eBay eh? Sweet!

Can't wait to hear your thoughts and comparison!

I'd be interested if they had a 6 seater.

I would have bought one had they had the rear seat setup like Honda.

What Plummer said!! PJ isn't going anywhere it's apart of the family. Just needed something meanwhile that will be dependable and that all can drive without instructions and this'll fit the bill.
One Yamaha in the fleet of Hondas isn't making me go anywhere. Still Honda fan but my experience with mine has rubbed me raw. I don't do Facebook and am on no other forums because my friends are here. Love the people here truly! Hopefully this isn't looked upon as negitive because we have bought 3 Honda Sxs's in the last two years and paid our dues but we were looking to replace the quad it just had to happen sooner then thought lol. Don't hate me it's still a jap rig I didn't loose my mind. PJ will just have a new friend to play with down the road, should be fun.

First look at the family's new ride.
Today after my bike sold got some things taking care of including the start to our future in the sport. Leaving the dirtbike behind and moving into 4 wheels permanently is sad but better for some things.
Feels like I'm trading my ultra dependable and downright fun Honda bike for a Yamaha so this is weird for me but things change and so do I sometimes.
eBay of all places, have I said I liked eBay lol? Things happen quickly with the sheer determination to ride in the woods,we've missed it. Special thanks to @Plumber32
Back at it soon!

I had to chuckle a little when I seen this,l took my wife to the local dealer Friday evening and test drove one, we were impressed with it, the only problem's were they would only give me $6000.00 for mine and further discussing it with my wife, it is to wide to fit thru the door of our shed, the trailer we have now would be to small, the grandkids wouldn't be able to ride with us, not to mention the fact it would take another couple thousand for wheels, tires, windshield and everything else we would add plus the fact that l haven't spent any money on repairs with 2800 miles on it, So we decided the 500-4 we have now will be around for a while yet,I think you will like your newest addition, can't wait to hear more about your thoughts on it overtime.

I'll never say this would replace the 5 seat for us because it can't. We are seldomly just two people and it'll be an adjustment till the 1000 is going but we also have the quad for now and it seats 4 when needed. Room and dependability is very important to us that's why we bought a Pioneer in the first place

What is it. Sorry I do not know much about other brands... I mean I know it's a Yamaha. Which Yamaha?

 

[Delton]

I'd be interested if they had a 6 seater.

Yamaha does make a 6 seater. It's longer than a stretch limo and ugly as f**k. A Spec R was my 2nd choice. So far I'm still sticking with my decision.

I meant a 6 seater r spec. The Viking is a stretch limo golf cart. I'm good.

Congrats on the new ride
I'm a member on the Hotrod forum from when I had my Viking
That's a good group of guys over there also
It's ran by JBS

Thank you I think we'll be happy. No big build this time that's for the Pioneer so probably won't be spending much time over there but I'm sure it's a good group too.

Yxz is bad ass if you got lots of open space or dirt roads but anyone that knows me knows I ride hard in tight stuff and the Yxz can't do it. Not that I can't handle it but I'm not gunna ride pos dunes and dirt roads.
Wolverine can. We can ride the s*** out of it where we ride. Not scared of the power in fact I'd like it but wolverine can be 70hp. Huge following so lots of goods.
Now my opinion, incredible ride. The Spec stock is much smoother then Pioneer with good shocks it was a blast. Not as much power but damn smooth. Quit no seat heat and massive braking including good engine breaking. Fun ass rig. For a two seater it's fun.

Have you seen the factory GYTR kit with 40% gear reduction in 1st? Can cruise slow trails in 2nd & 3rd with it.

Yeah.. they just need more motor to put in it!

 

[Chooglin]

Congrats CP , I think you'll be pretty happy with the new ride , they are a nice machine!

 

[Dragon21]

Nice, if I didnt need the room for 4-5 people, the Wolverine R-Spec would have been my choice as well. Unfortunately the Pioneer 1000-5 is the only machine out that can fit my entire family and not be a mile long.

 

[knuckledeep]

Congrats buddy what happened to ok I was reading Back trying to find out. Just put Honda decals on the new ride and you will have the first talon

 

[Eltobgi]

Congrats, I think! Are you the proud owner of a Yamaha R Spec? Saw the test drive photos! But wasn't sure you had pulled the trigger! I find it hard to believe that Yamaha is staying stock Your actions support your passion, and your passion demands mods! So, what is first
