I feel like the motor and transmission in the Honda is the weakest and worst of the choices. The Viking is pretty much a bigger Rhino with a 3rd seat. They are good and tough machines and I think the 700 Yamaha motor is one of if not the best big bore single cylinder motors out. That being said they just aren't the machines that the Rangers are. The Rangers are stronger, faster, and can just do more. The single cylinder motors just don't put out the power like the v-twins do. You check the specs and see. Pioneer-- bed capacity-1000lb Towing capacity- 1500lb Viking-- bed capacity- 600lb Towing capacity- 1200lb Ranger-- payload--1500lb Towing capacity- 2000lb

I have some info on a place called Stoney Lonesome in Cullman i think. It looks ok, but its really small. Seems like its only about 500 acres and about 40 miles of trails. That would be ok far a day ride. If there are any other places to ride, post them up. Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?
