Surprised I am first to post, Yamaha YXR1000r, new SXS
This looks pretty good, hopefully they come out with a 4 seater YXR1000r

I've never replaced a belt or been stranded by one and I never have to shift. Sounds like they left a MC transmission on the engine to rush it to market.
Supposedly not a rush to market at all. Rumor has it Yamaha has been designing and testing this YXZ for ~5 years before releasing it. With the "manual" shift, Yamaha is addressing a part of the market that didn't previously exist and believe it will be a huge success. Even the Polaris and Can Am forums are all over this YXZ with high response of many who are ready to jump ship. Of course those are the vocal ones and expectations are that many Rzr owners are very happy with current Polaris offerings.
That doesn't even address the more efficient power to the ground without a CVT, ~20% more power to the ground with the manual shift. Puts it close up there with the turbo SxS offerings when comparing wheel HP. Now, throw a turbo on the YXZ...
Whatever your views are... it's good to see different offerings from different manufacturers as the consumer ends up with a lot better options.
