I don't see many of those out on the trails, what was the determining factor in picking that machine vs others. I'm currently torn between the Rmax, Maverick sport and Commander as a second machineToday Is Something: 04-22-24
Blasphemous as it may be, the Honda Pioneer inherited a sibling today. I am not sure yet if it is a red headed step-child, or the desired brother, maybe a golden child. Time can only tell... Coming home today on the back of the cummins trailer is a 2024 Kawasaki Teryx4 Camo S LE.

The main purpose of the second machine was to get family and friends onto the trails with us. Being able to provide something was a big milestone my wife and I wanted to achieve. We have so many friends and family who enjoy riding, most of them don't have their own machine. So this was a way to get them out with us.I don't see many of those out on the trails, what was the determining factor in picking that machine vs others.

CongratsThe main purpose of the second machine was to get family and friends onto the trails with us. Being able to provide something was a big milestone my wife and I wanted to achieve. We have so many friends and family who enjoy riding, most of them don't have their own machine. So this was a way to get them out with us.
Main considerations were:
Short wheelbase
Comfortable seats for 4
Decent price
It came down to the Wolverine and Teryx. The price ultimately won us over on the teryx.
Over the last week my wife and I have been doing some heavy research, we found a unit from a dealer in Illinois. They had the best price and financing. They did not have the Cypher green, which was my favorite color. I called many dealers from IL, MO and IA. I was very direct "this is the machine I want, this is the price I desire. Otherwise I will go with another dealer". Everyone I spoke to basically said they couldn't do it. I called Big Motorsports in St Charles MO. I told the saleswoman my expectations, she asked who the dealer I was currently working with. I told her I was working with Holzhauer in IL. The saleswoman responded with "let me talk with my boss and I will call you back". 30 minutes later I get a call back.
The saleswoman states, the dealer I was working with was selling a new old stock 2023 Teryx4 Camo S LE. We do not have a 2023. We have a new 2024. We can match holzhauer on price and financing for the 2024 Teryx4 S LE. If I wanted a different color the price would be more expensive. The Cypher green was $1000 more than the Camo. After some research, the Cypher green (including the other colors) is nothing different, only a color change. I couldn't justify $1000 for just a color that will most likely be damaged or fade with use. We hashed out some numbers and my wife and I scored a 2024 Teryx4 Camo S LE for $15482.50 OTD with our tax exempt for 0 down and 1.9% interest for 36 months. We declined the extended warranty. They wanted $1800 for that.
Well, congrats!! Hope it works out for y'all. I wish I had friends like you, mine told me to go buy my own damn SXS 🙄😂😂 enjoy!!The main purpose of the second machine was to get family and friends onto the trails with us.

Lol, I hope to get my parents hooked enough to get my dad to want his own. I plan to instigate him into something sporty.Well, congrats!! Hope it works out for y'all. I wish I had friends like you, mine told me to go buy my own damn SXS 🙄😂😂 enjoy!!
I plan to make a build thread in the "others" section. My wife and I are very excited for it.Congratulations on the new SxS! I’ll be interested to hear your thoughts on the new machine.
I had an older Tyrex before my Pioneer, loved it. My brother has the exact same machine you bought, it came factory with Fox suspension, it’s a very comfortable ride, even in the back seat.Today Is Something: 04-22-24
Blasphemous as it may be, the Honda Pioneer inherited a sibling today. I am not sure yet if it is a red headed step-child, or the desired brother, maybe a golden child. Time can only tell... Coming home today on the back of the cummins trailer is a 2024 Kawasaki Teryx4 Camo S LE.

Thank you!I had an older Tyrex before my Pioneer, loved it. My brother has the exact same machine you bought, it came factory with Fox suspension, it’s a very comfortable ride, even in the back seat.
Congratulations, enjoy.
So just to take it a step further...food for thought; it sounds like you're buying this as a second machine for others to ride, its not your personal primary ride correct?Thank you!
You are correct. The pioneer will be our primary machine. The teryx will be the shared ride. I felt like for a machine to let others use it was perfect.So just to take it a step further...food for thought; it sounds like you're buying this as a second machine for others to ride, its not your personal primary ride correct?
That being the case, decent performance, great ride and a very good price point.
I think it makes perfect sense
Now if it is your personal primary you are definitely going down a little in performance unless your new model is a 1000cc, in terms of ride comfort the Kawi is way smoother and quieter in my opinion (I am absolutely pro Honda just to be clear). I think you made a great choice.
