Have you been living under a rock for the last 11 years? There were lots of calibration and quality issues that needed to be sorted out in '12. To be frank, it wasn't ready for release. The Turbo's and F800's both had issues related to belt heat & alignment. Lot of issues.....coolant hose leaks. Tri-Hub bearing issues. Chain case weeping. Over rev. Shitty Fox Float 2 calibration. In the pics- IMAGINE the joy of blowing a belt and it destroying the Turbo's ECU because some engineer mounted the ECU to the belt guard. Good times. The good news is that almost all of those issues were improved for '13, and almost completely gone for '14. My '14 RR was a very solid sled in comparison.

What's wrong with diaper filling? Jim does it all of the time....

You saw it on the internet, so it must be fact......

?

SO....... who's ordering a new Yamaha?

The offer still stands.....

@Bontz Or Chris- you could ride 30 minutes away from that LIVING HELL and never see a bump, have the trails to your self, AND you could call me and I'd buy you a beer. Seems like a no brainer. Your decision tho. OBTW, I'll be more than happy to personally groom a route for you. But....you just go ahead and ride over near that shit show of Hayward and Namakagon.

I'm not sure if @Simple Jim is more aroused by this pic or if Jim Ramstad is..... @ZR6000RR My inside information confirms that the new 2024 Kawasaki's will roll off of the Arctic Cat line....

Yep- all 14 of them..... Nearly as many as the Catalyst....which is sold out too....

$20,999 PLUS $845 of additional fees.... PLUS tax..... For a dinosaur from a company that has no commitment to the sport at all, and after being left at the alter by Cat.... Can you imagine what it feels like right not being a Yamaha customer that was hoping for a Catalyst or better yet a genuine Yamaha chassis? Imagine what the dealers feel like? I'm shocked that the internet isn't all abuzz with excitement over the 2024 Yamaha line up......

Nope- I still have PTSD from that one..... Ask me about my 700......

I want to plaster the label "GENERIC" on this sled.... REALLY? They couldn't do better than that?

Sensing a theme?

Yamaha Gray....

There have been sleds that 100% caught my attention due to graphics and color, and as a result I purchased. Obviously, they had other major attributes that sealed the deal, but the color or graphics did get my attention.

I think that blue Catalyst at least in the pictures was pretty subdued. My guess is that it pops pretty well in the bright sunlight?

As you can tell, I am obviously opposed to gray.... :-p
