Try locating an old Suzuki Samurai. Little 85 hp 4 banger will get you to 60 with 33" tires on it. Bomb it with a Weber carb and you can boost the hp to 110. They will go anywhere a Polaris will go and the seats are much more comfortable. Plus you can mod the doors so they are removable so you can have that "open air" feel they have. Another nice feature is they have heaters in em and some have A/C.

You can pick one up, bomb the crap outta it and still save 5-7K in your pocket over can am's, razors or Mules

Just my 2 cents worth, plus i like to bomb things to my taste.

I have a Kawasaki Teryx. They have 2 seaters or 4. I have the 2 seater. No issues so far.

I know someone who would have a new Pioneer 500, if they would put an automatic shift option in it. It's got the same 5 speed dual-clutch transmission as some of the Ranchers, but only with manual, paddle-shifting, mounted on the back of the wheel.

A friend works at the Polaris/Kawasaki/Suzuki dealer. Says he's had Rangers come in with a hole in the block and still running on the other cylinder.

We quit complaining about the Rhino and just quit using it when the boss threatened to get an old Toyota pick-up, pull the doors off, and run the exhaust up through the hood. Doesn't make the rhino any less of a waste of space, though.
