Street motorcyclists already have the pavement covered, so a gift that expands
their range, opens up new recreational opportunities. When a passenger is in the picture, the Yamaha Rhino 660 Sport Edition 4x4
captures our attention at $10,949. Four-wheel independent suspension and nearly
a foot of ground clearance means the Rhino is prepared for exploration of the
most rugged terrain. (Click image to enlarge)
The SUV of the all-terrain vehicle world is the Honda Rincon GPScape 4x4.
Fuel injection feeds the torquey 675cc pushrod motor, while an automotive-style
three-speed transmission makes the capable Rincon easy to operate in either
manual or automatic-shift modes. Pricing starts at $8,049. 
For the ultimate in off-road travel, the $12,998 TKM 950 Super Enduro R sets
a new standard for the class. Relatively narrow thanks to its
V-twin configuration, and weighing in at a reasonable 408 lbs, ready for
fuel, the SER is a true off-road motorcycle that offers the flexibility only
street legality can supply.  Photograph by Heinz Mitterbauer
