I am considering buying a an x3 HO. I am on a budget and it fits my price range. I found a Yamaha yxz1000 with paddle shifters for the same price as the HO and trying to decide. I know the x3 ride will be better. would like to hear from owners on what they think of their machine . top speed? how it handles in woops. I ride mainly in the southern California hard packed, rocky deserts, not a dune guy but would make the occasional trip. I have had a RZR and a wildcat in the past.

You can get the HO for $15,500 OTD in several places if they still have stock. It’s the bargain if SXS in my
Opinion.

If you don’t ride desert then the HO will do fine. I prefer the HO sound and throttle feel but went with an X3 XMR just cuz I wanted snorkels and a few other things for my riding in WV.

It’s the stripper model of all the regular X3’s, and if you are just riding trails and screwing around it should do just fine for you. It’s the same chassis as all the higher versions, but narrowed down for trails and general fun. Still better looking than the other rides out there. And you can get a bunch of the bolt on goodies that fit all the X3’s.

RZR’s still look dated and the YXZ suspension kinda sucks from everything I’ve seen about them, RZR will get around, but so what, the YXZ has a high revving motor that seems like a pain in the azz for trails.
