starter BrArmor
- Start date
Well it doesn't look like a new sport model this year... damn...
A 6 seater Yamaha Viking but same little motor?

Bad intel is bad intel... no sport model, no single seater and no bigger engine. Sorry guys.. its why I hate rumors about new machines, everyone gets their hopes up. Either way the new Viking 6 is a great machine if you need a big utility vehicle that rides great and fits 6 guys comfortably.
Sorry for the delay guys.. I am in Baja at a coffee shop working hard for ya, I was about 15 minutes late.. I know I know, not my style..
yawn......

Not exactly what we were hoping for on the west coast, but I hope they have the sport next! haha
Baja look snice right now Joey, have fun and good luck.

way to disappoint Yamaha. the Viking cant get out of its own way as it is. add 3 more people and you might as well have released a 6 seat golf cart. have a feeling a sport model from Yamaha will be a huge let down as well. probably just a Viking with some aftermarket shocks. loloh on a brighter note at least when it does get high centered or stuck. you will have enough people with you to push!!! lol.
I don't understand why they still use the same little rhino motor? They must have a ton of them in stock and need to get them out before they kill the sales on these models with a sport model.
I really hope they don't disappoint everyone on the sport model and I doubt they will.
I think all the OEMs need to get in the sport side so racers have more options... lol ;-)

I'd like to throw my .2 in here while I have a couple of minutes of free time....
1. I was at the intro because I am ABOUT.COM's ATV/UTV Expert, so I contribute quite a bit of content each month - I'm expecting I'll be at a number of intros for anything that has 4 wheels when I'm not at the races - lol!
2. The Viking actually surpassed all of Yamaha's sales goals, etc....it's been a very successful model for them for the demographic they targeted. I have been using the crap out of mine, and it's a great, durable, useful machine for utility stuff.
3. Given the success of the Viking, it only makes sense that Yamaha would make a 6-seater (which has its own niche market for businesses, ranchers, etc) while they have everything tooled up for Viking production.
4. I like big motors, too, but even fully loaded with 6 butts in the seats, the Viking VI has plenty of low end torque with the 700 and it didn't feel like it was even trying pulling a full load up the hills we were on. So, considering it's a utility vehicle for work, and for hauling passengers, I guess there really is no need to make it rediculously fast.
5. I'm waiting for a sport machine from Yamaha, too......and with their promise to release a new machine every year for 5 years, I'm sure we will see one. Given the amount of time that Yamaha has taken to come out with something for us racer types, I'm going to assume it's going to be pretty freakin' awesome when it does drop.
Carry on! But just remember, the sport UTV market isn't the biggest market, even though it totally should be! And I totally agree with you BrArmor! More options!!
