Off-road Yamaha Rhino

The Yamaha Rhino is in my opinion one of the most fun to drive vehicles in the world. You notice I didn't say cars or bikes, because it is neither. It's an off-road vehicle and I absolutely love it. It can take two people onboard and around 200kg of cargo. Besides that, the Yamaha Rhino can also carry in tow 600kg.
The Yamaha Rhino comes in two versions, different only through the engines that power them. If you want economy choose the 450, and if you want power choose the Yamaha Rhino 660. Two people, 200kg of cargo and the nature. The perfect combination with a Yamaha Rhino!
Atleast that's what I did with my girlfriend. Took my Yamaha Rhino and then went in the mountains, with the backpacks and the tent. Spent two amazing days, relaxing and driving the Yamaha Rhino around.

Yamaha Rhino preview

This is just to give you a small taste of the subject of this blog, the Yamaha Rhino. You'll be able to read news, previews, reviews and performance tests on the Yamaha Rhino, all in one tightly packed blog.
But, you'll need to know first what the Yamaha Rhino is, right? It's an off-road vehicle, or a recreational utility vehicle, call it what you like. No, it's not an ATV, it's an RUV, a class of vehicles perhaps less known, but more useful. The Yamaha Rhino is basicly a double 4x4 ATV, with two seats put side by side, seatbelts and a rollcage to protect the passengers. Another point that is different in the Yamaha Rhino from a regular ATV are the pedals and steering wheel.
The Yamaha Rhino is a small RUV, and maybe less inclined towards utility and more towards recreational. Lots of fun!
