Hi Guys,
I'm shopping around for a new side by side. Never actually owned one before but I am a Yamaha person myself. I owned a Yamaha snowmobile and I currently own a Yamaha dirt bike. I feel like now is the time to jump into the SxS market as I keep hearing about all the fun people are having on theirs and I'd love to join the fun.
As I said, I am a Yamaha person, but i've been doing some digging, watching videos and whatnot and I hear the Yamaha Viking is excessively noisy to the point you can barely hear yourself think. I've heard this from people who own them first hand and I've seen it on forums online.
Right now it seems as though i'm caught between the 2015 Kawasaki Teryx and the new Wolverine. Noise is going to be a selling point for me. Does anyone know what kind of noise these new machines emit? A friend of mine bought a Polaris Ranger based on it being so quiet and I would also enjoy having hearing left when I get home from a ride.
I love the look of the new Wolverine and I'd love to continue on purchasing Yamaha machines so the question remains. How loud are these bad boys? Also, what kind of power do these things have? The wolverine seems to be taking a lot of heat over the single cylinder engine, I know its DOHC (not a mechanically inclined guy) so that's basically speaking a foreign language to me. How will this stack up again say the Teryx's twin engine?
