I'm looking for a sxs for the family I need min 3 full size seats. I'm leaning towards a ranger just because I've rode them a ton but these other 2 have sparked my interest, especially the Honda 700-4. Can anyone give me a recommendation for or against and info would be helpful.

check out Dirt trax online review 2013 Episode 25, that may give you some insight for the pioneer

Not sure about the Honda but I would choose the Ranger. I ride with a guy that has a Rhino which can't be to much different then the Viking it's a nice machine but it just isn't nice. It lacks in ride and power and the wet clutch sucks! The rangers ride so much nicer and the clutching is so much better! One thing the ranger does get a hot seat for the passengers when going slow in the mud and trails.

I'm actually in the same boat wondering the same thing but what about the new 2014 Kawi Teryx 4? It seems like a good machine they made some decent upgrades from the 13' and the pricing is not too too Crazy.

I ended up choosing the Ranger 800 LE wanted the 900 but ended up being $3000 more. I would love to try the Honda just not any around to try same with Yamaha and Kwai. All polaris and can am around here.

I looked at the vicking at the boat show last weekend.... ITS HUGE!!!!! definitley a farm machine...... The big red is good by Honda it has a real cluth (so I've been told)so can control the wheels better if stuck in mud. and gears too!!

I would go with the Yammi, or get the 900 in the ranger. The 800 is a rattling piece of garbage. We love our 2012 Ranger 800, but for a newer machine it sounds and feels like it is on its last leg. Been that way since new.

The T4's are a solid machine, not really any problems with them, the diff lock switch will come in handy sooner or later. We like our '12.
