Announcing the 2016 Yamaha Viking XII

Ahead of plan due to lacking sales, Yamaha has just announced the next model in its SxS series. Hitting dealers this fall, the Viking VII will boast a number innovate features found no where else in the industry. While other brands leave riders behind, the Yamaha Viking VII is the first UTV to offer seating for the entire team, 12 full size seats! The dual rear axles offer a plush ride and class leading capacity with 2400 pounds hauling and 4800 pounds towing giving the Viking XII double the capacity of other UTV's on the market. The Viking XII comes standard with its own roundabout allowing for a superior turning radius when a field may not be available. To power the Viking XII, Yamaha has installed a new dual engine with its Super Duper Ultramatic V-belt transmission. NEW, all-rider braking removes the need for engine braking allowing each passenger to control decent independently. Noise is not a concern as the Viking XII comes standard with Yama-talk*, a patented driver to passenger communication system found on no other UTV on the market. The Viking XII will be available September 31st with a MSRP of $19,769

Looks like it's going to take a football field to turn it around. Love to see it on windrock trails.

That is too funny.
If you decide to go to the dark side you could use Ymahasxsxsxsxsxs for your user name.

It looks like Honda cars announced a new product also:

I told my wife I was trading Big Red for one of these and she had two comments:

#1. No way that would go down the trails that we went down at Windrock..........

#2. I'm getting a pool first......... LOL! SMH...........

Is that Yamaha a joke? I honestly can't think of a suitable application for that thing.
I considered buying one of the 6 seater Viking's and then I realized I didn't have that many friends! either way Tflynn you are right. that thing is a joke! If it is real it will be useless!! If you tried to take that thing to places where I ride, IT WOULD HIGH CENTER IN THE PARKING LOT WHILE UNLOADING!!!!! the only thing that is good for is a laugh! lmao
