Tikka, Love your ride and it looks like you've got the trails figured out. I'm building a list of trail riding destinations but being from the southeast I will have to fly in and rent. If you know of any rentals in your riding areas I'd love some info. Also, I'm currently in the market for a 4 seater at home. Last time I researched the Teryx the one consistent complaint was that it is loud. Is it still loud or has Kawi quietened it down?

Seems all SxS's are loud to a sense.......the CVT belt is the culprit ........
along with the motor right between the seats......heat also can be an issue......
look around & test drive locally......none are perfect......your budget may help you decide
Honda 1000 will push $22K loaded.......wow huh ? Buy a used Tacoma !
They really beat you up on the dealer added options......Kawasaki has 3 yr warranty...
Very well built machine.......attention to fit & finish....very durable & solid machine
mine was $17K ish after $2K rebate OTD......PM sent........
