Haven't heard yet, only heard about a comparison in Australia. '15 model can am's, those blinded by Yammie kool aid won't like results.
15 can am? Oh wow... yea, not pretty.
I can tell you one thing for sure if the YXZ does 90 it will pass my RZR XPT going up Oldsmobile at Glamis. Land vehicle Vehicle All-terrain vehicle Automotive tire Car
See less See more
Pretty sure 90mph is a flat land speed, never been to glamis, can you peg the speed limiter up Oldsmobile?
Jesus what happened to that 570!?!

From what I hear that was just talk, I do not believe anyone has the YXZ yet, not anywhere. But if I am wrong about that I would love to see a vid on it. Without proof talk is just talk. There r a lot of worried people out there about this YXZ giving the big bad Can am n the big bad Polaris competition n will say anything. Talk about drinking the kool aid. But we all will have to wait when the YXZ is finally out there to really see what it can do. That will be the proof to me anyway, AGAIN TIME WILL TELL.

That's exactly why I hate posting info I haven't seen myself, it's what I've read on a different site, pics were taken of the ride day, it was someone's feedback of what they did and experienced. It's the right answer so we say it's true and we rejoice, it's the wrong one so its fake. No reason to believe it or not, but it makes sense to me. This machine wasn't built to drag race, it's a gazelle, no doubt with even bolt ons and tuning it's a 100mph desert machine. I'm buying one to make it stupid, lol, big power and tire shredding, will it beat my 195hp Max, yes but not for a few hundred feet, maybe more. Discuss! Beers and discuss!! Lol
From what I learned a few high volume dealers have an YXZ on the showroom but the dealers do not own them. All YXZs that are in dealer's hands are still owned by Yamaha.

What website? True or not, it's kinda fun to read and look at pictures of the machine.

Pretty much true unless they purchase one outright. They pay a monthly fee to the manufacturer for whatever stock they have on hand.
The showroom scuttlebut (Scuttlebut - definition of Scuttlebut by The Free Dictionary) I hear is 80 MPH.
Also, the Yellow is supposed to have a nicer interior and paint instead of decals was mentioned.
Pure Scuttlebut.
The Yamaha showroom hands-on loaners should start arriving this week.
Don't much care if one machine takes a car length on the Yammie at the end of a football field. I care if its fun to drive. More so than my CVT counterpart. Having 300 HP wrapped up in a SXS I have experienced all the thrills of power. This rig gets me excited for different reasons. Screw CanAm. Screw Popo, screw AC. I want to shift something.

A dealer in Chandler, Arizona posted on their FB page that they had one for viewing last weekend.

Too far for me to drive, so I'll wait for the west-side shops to rotate through.
