My Dad used to have one, and was a lot of fun. Takes a little time getting used to how they drive, but can be a lot of fun sliding around corners. Be carefull though, they are similar to the old odesy's (sp?)... Either take the corners slow and easy, or at WOT. If you let off the gas while sliding a corner, can be a quick turn over. Leg reminders are not a bad idea... On the Rhino forum, many people have reported broken ankles and legs from tipping them over and putting there legs out to "catch" the fall.


Other than that, a lot of mods can be done to the rhino's to "hop" them up. Sanding the V drives in the transmission, the Grizzly CDI, etc.

Also, if you plan to play in the rocks... the plastic skids are not that strong.

If you ever come this way send me a p.m. You can ride it all you want, just not take it home LOL.


Here is a picture of the Rhino with my friends black Brute Force 750.







And my body guard riding shotgun... or pistol in this case.

So can we get a little review in the new toy? Does it have good power? Drive good? How well does it handle the bumps?

I've always wondered how those ride. They just seem top heavy to me.

The Rhinos look cool but here is WA state, they would be practically worthless except for use as a workhorse for farmers and ranchers.

You aren't allowed to ride them on the roads and the legal ATV trails in the forests are all too narrow for the Rhino. There isn't much sand here in WA and if there was sand, the Rhino is too heavy and underpowered to be too exciting in the sand.

I know these machines are popular but it must be in other states where people are buying them.
