Other than Ranger,,,,

I still miss the UTV days, but like the AC/HEAT option. But, we have our Jeep "comfortized" and I won't take it where we would take the UTV'S, so good point. At least for me, it's the ever steady advancing age...always in search for functional comfort

I understand that no doubt. There's been many of cold morning at the lease where I wondered why I didn't buy a Jeep instead of a SxS. If you're not using them like LuBowhunter you can get away with the jeep. My problem is that it'd take a 50,000+ dollar Jeep to do what I want when we go to these mud parks and play. I just can't give that up right now. As I age I'm sure that will all change.

What is an extra 200lbs. going to do for the Honda? Ranger is dry weight and Honda is curb weight. Didn't expect the Honda to weigh in at that much. At least Ranger will be forced to jump to 27'' tires to match the ground clearance next year. Always thought the Rangers needed bigger tires.

I want to ride/drive a Pioneer now that I've read this article. There's a few new things in there that seem like are going to be new to the SxS market.

it is really about 100 to 140 pound maybe, Polaris is Dry Wieght (without the gas fluids, ete) Honda wieght is full of gas, oil and cooliant. I figured it would weigh more but not as Heavy as the new Kawasaki FTX.

Really looks like Honda wanted to go head to head with the Ranger on this one. I am glad Ranger has a bit more compitition, consumer will have a choice of a better product. What I mean by this is Polaris will be forced to address there issues as well.

The big surpise is the Honda is almost 3" wider I was hoping they would keep it 60" or less.

No doubt. Competition breeds improvement for all involved. Well, that or you become irrelevant I guess.

I'm sure Honda has made theirs wider for stability. The only real restricted places are the 50'' and less vehicles in some of the riding places further North, they're both way past that, so I guess they figure another 3 inches will just up the safety for the riders.
