I have a buddy who has been watching these closely and considering trading in his Viking for one. For power there is a Yamaha guy quoting 111-112 HP when interviewed by one of the ATV online magazines. The lack of a low range is interesting and I wonder how it would do on technical trails.
Yamaha has a much better reputation for build quality and durability than many others especially Polaris. My buddy and several guys he rides with it won't even touch a Polaris but I know part of that is just personal preference. I will say his Viking has been very reliable with the only issue being a torn CV boot by a stick and that is with aftermarket 28" tires and it gets rode hard.
