Shopping For a Yamaha Rhino 660 Or Yamaha Rhino 700
The Yahama Rhino 660 came out in 2004, though a slightly improved and cheaper model came out in 2006. It is a ground-breaking, off road recreational room that has plenty of room for two, plus whatever gear you’d like to stow along for the trip! This ATV features great comfort and options, many of which mimic an actual automotive: brake and gas pedal set up in the normal way, steering wheel, a console mounted in the center, and even a lever style parking brake. The engine is based on a four-stroke, five-valve design that is liquid and oil cooled, and offers excellent power-to-weight ratio. It has an automatic transmission, four wheel drive and an independent four wheel suspension. Easy to read gauges and headrests ensure a convenient and comfortable ride.
Then there’s the Yamaha Rhino 700. This ATV was launched in 2008, and brings with it technology that has never been seen in any of the prior Rhino lines. One improvement is the larger engine — 686cc instead of 600cc. Then there’s the safety features: doors and more handholds for passengers.

Yamaha R1 Expert Bike Review
Yamaha’s epic new R1 is the unanimous, hands-down winner of our 1000cc superbike track test. It easily beats the competition, but it has to be said from the off that it takes time to appreciate the R1’s brilliance. That’s down to the Yamaha’s unique MotoGP-inspired crossplane crank motor with its irregular firing intervals. It’s so different to anything anyone except Valentino Rossi and his mates have ridden before, it takes time for it all to sink in.
When fellow road tester Bruce Dunn rode it briefly for straight-line performance testing at our test strip, he wasn’t jumping for joy. When I rode it against the more familiar Fireblade in France, I was initially convinced it wasn’t as good as the Honda. Already there have been magazine articles saying it’s all hype.
