Cat made the 4wheeler statment because they sold more 4wheelers than sleds

New Folks Are Discovering Snowmobiling
Ed Klim, International Snowmobile Manufacturers Association
We all know the snowmobile industry is competing in the marketplace for our discretionary income. Some surveys show the No. 1 competitor of snowmobiling is the cruise line industry. Many families sit around the table discussing how they will spend their discretionary income. Winter cruises are often on the list, but thankfully many folks are choosing a snowmobile, which is a healthy lifestyle investment encouraging family fun and activity for many years, not just one short week in the middle of the Caribbean.

I have an mech engineer friend who only rides yamaha and has since the early 70`s.he still has his first sled in perfect condition 74 gpx 338.he is the best tuner i have ever met.I grew up driving the old leafies ,they taught u how to ride and how to take the bumps todays sleds are far more forgiving03viperguy said:I have an engineer friend who loves polaris. you know why??? he says they come apart easy so he can tinker and modify. he thinks yamaha is pretty nice though, he ORDERED an apex GT. says from an engineering standpoint that the fusion is a complete flop. he is a smart and well educated man, thats why he says the new yamahas are well made and an engineering feat![]()
