Since its release yesterday there has been a lot of negative posts and disappointment. I was very disappointed for I was hoping for a another 4 seater similar to teryx4 but more power and better suspension. My question is who here plans to buy a Viking?

I can't imagine anyone one would want the new Viking even if I wanted a farm machine I would rather have a John Deere, ranger, or teryx. And that's coming from a die hard yamaha owner.

I lean more to the utility side of the spectrum even though my hunting and working with the machine days appear to be over. I have a family of 5 and all of the stuff that goes with us on a days ride necessitates the Ranger Crew and the big bed and storage. The Prowler HDX, the Ranger, Cub Cadet, John Deere, Case and the list goes on of machines that already have that market covered. I'd take the Prowler HDX any day over the Viking for a utility machine, bigger bed and better weight capacity. If I'm not mistaken the Cat has adjustable air shocks in the rear too.

Clearly they don't have a bunch or retards running arounds Yamaha running things but I can't think of why those chose this route. To be perfectly honest, I'd rather have the Rhino. I had one and it was a great machine.

I agree. If you are tapping into such a saturated market, you need to be creative. You need a selling point other than a 3-seater... I was very disappointed! At least compete with the power that you can get with the Ranger 900xp.

I won't...but really want to take a stock Rhino out against one to see how it does. Something tells me the OG Rhino may school it on the trail.

I just don't know about 3 adult males riding in that thing. Now three females have no problem with that.

No brokeback side x side for me. Three more ladies would be fine. I'd make it work :)
