After having owned a CFMoto for awhile, if you were to purchase another side by side, what would you get?

Personally, I'm thinking of getting something next year and while my Zforce has been solid, would like to get something different.  I do miss having a dump bed, so I'd be in the market for the Polaris General, Can-Am Commander, or the Yamaha Wolverine.  Any thoughts?  I don't like that the UTVs continue to get wider and wider.  60" is just about perfect for me.

For me I would like some more room..mostly to get the dog off the wife's lap...and a little more power would be nice. A four seater would be great although it would have to still be able to ride on the 9'4" flat bed. That limits me to about three. Honda Pioneer 1000-5, The Yamaha Wolverine x 4 1000 and with a little help.. an older Polaris Commander Max 1000. The cost of any of these are what's stopping me right now. Just can't justify. I didn't even put 200 miles on my Z last year. Probably less this year.

Bummer.  Get out there and ride, man!  I put a lot of miles on last year.  It heals the soul.

Cost is also a huge factor.  These things are getting priced up so much.  If I had no cost restraints, I'd likely get the Polaris General Trailhead package.  That thing's pretty slick.  But OTD is likely around $30k.  That's just crazy. 

Lots of folks have the Pioneer around here.  It's pretty popular, so is the General and the Ranger.  The Pioneer is pretty slick for a 4 seater that doesn't take a country mile to do a u-turn.

That's a question that is affected by so many factors. Budget, new requirements, personal preferences, etc.

For me, the first two haven't changed. For instance, I would stick with twin cylinders and 50".  The third has changed a little bit; but not enough to make a move.

If I were to change from my current Z8, I would probably shop used, and take my time until I found the right deal.
It would not be a Polaris for many reasons, but mostly because I don't like their automatic AWD system. Otherwise, I would leave my options opened but lean towards a Can Am.

The more I look at that Commander, the more I like it.

I love the new commander.  They even have a 700 version with their new clutch.  Favorite part about it is the seating position.  It's basically a maverick with more storage.
