That's an excellent spoof...it really is :lol: But obviously created by someone who's never sat in a Rzr. It's roomier than you would ever think. One downside is that the riders are sitting at the extreme outer edges of the chassis and get flailed pretty good on overgrown trails. 8" narrower t...

Yeah, isn't that nice of Yamaha? Ha-ha! Corporate America (or Japan, for that matter) doesn't give anything away for free. If they instituted this modification, that means that at least a few people got a nice little settlement. Exactly what I was thinking. You could hear the rumblings on the forum...

Without a question. All the CC's you can within that frame. And maybe some shocks and travel that can put up with the stresses of that added power! But hey... I'll take the power either way.

Getting an error that the file is bad... Please check the file and re-upload it.


I used both windows XP and the newest Winzip to check the file.

If you don't mind my asking.... what line of work are you in?

What an a-hole to do that to you and then ask why you are leaving.

Employees are everything... especially the good ones.

I like that dash. :)


The front roll cage bars look very verticle... I need to see a shot from the distance... maybe it's just the angle here in this picture. The black basket on red frame thing isn't my cup of tea, but otherwise it's looking nice from what I can see here.

That is a kinroad... Some of the Baja's look like kinroads, but who knows. They could be getting the frames from a common supplier and building their own. Links are not clickable at this time due to some bad links on the board. Bad links cause issues with the spiders (google, msn, yahoo, etc) At thi...

We ride the buggy in the back yard (flat grassy desert area) and on caliche dirt road/trail with some small mounds for climbing. I will a...

Very nice!

Thanks for joining!

There have been some rumors out there... but I hadn't heard anything about weight yet myself. If that's the case, it would be pretty cool! We already know that Carter Brothers has a larger displacement Interceptor XRV coming out so it would make sense that TJ Powersports would do something as well. ...

You've probably seen pictures of them Stu but didn't know what they were called. They were the knobs that were mounted on steering wheels so you could turn the wheel with one hand... That was before the time of power steering when heavy cars where hard to steer... and one handed steering was a chore...

I know we had these on here years ago... they looked like VW bugs... and Ric is right.. .they were all over Ebay... sand something or other. I remember that we have videos on here of them as well... may have even been on the old Yahoo site.

The first generation of coolsters were horrid. Constant weld cracks on the rear swingarm, mufflers quickly falling off, etc. We haven't had enough folks with the newer ones (maybe we scared everyone on the site from buying them?) to make a judgement, but based upon how folks were treated and how the...
