The Yamaha garage that is.bluemonster1 said:as if the new 2014 sled would be sitting in someone's garage like that..prbably just a guys build for himself..probably a AC guy causing stink.
Looks like someone signed up to make one post... I like that! Where are you from? Can I buy you a beer???Bossman said:stickin that motor in a cat chassis is a good place for it. maybe yamaha wouldnt be in 4th place if they built some good 2 stroke motors. and a decent chassis. hope yamaha does shutdown sled building. I wudnt buy a new yamie anyways. But i will ride my vmax-4 till i die.
I agree. I really was torn about the idea, now after seeing more details, I am disheartened by the new sled. I will try one out as a demo, but cat making this sled is not a good thing. I still love the nytro, and the Apex, and especially all 3 cylinder forms of the venture, but I don't like the way this is headed. The price certainly has now just went up a lot for not much performance increase. Even if it weighs less than the nytro, which it will by ~100 lbs, it still is a 130 HP class sled. 13k for 130 HP?yamajohn said:I just watched the yamaha canada xtx video. I just love how he makes it sound like they built this sled and how much better it is. What a kick in the teeth to all the yamaha faithful.

I feel the same way. Anybody but cat. Cats have always been the lowest quality sled, at least since 84 when cat resurfaced after bankruptcy in what, 81? Then cat says they have their 50th anniversary? What about those years in the early 80's when there was no arctic cat? Not only do they make crappy sleds, but they have horrible math skills too. :-)killerklown said:[QUOTEmaybe this chassis Arctic was using never was an Arctic Cat chassis...but a Yamaha in Cats clothes all along!!!]
If it were a Yamaha chassis, and getting a yamaha motor, there would have been no reason to start as a cat.
I really cant believe how many guys are cool with this. I mean anybody but fricken cat....
why would you sell your sleds?killerklown said:Well that does it for me. I'm out. I WILL NOT be riding a cat chassis around brainwashing my self that it's OK because its blue. No thanks. So now what? Totallyamacat.com? Now everybody things the cat chassis is cool. You guys are too easy... Guess I'm going back to polarisfiles or dootalk.
my viper and venom are now for sale. I will finish out my paid VIP membership here. Then selling out my collection. I'm not joking.
He said that because someone said that the originally posted pictures were photochopped. Clearly they were real as I could tell. Those that use PS backed up thier credibility as you couldn't see tell take PS traits. Troll or not, he was spot on.needaSRX said:
low slung said:Its yamahas new business model.Supply powertrains(already designed)to an otherside source while phasing out the models built in japan(reason they got very little changes,heavy discounts).RnD cost are saved and the quality of the yamahas built by cat will be subpar.This in turn will cause more warranty claims which will equal more business for the service department.Its a model that BRP has major success with.In 10 years time we will look back and wonder why yamaha stop building sleds in japan,and wish for them like the two-stroke sleds they once produced.
