I think there is a big difference in what you are going to use it for. For trails I agree completely with dairyman78. We ride a lot of trails in AZ in the winter also and I would say that at least 80% of the machines in our area are razors. We have had chances to ride the Wildcats and Can Am and pretty much everyone we ride with likes the ride and comfort of the razors better. We have also had people rent rangers and they don't like the seats and they are short on power for the roads and the hills. If you are concerned about safety and will have a 5 point harness a bench seat is not going to work very good and after 3 or 4 hours of riding it will not be near as comfortable. The CanAms are good machines and there are more of those showing up down there but we really have not like the way you sit and see out of them. They also seem to ride a little rougher but still have a very good ride. The new Yamahas look really nice but you have to shift them and I have been told on the racing circuit the frames have not held up very good. We have not had a chance to ride a Yamaha. I think we have seen 2 JD's in AZ in the last 3 years and there are a lot of farmers that go down there for the winter and ride. If someone has one it does not take them long to before they trade if for a razor. For farming the razors would not be good as there is not a lot of storage space.
