Cool! That's just over 300 beers, then you have to minus cooler and ice, but if you ride by yourself you could fit more in the passenger seat and maybe get another 300 beers in there to make 600 beers. That might last 2 days at the takeover!

What hp and speed and what the price going to be I hate to say it but that is not going to out perform the competition in my opinion

Hopefully they have the shocks turned up to high
Anyone that knows what that should’ve looked like across there just had their heart drop. Maybe it’s adjusted incorrectly or maybe they just don’t have the experience building a sport. That should’ve been tuned in for an advertisement.
I4wd, man I want a locker, I’m not going to have possibly more issues with less traction just to be easier. That cute little turn out in the dunes was missing 50hp. I am a Honda fan but I can’t do it. I was pretty sure they were going to be conservative but that was a let down and made my decision easier

So what do you think about the power numbers? Have you had any issues out of that "new clutch pack?" I ask because the clutches on this thing are going to decide whether a turbo ever will be feasible.
It's setup for a power adder. Piston oil squirters, larger throttle bodies, same compression, bigger cam, bigger injectors. They say puts out more hp to the wheels than some of the others... Clutches I'm not to much worried about unless you want stupid power.

Beautiful rig I’ll give ya that but Yami is my second choice overall, dependability and value are high on my list. After beating the holy s*** out of the Wolverine for the last year I’ve no problem buying the same brand.

UTVmag already has a full write up listing 104hp. Thats about what you are making correct?

The pics that @JACKAL posted look awesome. The machine looks great However that was the most uninformed, uneducated (by the presenters) unveiling that I have seen.

The big red came out in 2018...
The pioneer also came out in 18 when the screen says 16...
Wayne says front and rear travel is 21in.. when screen says NOT...

In early 2016 when I test ride the p1k at an unveiling, with wayne lambert there. He verified the bolt pattern was a 4/110. How'd that turn out....

Where are the fireworks and jumps and teaser videos weeks in advance Ken roczen should have drove it out there and did some donuts with it. Get people jacked up for this machine, not just a Movember supporting Wayne Lambert reading a teleprompter.

I think the one big plus for this over the Yammie is the sub trans. Having the low range will be great for really nasty trails. If the YXZ had a low trans I'd probably buy that. The Honda does look pretty nice, I'm looking forward to seeing it in person.
