i know it is late notice but, polaris, doo and yamaha will be at the rock financial showplace in novi michigan tomorrow from 400pm-900pm, showing their respective new hardware. i plan on being there with the mrs, then going to dinner. anyone else interested???? ski
Anybody willing to give up thier rides or add another to the stable, for the new ones?
I liked them (doo, pol, but especially the yammi's), they looked cool, tall straight handle bars, with no windshields and sharp corners, but I'm not ready to give up the srx yet. Especially when the snow was so bad this year in MI.

I was there early and didn't see anybody from here. Wow was that TNT light. I had to check to make sure the engine was really in there. Have already ridden the Yamaha's and seen the Nytro with it's clothes off, so spent most of my time looking at the other two. Polaris has some nice new features, but they have fallen behind in many areas even though I understand the newer sleds handle and ride real nice. Nice Air Shocks on some models Ride FX I believe). Just going over it closely you can see where their engineering is not on par with Yamaha or Skidoo though. I can't understand how Polaris has kept much market share. They must have blind brand loyal customers. Both Polaris and Skidoo have adopted a cast spindle that appears to cut both production costs and weight. I wonder how durable they will prove. The XP chassis shows a lot of promise for Skidoo. There are a few areas that they need to work on, but the same can be said for Yamaha. It looks like you have to add a bag (they make a nice one) to the XP sleds if you want any storage as the seat sits on a plastic platform (lots of lightweight plastic on this sled) that weighs very little and does not have any storage. I wonder if this won't become more standard as the other manufacturer's strive to cut more weight.
Oh, a really nice 1978 SSR was on display. The one with both front and rear anti-sway bars.
