Which Side by Side should I Buy?

[@VesselofMercy100]

I had to borrow a buddies to go on a rock climbing trip(I have been thinking about buying one). Honda pioneer following $35,000 razors and decked can am rigs. The stock Honda pioneer could keep up and go just about anywhere those other guys went. Stock everything. My other buddies couldn’t believe it. I had no experience either rock climbing. I was laughing at all of their $450.00 payments. I went to the Honda dealership right after the trip

[@jcapen1]

I saw that also. They did say that puting some weight on the rear,like a spare tire mount could help. That video made me think about the Kawasaki. I really would prefer to stay away from a belt driven system. I was set on the YXZ but am now leaning towards the Talon.

[@kong3]

Dont forget the 50" Trail models. If u are settling on a 2 seater AND you have a lot if 50" only trails in your area consider how much opportunity you might miss. Heading to Moab or?? Put 2" spacers on. If you will not ride 50" trails then sport models on up.

@@DerangedOffRoad The talon R is not better than the YXZ, the Talon X is very close..Talon R chassis and suspension sucks.. Talon X is just as nimble as the YXZ but has much more low end torque, 6speed trans with low range that shifts clean and quick, The YXZ has better suspension ergonomics and build quality exceeds Honda. FYI I've physically compared my 17 yxz SS (supercharged) to the 19 YXZ SS and both Talon R and X models. IMO Turbo talon X will nudge Honda ahead of Yamaha. I'm sure Yamaha has plans to step it up..

At 70 mph you'll lose a belt with 20 minutes. I guess you don't need a trailer if you never want to ride outside your local area. Many people don't have that option and they have to travel an hour or two to get to their "local" riding area. Really there's many reasons to buy a trailer. For most people it an absolute necessity. -Dave

[@davecothran]

I'd prob put the Can-Am Trail in the 'adventure' category and the (admittedly similar) Sport in the sport category, and the Talon X in sport, too, they don't really belong with the General or Teryx, which are a lot tougher to get into a Sport category. But I get where you were going with more of a price definition - sub 20k, while the high-end 'pure sport' models are in the high 20k range. Maybe there's a 'casual sport' kind of category that a lot of people I know are in with lower end sport models. Thanks for the video! With everyone seemingly getting 4-seaters, maybe a review on all the choices there once the Honda's come out.
