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, it might even be a golden child. Who knows. Time can only tell... Coming home today on the back of the cummins trailer is a 2024 Kawasaki Teryx4 Camo S LE.

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 machine

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.

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.

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.
Congratulations, enjoy.

Thank you!
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.

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.

I agree with your assessment for power vs comfort. I will know more after we ride the teryx around.

Heading Out:

Getting ready to leave for the annual Drummond Island Michigan trip. The van gets to take a tow break this drive. This will be the new to me used trailer's maiden voyage. Hopefully all goes well.
