Da-veed's post is about as good as you are going to get in a frontal side by side comparison view of the Pioneer, Yamaha & Polaris.
However, it also does something else for me ........ and I am not brand loyal, as I have owned machines from all three of those companies, therefore this is not a slam against Yamaha in general.
But is it just me, or do you guys also think the new Yamaha Viking looks visually distorted? I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but it just looks weird to me. The Polaris and the Honda have a much more balanced look to them.
