Yamaha dropped the ball here with the new lineup?Nothing new for the top of the line Apex?No new HP or skid or weight drop?I don't know but it seems like they are leaving it up to the other brands to bring the latest tech to the forefront first lately.OK they put a cool new skid in the Nytro but thats it?I expected more.
 
Did I miss something? I thought they just released one model the Nytro XTX or did they release the 2009 line-up?

The new release XT-X is just their first new sled that they're taken the wraps off. March 13th is when the rest of the line up is released.

Yamaha made it clear in their announcement on Feb.8th that this would be the release of ONE new snowmobile.

We'll have to hang tight another 5 weeks to see the rest of the line up.

yamaha built this sled for people that are actually going to buy it - not for people that still ride 11 year old technology.

nothing can shut up doo guys, just have to learn not to listen.
 
i sled with a doo boy all i here is about the new i tec engine 600 he says over 20 mpg high 120s for horse power ans 300 kilos to a litre of oil if this is true it should be a good sled but i tease him and say does it come with a tow rope in the tool kit as i tow him home about 3 times a year
 
2 new motors and one still to be announced! The XP chassis is by far the best in the biz! YES! We DOO have alot to talk about! I am sure when Yammie reveals their new weapons for 09 the air will be filled with yammie talk! x-treme

SRX, RX-1, Warrior, Vector, Apex, Phazer, Nitro...... I don't agree especially, considering these times of low snow, low sales years ?
 
Yeah yamaha isn't exactly known for releasing a lot of new models. They used to be criticized for hanging on to old tech for as long as possible. But since 02 they've introduced 6 new sleds and some spin-offs from each.

Cry all you want about how theres no 200hp 400lb sled for this year. The heart of the market is stilll the 600 class and the target yamaha buyer still prefers reliability over having the lightest sled on snow.
 
R U guys sure there's more to come? If so that's sweet. I really don;t think Yammie would have left it at the XTX, they usually talk about all the changes.
