The Rides
When an ATV company chooses to put the
word “King” in the name of their 4-Wheeler,
you can easily guess where they’ve chosen to
position their quad in the lineup. It also
makes for a pretty big target for competitors
and consumers alike to focus on, so the
machine better live up to the billing.
Kawasaki Brute Force has long been a source of
whispered reverence when it comes to ATV riders
shootin’ the breeze. Often the comments begin with
"You should have seen this thing" or "Did you hear about" or "Holy
(fill in the blank) that thing is (fill in the blank)". The problem with
this is; often when us quad-heads get together and talk, it turns in to
our rides; or ones we wish we had, we often sound like a bunch of
gossipy old hens and things can get blown out of proportion.
At least with the Brute, these conversations are often rooted in hard
fact. The Brute is a Force to be reckoned with... Period.
We asked for it,
we waited for it,
and now… We got it!
The Yamaha RS Vector GT is a sled
that doesn’t get a lot of hype, even
though it deserves it. There just
seems to be so many other sleds
out there that steal its thunder.
Sleds like the Nytro, and Yamaha’s
top dog the Apex, are easy to talk
about and get excited over. As the
marketing sun shines on these
models, the Vector is quietly
hanging out in the shade, and for
those of us who take the time to
look past the all the hoopla, we just
might find the best all-around sled
in the Yamaha fleet.
