Yamaha Viking

Anyone have a Viking? Any feedback on them?

[crashxx]

Don't have a Viking but a good friend is a Yamaha dealer. The Vikings are a little under powered in my opinion. We looked at some but went with a 19' Wolverine with the 850 in it. We love it, plenty of power and quiet. It is definitely smaller than the Viking. If you can, go drive a Viking. Hope that helps a little.

Thanks. I like the 3rd seat for little one to be able to ride. It's basically a 95%dedicated hunting rig so it looks like bed larger on it over wolverine?

[crashxx]

Yes, larger bed. For hunting that's probably the best choice out of the two.

I have a 2014 with 3,000 miles on it and it has been a great rig. Bed is way bigger than the Wolverine. I can put 4 tree stands in the bed with out having to strap them down.

Thanks for the review. Torn between Viking and the 700-4 pioneer with seats fold up out of the bed. I'm a Honda ATV guy and a Yamaha outboard guy so I'm confused!

I would stay away from any of the Pioneer series from Honda. It wasn't really until they got into the Talon series did they start to figure out the UTV market.

That Viking is hard to beat. My buddy has one and there hasn’t been anyplace he couldn’t go - within reason, of course. I’ve ridden in his over most of the obstacles at Tackett Creek (google videos galore). He uses his for scouting/hunting and general farm use, and it has required minimal maintenance

Bought a 2015 Viking silver special edition this AM. Haven't rode much besides around yard but seems legit

Nice rig, you should enjoy that.
