I am in a similar boat....but for a different reason. I have no need to work with my unit, nor a desire to. Been there done that. Going to buy 1 last one in my life, purely for fun so trying to decide base Rmax or Base X3.

It's all about riding ditches, fire roads and 64 inch trails for me. Was at the yamaha dealer this morning, they have a base for $20k. Man the thing looks very beefy. Doors shut like a car door. For a year 1 machine, the reliability seems to be amazing. The can am has way more legroom (I am 6-1) 16 inch longer wheelbase and few more ponies. $19,600. What to do...

My response is the RMax will smoke the Can Am hands down. Ride, performance, and quality.

Two if my good hunting buddies have defender hd8’s. They are beefy, stout, and powerful, but very utilty-like compared to the r-max. I would not take them in some sketchy spots I’ve taken my X2 and gen 1 wolverine through.

congrats on the purchase.. love the camo! If you are using it for work, i would swap out the mud tires asap for a more AT type tire

We all have our reasons for picking a machine for the purpose we are going to use them for. I think you made a good choice for yours. Happy trails!

You are right we went for a ride Saturday i was the only yamaha there was several honda pioneer 700s one krx (very large unit but nice looking) several cfmotos that I was worried about making the trip but they all did surprisingly. A few can ams. A few rzrs and one Suzuki samurai. My r-spec and the krx were the most looked at in the crowd maybe because they different than the rest. I did receive a lot of compliments.

I ride with friends who have the Maverick sport. They complain of the heat in the cab. This is not a problem with the Rmax.

My maverick sport xrc has no cab heat. 2 1/2 years no problems What so ever.
