Title: Yamaha Rhino
Post by: Frogman on July 11, 2015, 09:18:19 PM
I'm considering purchasing a used 2013 Yamaha Rhino.  Anyone have any experience with these??  Good or bad reviews?

Is that a camouflaged golf cart?

My nephew has one. I'm not sure of the year though.  From what little I know about them they are bullet proof.  Very reliable.  The early models were involved in some law suits due to their tendency to roll over because of their high center of gravity.  Yamaha since has widen the wheel base to counter that roll over tendency.  Be careful on slopes or if doing high speed turns.  If you drive it like a sane person you should not have any problems. 

Yamaha has a new model out called the Viking you might want to look at. 

Here is a pic I grabbed online that shows the Rhino (on left) next to the much wider Viking.

My sister had one and I liked it very much. Great for fishing trips way back in the woods.

Got it!  My new toy!  2013 model with 1052 miles and 149 hours on it.  New wheels and tires, top, front windshield, back plastic cover, winch, and wheel skirts.  I'm excited.  I have never owned a four wheeler before?

Really nice looking 4-wheeler.  We bought one for the fish and game so I have officially ridden on one.  Now if I only had access to LOTS of area . . . .
