I am surprised what a good job Yamaha has done in not allowing anything about the new sleds to leak out yet.

If yamaha had anything big coming out we would have heard about it. I think you'll just see some refinements like Doo did for 2012. Maybe a factory SC or Turbo. Economy just isn't good enough to warrant a big change. On the other hand I think Cat will have a new chassis just because it's their 50th anniversery and the M series has been around for a long time. We all know it's BNG's for Polaris which is fine due too the Pro being a big success in the mountains. Have to say, there isn't one of the big four I wouldn't buy a sled from right now. Good stuff for everyone in my opinion.

Ya, you would be hard pressed to find a brand new high end sled that wouldn't be welcome in your garage right now.

While there are plenty of differences, our current crop is pretty solid.

It would be a step backward for how much they are pushing 4 strokes, But ski-doo bashed 4 stroked for years and now have two motors.

But if they went 2 stroke with this technology??????? http://www.yamaha-motor.com/outboard/products/subcathome/14/home.aspx

Would be a e tec competitor.

And! to be fair, ski-doo only has etec from buying out Evenrude and took their evinrude ficht technology, this is pure yamaha......And i would possibly buy a super light weight yamaha nytro like sled with a 800 HPDI 160hp motor because i will never buy a 4 stroke.
