Probably up on to the roll cage behind where you sit. Id have to look at it in person to come up with a plan.

I think that's got to be one of the dumbest things I have ever seen! I cant believe guys do that! Like who think its a good idea to put boiling hot water just behind your head? Imagine being strapped in by a 5 point harness and a rad hose blows off or rad springs a leak on your back? You would get the **** bunt out of you bye the time you stopped and got out.

Hey Neil, lots of people do it, and yes getting burnt could be a risk. I really dont care to talk about it here, So Ill leave it at that.

But hey, maybe Ill see you and your wife out in Revy some time again. Have a gooder.

havent heard of to many problems or maimings with the rad on the front rack, right in front of your open face helmet, thousands of those around.

100 %, the wash from the rad in front on the rack would be worse than the rad behind u

Yes that's is true. I don't think that's a great idea either. At least you can jump off I guess.

So, what's the difference between the models? All I see is color and beadlock wheels for 7000$. Other than that, I like it. It can't be any worse than the other sxs out there.

It would take some getting used to shifting as I haven't had a vehicle that didn't do it automatically for me for years.

It's only $2000 difference between the two models in US pricing. Not 7000

I'm from Canada so $7000 is about right. Haha. The website doesn't say the price for the base model but I'm assuming 19-20k and the SE is listed for almost 27K so...idk

Patience.... They will drop a lot after the shine wears off!
Popo will lower the 1000 prices like canam has....Yamaha will follow too...

I would expect prices to drop 2 to 3 k once the " have the first ones" have bought, especially in light of the new economy.....

Im with you guys.....unreal looking machine but 26k is absolutely insane. You compare this unit to a yamaha sled that sells for close to half the price and I bet the sled costs as much or more to build. The parts for these things should be more readily available (axles, seats, tires, etc). Pretty much the same engine. The profit margins on these have to be absolutely insane. Plus you would think the market for UTVs would be alot bigger than sled?

You just answered it with your last sentence. If the market is willing to pay for $$$$$$ why sell for $$$$?
