1541 lbs !!! Doesn't have the wheel travel of a wildcat x. Turning radius isn't as good as a rzr

will be an interesting machine, looks a bit California- ish, sand rail/high speed, likely not much for mud but time will tell, sure has potential!

It's the real deal , MPI already has a bolt on155 hp turbo kit.... Ready to go!
so far I like it.. May not be a Muddin machine though...
a brisk run through the gears would put a silly smile on my face though....

Talked to a few guys down south and they said it is light years ahead of anything else......hardly any driveline loss. And bull it proof motor / trans...rzr / BRP killer

I see no reason why it couldnt work great in the mud. Put on some tires and snorkel, 2nd gear, hammer down.

Looks like a decent rig to me.

Looks like 5 link trailing arms with shocks at the back A arm style ....high tech! Crazy front shocks/ and travel by the higher mount...trophy truck like.
Bet this thing hauls the mail....

I do not care about mail.

What is wrong with the axles and rad? Wont need low range, its got a 5 speed, gear down and pin it.

Back on topic ...the rad appears to sit real low ( in mud) , but hard to tell in pictures...axles look like tooth picks too ... But time will tell . Yamaha has finally made a REAL attempt this time ...that's what counts!
It will sell like crazy ...it's different !

Gorilla axles, move the rad, problem solved. I personally think it could make for a very fun mud machine, because of the 5 speed and manual clutch.
