Disregard this post if it's already been mentioned.

I heard today from a fella that works at BRP they are announcing a new Commander model on September 10th. No details other than it will be a totally new model.

Well there’s a unveiling coming up . But was at my dealer Friday . And their products order form have everything but the commander on it. So curiously see what they unveil.

It would seem odd that BRP would drop out of the game that yamaha is finally stepping all the way into.

There's a couple of threads with pics and videos of the yamaha rmax 1000 on the wolverine forum: Yamaha Wolverine Forum - Active Topics

I'm thinking this may be the machine for me. I'll be waiting for the price to settle and hear some real world reports. You've been able to get new 2 seat talons around here in the $15K range. I almost sold my commander and honda foreman to buy one but I really want a dump bed. I'll wait to see about the new commander too, if it exists. But I think that as a general rule that the japanese, american built machines are going to be more reliable.

Yeah once they get the Bugs out of the new models . Honda still having trans issues kaw still having clutch issues . So this new 1000 cc 2cyl in yam. Just curious to see what other issues it causes with there trans and clutches . Never buy first yr model .

What kind of clutch issues is the krx 1000 having?

I really love yamaha's ultramatic compared to the grab and go systems that can am and polaris use. I don't know what sort of system the kawi uses. I'm anxious to see if yamaha has beefed it up enough to take the 108 hp of the new 1000.

Kaw using wet clutch constant pressure cvt sane as the old rhino so I have been told . Jamie’s has a fix for the kaw.

[acefire]

73 mph is pretty darn good in the Rmax 1000 and it got there pretty fast too. The more I see of this machine the more impressed I am. I REALLY hope Can Am has something comparable to the Commander to replace it with. It's a really good mix of utility and sportiness.

I love Yamaha’s cvt system. It’s golf cart smoothe. Assuming they’ve properly beefed up their ultramatic to take the 108hp of that rmax 1000, it should be great to drive. No jumpy belt engagement like can am or popo.
