I recently purchased a motorhome capable of carrying a RZR sideways on a lift. What year did RZR get longer? I believe the widest I can be legally is 8 1/2 or 9 feet wide. I want to purchase the correct our ZR, just not sure what year I need to be looking for. I will post a picture so you understand what I’m referring to

Legal width is 102" or 8.5', not counting safety devices, Federal Size Regulations for Commercial Motor Vehicles - FHWA. This also applies to things like the ladder and awning on the side of 102" wide RV's.
As others have said there is no RZR that is legal to flat carry sideways. There are some people that have angled ramps they carry machines on that makes them short enough.
The RZR 900 trail models with the square body style are 105" wide, the new round body are 110" but that includes the roll cage that goes behind the machine.
I carry a 2018 RZR trail cross ways with almost 10,000 miles so far in less than a year. Yes it is illegal, yes I am willing to risk it, yes machine is well inside the width of my mirrors. At some point we will buy the newer style and I will be removing the rear portion of the roll cage to keep the length down.
I am attaching 2 images. First is one with the RV and how we normally haul. The second image is of a trip we took from WA to AZ and I agreed to haul several of the machines. When the other guy said trail, I thought it was an RZR, it was not and it was 110". I found out the morning we left so I did not have a lot of choice, but I would not do it again in the future.

Dacaur is correct. 800 is the shortest
Even the trail 900 is 110" OA length
Surprised they showed a rzr 1000. It's over their 1300# weight limit and way over the length

Oh this is going to be a great thread.
This topic is covered in many threads already, lets fire it up some more.

That motorhome is absolutely not capable of carrying anything on the back. There is only a couple of hundred pounds of cargo capacity left on the rear axle when normally loaded. Let alone 1200 lbs 4 feet behind the bumper.
