Waiting for laydown M-9 wouldn't that be great at 480lb dry with reverse? Shouldn't be difficult, would be only sled I would trade my m7 in for.

Look for them to have electronic reverse in 09!!!!
I know what I wanna see.
A 3 stroke m1700 running a 3.5" Camo Sextreme 191".
18" secondary and a 16 post primary running a 086 belt (you know the carbon fiber laced kevlar rubberanium that automatically adjusts for elevation and deflection). Diamond drive will also release their new double D case... its comes stock with diamond coated gears and unobtanium bearings. The muffler's gonna have the same bearing too, to aid in the interchangability of parts. The windsheild technology is also going off! Invisible clear plastic. But handguards are already on backorder. Ummm what else? You'll have your choice of a DC wired sled or an AC wired sled, whatever your preference, whatever you're used to I guess. Actually I also heard, you can have it al built metric or imperial, but at an added cost of course. They always get us with the fine print. New style handle bars are crash sensing and will automatically lose their tensile strength when an impact is sensed. Much R&D has gone into these bars and will likely make them standard on all models. And all with a 9 year warranty. Did I miss anything?

I'd like to see a 430lb m8

i hear a factory m8 turbo making 300hp with a 3 year full factory warranty and it only weighs 400lbs!

That's just too good! Sign you up for the creative writing award. Don't forget the afterburning exhaust to increase the thrust vector...

3 stroke?hmmmmmmmmmmmmm????????Right on

Billygoat, I want what you're smokin cause that sounds sweet!!!!! It ain't got no chance of ever happening but it sure do sound good.

/Same motor ( lay-down design, 800 & 1ooo ) different chassis, new ecu program, 800 cc 152 hp from the factory in new chassis weighing in at less than 455# dry, 4 smoke for trail users w/ factory turbo, 850 cc, 135 hp, heavy, but reliable and more to come from 4-smoke tech within 3 yrs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Been ready for a 4 weight 4-stroke since the YZF launch. Would love a pure off road mountain sled without any fluff. Much like a moto-cross bike, no headlight, no tailight, no key, no speedo, etc, nothing that adds weight without contributing to performance. Non-highway legal would eliminate the need to license and insure as well.

Nobody figure there will be a mtn version of the new racer?
i hope they leave the heavy 4 stroke crap for the yami boys, us a/c guys are a little too smart to buy a 10k+ sled and then have to put another 10k into it to make it preform. you guys ever look at the yami section, those turbos they say are soooooo reliable blow right and left. if you ask me turbos are for guys who don't have anything better to do with thier money, i'd rather have two 2 smokes and have a great time than spend all my money on one!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Direct injected two stroke. Same M7 chaise.

good one.
how 'bout a heated seat
and accessory plugs for every elec mod under the sun

Exactly. Who doesnt want a light sled but if it effects reliability and strength then no thank you. I'de rather have a 550lb sled that will last a life time rather then a sled weighing 400lbs and is weak and flexible aka Rev XP.

Would like to see the new snopro chassis for 2009 with a 800cc or 1000cc motors.
