actually from the summit rev was from 04 to 07 and skidoo managed to make a lighter sled every every year in production the 06 m7 to the 07 m8 weighed quite a bit more and the o5 and o6 m7 were exact same different decals o7 had the 2 new motors then 08 new rear suspension plus other small features

I think I am going to jump in on the Doo forum now and bash their sleds so I can be loser like this azzhat above. Maybe time you actually quit being a keyboard jockey pull out your prize possesion and put it against a 1000 and show us all some vids. Oh wait that would prove you look like a bigger @#$@ than you already are.

I think it's mainly cuz arctic cat doesn't put a sled into production until it's dependable and ready to use. I'm sure they have some stuff in a lab somewhere that will blow the xp away. maybe it's even baby blue?? but who cares. if it's gonna break down half way up the mountain somewhere like the xp. Just cuz doo uses customers as test pilots doesn't mean that cat should. I'm ok buying dependable technology that's a year behind it's broken down rival. And to me a good sign that cat is doing something right, is the low prices, highest resale value. And loyal customers. I've never heard of someone switching cuz of a not so dependable cat. I've heard that about both the poo and the doo.

now nate be nice to pinadickonmyface or what ever the guys name is. now tell him what you are riding this winter?
besides he is lost the doo 4m has the same o'l stuff about this motor went boom and that motor was sitting at the dealer on back order for half of the season or i can only get one belt replaced ect...

I'm not sure if this is even on topic anymore, my delima (only a delima if business goes well) is whether to pick up an '09 M8, or wait for the "new" 2010s. The way I see it the 09 Ms will be the pinnacle of the current M chassis, much like my current 05 KK is as far as they could reasonably go with the ZR chassis. Knock on wood my KK has been bullet proof, and I still really like the machine. I think the '09s will perform very well for several more years, proven chassis, should have the kinks out of the motors, lost weight, electronic reverse, new bars and seat options, the suspension is right up there with the Holz I've got under the KK...

dude have u put in serious time on an xp after u get ur stuff fixed after the recalls? ya there was recalls, but it was to make the sled better, but it was a first year chassis so there always problems with that, all cat did this year to drop 22 pounds off the m chassis was port the **** out of everything they could (making the chassis as good as swiss cheese) and throw some fox floats on it, and theyre STILL 45 pounds heavier than a rev xp when wet
P
haha i ride with a group of cats i know how they go and i know how a set up xp goes in the steep and deep is where they shine imo....... im crying in laughter though every one defending there brand haha another sucess full post got you people fired off again to bad you people dont under stand im just bugging you lol

I am in the same boat should I buy a 2009 or wait till 2010? I have a 07 and usually trade every 2 years. The M1000 has lost 29.5 lbs in 2 years, the new track "seems" to be a winner, new tunnel looks cool, elec reverse is great, and I actually like the white. Plus I want a 162 for next year. But, $3500-4000 is a big check to write for more or less the same sled albeit with some nice incremental upgrades.
Normally I wouldn’t buy a 1st year product (2010), but Cat has been very solid on their new releases and I loved my 05 M7. I wish there was some news on where they are going. We can all assume less weight, etc, but if they are going twin spar, I’ll pass…
P.S. Thanks PUD3 for your "input" on this subject.

Dude, The tunnel is the same but with a different rear section and shorter, electronic reverse and different rails. Thats were the weight was lost. I dont see any thing thats ported on the new 09's that isnt on my 07.
G
the running boards are ported to ****
and u didnt answer my question, have u ever put in serious time on a 08 xp after the rcalls were fixed

those xps sure hand it to the m series. LOL. what a joke. Ive came Across 154 163s and sure they whellie alot. But for handing it to the 1000 in the steep and deep. They sit at the bottom of the hill and poach the cats track.
its funny. when my 700 marks a 154 xp and i didnt use a track and he did. Any input on this? and his sled weighs less.. he was 230ish im just 180. But i dont think it was rider. O yeah. M SERIES DONT BREAK AND NEED TO BE TOWED OUT LIKE A XP? Got Drive Shaft? Got Belts?? Got Clutch???:face-icon-small-win
the 09 is gona kill the xps.

Nub- I am in the same boat as you. My 07 M1000 has lost around 38 lbs and I did the BDX tunnel convesion..so 09 is OUT for me..no sense for just the reverse... Now 2010? Yep that the one to wait for.new chassis for sure and I have been told that the hair dryer only goes in the twin spar- and the mountain sleds get the new chassis......I am thinking 2011 depending on what is all show and what really goes.... I see the m1000 getting a bump from the factory..but no turbo for the mountain

you should try going riding with a xp that is set up and a person that can ride..... if i based my opinions on what i see up the mountains from the albertans id say an xp wouldnt beat a 800 zx but when your riding with one that is set up and a good rider you'd be surprised where that 800 will go... why does every one try and compare the 1000 to the 8 any how with the extra power and torque the 1000 should leave the xp in the dust but its funny cause they dont....
obviously PUD has never ridden with a well set up M1,the closest an XP gets is when they are on the tow rope,seriously PUD,get out of the Cat forum and go hang out with your Doo Doo buddies and tell each other how good they are.and btw are you like 12?
advantage to doo..???
well l love the cats...but realistically every canadian taxpayer owns a doo because of the millions /billions of goverment dollars that has gone to Quebec and yes BOMBARDIER...SO EVEN THOUGH EVERY ONE OF US CANADIAN TAXPAYERS OWN BOMBARDIER...MANY OF US STILL PREFER OTHER BRANDS....me a prefer Cat...man if CAT had access to the taxpayers pocket the way doo has had for years theY would be ten times the machine over doo rather then the current 5 times

PUD3 maybe you missed his name it ends in M7 not M1000. He was commenting because he was able to beat an 8 with a 7. So he is reasoning that if he can beat it with his 7 a 1000 would have no problems at all. His 7 is set up very well, and works pretty good on the hill. He is a good rider and can hold his own. I had an XP climb nearly as high as my old 1000 this year. But he did ride up my down track to do it. I gave it crap about poaching track all the way up. And at least the guy is honest he said it was the only way he was gonna get there.
As for the chassis, OK take this with a grain of salt as I am still on a T-Cat. I rode the 09 M8 at Arcticman this year and really like it. I would be willing to give up the big hp for the lightweight easy to handle sled. It was just a joy to ride. I pounded it down bumpy trails and man the new rear skid is on par with the Holz I have under my T-cat if not better. Track works great in all conditions. I really liked being able to do a U turn coming down hill with ease the carvablility (I know its not a word) was great. I will own one in the next year or two.
