Yep.

Not a Wolverine with a selectable manual transmission.:(

They also didn't lower the gear ratio like they should have. That pretty much clinches for me. I will be getting a 2016 Wolverine now. But, for those of you who are still in the market, who really want a Honda.

Just wait, now that I am finally going to commit to buy something they will come out with a black with red highlights, Wolverine sized/sprung, auto/manual selectable, with a dump bed SXS in July.o_O

I'd rather that then what they have currently but I sure like it to shift itself most of the time. That's still nothing but a glorified sand rail in my eyes. At least it would be dependable as opposed to what it's up against

I wonder how the guy talking in the video doesn't choke mid sentence. Yamaha videos are the absolute worst. I like the machines but I'm waiting to hear him slap down the paper tell yamaha I'm can't do this b.s. I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!

I'm not hopping for anything Yamaha, now if Honda has a 140 HP 16" suspension travel sport SXS with bucket seat, I could see myself hopping in line for that! :cool:
