I just purchased an 08 700 Rhino. It took me a while to decide between the Rhino and the Teryx. I chose the Rhino because it had better features and looks alot easier to access parts than the Teryx. The Teryx is nice but it just looks like it is a pain to work on. The Teryx seems like a great machine but just didnt seem like the the quality was there. The bed on the Teryx did not seem a sturdy. No Fuel guage come on I didnt even know that was possible anymore. The teryx did have a smoother ride but i figure i can swap shocks at some point to even it up. I think i would have been happy with either purchase. I know i love the vtwin on my brute. Just my review on the 2. Bad thing is I cant even drive the thing for a while because i had surgery on my foot and the surgery boot is huge and covers the brake and the gas pedal. I guess i will just ride the Brute till then.

Weld you a hand control to the throttle and RIDE OUT!!! I wasn't too impressed with the teryxs. Especially after I had to pull one out of a sand and water hole with my big bear.

Hand throttle not a bad idea. I have been needing to us my welder lately. Dont think the wife will be happy as I told her the Rhino was hers. LOL Whatever gets a new toy.
