2016 Yamaha YXZ1000R First Ride Review and World Launch

Yamaha Unleashes their Game Changing, Manual Shift, YXZ1000R

Yamaha assembled members of the media along with representatives from their dealers in Long Beach, California for the unveiling of their big September 1st announcement that they have been hyping up for the past couple of months. With leaked images of the YXZ1000R hitting the Internet leading up to the event, everyone knew why they were there; however, the new machine’s exact specifications, and more importantly, performance remained a mystery.

Yamaha is making the bold claim that the YXZ1000R is the world’s first high-performance side-by side. While we’re pretty sure that there are a lot of Polaris, Arctic Cat, and Can-Am owners who would argue that statement, there aren’t a lot of motocross bikes, sport ATVs, road race bikes, or race cars that use automatic transmissions, so point taken.

There is so much left to explore about the YXZ1000R’s engine, suspension, and handling. Other aspects such as its power steering performance, braking feel, and overall connection between driver and machine remains yet to be experienced at all. Still, based on our brief experience in the YXZ1000R, we can attest that it is definitely a ground breaking, high-performance side-by-side. With Yamaha’s reputation for durability, craftsmanship, and attention to detail, its competitors have a reason to sweat, while the rest of us continue to drool.
