What’s the best machine for trail riding

[100Acre]

What’s overlanding? I do enjoy an exhilarating ride! As for gear, I have no idea? I’ve just always had this dream to explore the west and see the places my babies once freely roamed.

You sound like @JTW and @montycriscobutt had a love child...

I have 1000-5 over 8000 miles 1300 hr 0 problems .I use it on my cattle farm and ride in Missouri and Arkansas . Is it a plush Trail machine no but I can load my two kids up go trail ride and have a good day then bring it home and work it on farm. if I ever buy a two-seat machine it will be R Max 1000 or krx unless Honda comes out with something different it could be a Talon if they lower the gearing and a diff lock like a crawler model

Well, I don’t think my partner and I have to worry about children and our babies won’t fit in any machine. Oops, I see the error of my offensive comment earlier. I apologize!

It’s when you climb on your Buffalo and go exploring off into the sunset 🤣🤣🤣

Ahhh, well that’s interesting! What’s your style?

technical rock crawling and generally abusive trail riding.

Thank you sir! I appreciate you’re input. I’ll try and do that. I just thought it best to do some research and reading before I travel as there are no dealers in my area. What machine do you prefer and why?

Budget is going to make a difference too. in my area KRX and RMax are hard to come by so still getting MSRP. The Honda dealer has a lot full but I believe They are sticking to their price as well since supply is limited. I would definitely invest in time going to look at all three before making a decision.

 

[GuyOnABuffalo]

Why do you have such animosity for Yamaha? Since I mentioned it as well. I knew what I wanted in a SXS and Honda Fit the bill better than any other machine. And I don’t like rubber bands when you miles from anywhere. If your looking for someone to tell you what to buy, you ain’t gonna find it here. You need to go check them out for yourself.

I don’t have any harsh feelings for any of the machines. The rmax is one of my top choices!

I agree with all of that.

Thank you! What’s your choice of machine?

 

[GuyOnABuffalo]

Well the best thing you could do is meet up with @100Acre once you decide on what ride to get. he is a familiar with the west out there and has some awesome pictures of the area ...

I’m not sure he’ll like me..

 

[Plumber32]

So, I’m in the market for a new machine.. I only need 2 seats. What’s the best machine out there for someone who wants to
Ride hard and not have a bunch of issues. I’m not brand loyal to anything and would like honest opinions please. I see myself traveling and riding all types of terrain.
