i dunno why you guys are complaining already. its a purpose built sled. people called yamaha fat, so they slimmed em up and now they have a mountain lightweight sled, lookout boost cuz theres no stoppin them, they have a entry class sled for sno x that has wide running boards for traction, and looks like loads of travel, and also i bet they will be a butt load cheaper than a $10-12k sled!!! i dunno about you, but some of us can't afford things like that, especially lacking snow. i personally am excited about the new ones (maybe its cuz i'm young and that thing looks like it has a huge decal on it that says "JUMP ME!!!") i don't know what anyone has left to complain about. so far year for year yamaha has been reading all our posts on these boards and answering our request again and again. who gives a rip what it looks like, its how innovations and designs are born. maybe its not "blingy" enough, but i bet it beats hard like a champ!!! 07, gotta get me one!!!
