Yamaha is not going to release anything that will intrigue the west... They continue to fail in the west...

It would be a miracle if they release anything that compares to the new Doo....

I refuse to spend thousands on anymore 4 tokes...

Look at the guys as of late build vipers from 250-300 hp with 174 x 3 etc..... And u lose your *** on them...

However I would be intrigued if they did release a 850 2 toke with 170 hp in a lighter chassis than viper!!!

But hopin & wishin is for Disney Land...

--Cat 16 LTD Proclimb works awesome!

Haha... Love the cricket!!!

I sure hope Yamaha releases something good.... My fear is they will release a short track sport quad style thingee forgetting about Western....

I've been on yamahas knee high to grasshopper either it be dirt bikes, quads, sleds, street bikes and a few watercraft.

But I'm done with building the 4 tokes... Don't get me wrong I love the 270-300+ hp sleds that I've had over the years...

Sure wish they would drop some hints...

So you should have it figured out by now. :face-icon-small-ton

Sleds cost way too much and drop in value way too fast.. Every dollar you spend on aftermarket parts is basically like burning your money.

See, I'm 29 and I've got it figured out. I try not to worry about it though, as it brings me excitement and fun and that's worth it to me.

Yamaha really needs a 2 stroke mountain sled again, 4 strokes are great for trail application but are really dying in the mountain segment. The popularity of building a 4 stroke turbo has dropped off pretty hard.

Should have the media kit from Yamaha this coming week
At least then I will know whats in store for us..

Motorbreath_ · Feb 28, 2016

Word on the street is a smaller displacement engine (lighter) with factory turbo and all yamaha electronics.

They need something for sure. With skidoo's new engine bridging 2 stroke performance with 4 stroke reliability, the weight penalty of a 4 stroke has no merit anymore. Yamaha may have just lost their customer base!

I'm still hopeful though as I love everything else they make.

doo says it is as reliable but its not till it proves itself,would be cool if it is but nobody knows but doo i guess.
seems real strange how quiet yammi has got since the doo release.
iam not holding my breath for a new mtn sled because i cant remember the last time they released a trail & mtn sled the same year.

I find this far fetched. Until a dealer can tell me they guarantee an engine for 20000km a 2 stroke will be a 2 stroke and a 4 stroke will be a 4 stroke.. no in between.

Although I would love for this to be true.. Obviously everyone with 4 strokes would be going 2 stroke.. I just can't see it happening.

Not even a Yamaha dealer will guarantee your engine will last 20,000km. 4 years, yes, 20,000km no.

I don't think 2-strokes will ever be 100% as reliable as 4-strokes but the fact that they are making huge strides to bridge that gap is awesome.

There's still something about the sound and torque characteristics of a 4-stroke that puts a smile on my face.

It's a great time to be a snowmobiler!

Hope to get the Yamaha Media kit very soon now so I can get a peek at what actually IS coming our way!

christopher · Feb 29, 2016
