The release of the 2015 Viking VI EPS SE continues Yamaha’s push into new UTV territory, showing their determination to lead the charge in the large-vehicle off-road market.

Not only can it carry up to six people in their own individual seats, but it can lug up to 600 pounds of gear along with them.
