$16999 Base model $18999 SE I hope. It will probably be a little more, but I still really believe Yamaha is going to make a big splash and aggressively take a big chunk of the market.
I bet they will above 20kHow that we've got some information / leaked photos about the new YXZ, how aggressive is the pricing going to be?
I sure hope you guys thinking over 20k are wrong. Anything over 17500 and I'm out, and I'd assume many others that are hoping for a reasonable price point. A Wolverine is 12300.00 and new Honda Pioneer is 15100.00, and sure has a ton of cool features and great price point. I know they aren't in the same class but a 7k jump. Looking at Yamaha's, polaris's and others price differences between upgrades and hitting the proper marketing price I really see the price around 17k. I can't imagine Yamaha will price themselves out of the main market.I don't think the flagship models will be under 20k. I'm guessing $20,999 for the 2 seat and 22,999k for the 4 seat flagship models which is going to undercut it's competitor turbo models by quite a bit and offer a more reliable auto shift manual transmission. Then the years after, they will increase thier price, which yamaha has done in the past after gaining popularity. Just my guess
I dont think I'd call around 20K "out of the main market". I would consider the xp1000 the "main market"I sure hope you guys thinking over 20k are wrong.

Exactly right.I dont think I'd call around 20K "out of the main market". I would consider the xp1000 the "main market"
You have to realize how quickly you can spend 7K on a sxs. Hell a good set of shocks is at least 5K.
If they drop a solid machine that does not need 5K right off the bat to make it safe and perform properly, coupled with Yamaha's reliability, they have a slam dunk IMO.
