Update 1:40 9/1/2015
We’re completely in shock. Yamaha went there. They actually made a 5 speed manual SXS. Unreal. Unreal.
Pricing isn’t bad either! Top end model goes for $21,599 and the low end model goes for $19,799. All come with Fox Podium RC2 shocks, with the main difference being beadlock wheels, colors, and graphics.
Incredible.
Kudos to Yamaha for having the balls.

I cannot wait for the aftermarket to step up with new parts for this machine! I saw yesterday that Mountain Performance has a new turbo kit available with possible HP numbers up to 300!
