Frostynuts Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Hard to imagine them coming out with a more powerful than the Sidewinder they already have. Will we have to take out a mortgage, instead of a loan, for this next one ? LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srxfasterapex Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I'm thinking apex motor. Just guessing, the guy also said in all his years on a Yamaha that he would never of thought they would do this. Could also be a limited build sled 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostynuts Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 It certainly would be nice to see someone come out with something totally out of the norm. I still cann,t believe someone hasn,t come up with a new clutch system, like hydraulics, that can better harness the 50 % of engine power that is lost getting to the track.

Slow Joe Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 Finding Insurance for a way more powerful sled then either the Thundercat or Sidewinder would be a challenge Ive been shopping around for upgrading to the Turbo class and it aint pretty my present company that insured my old girl turned me down on a newer Turbo unit still shopping I will get insurance but at what price,now call em and say I got a 300 HP 30 thousand dollar new Yamaha whatever they would say bye bye.Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that some may simply choose not to insure turbo sleds and or above a specific engine size. I know I haven't had any problems with our 4 stroke non turbo sleds. They didn't ask me the engine size when we insured them. They wanted the VIN # make and model then told me the details of the engine. Technology lets them see what the manufacturer has associated with the VIN # Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srxfasterapex Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 They say anything over 1000 they are cashing in on. My apex isn't bad at all on ins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frostynuts Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I,m surprised Yamaha and Cat don,t have the same release date for the new 2019 stuff. It appears Cat is Feb. 25th, and Yamaha is March 6th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a conversation with insurance on Monday. We just got the renewal for the vehicles and the premium for the 5 year old Escape SEL is actually more than the premium for the new F150 King Ranch.

Puzzleboy Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 (edited) That's because they offer no crash protection. They're also easy to get into, steal, etc. 1 hour ago, ArcticCrusher said: Yup. Insurance on my Wrangler Rubicon costs more than sons Challenger SRT. Go figure.

Puzzleboy Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Unfortunately, that gives them an "out", the one time you need them...... a million dollar+ payout. 1 hour ago, Slow Joe said: Ya old friend of mine(guess all my friends are old)LOL fessed up about having modified his engine and suspension they dropped him like a rock that one ya got to stretch the truth a little.Joe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puzzleboy Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Does for bikes, never seen it personally on sleds though. Wouldn't matter much anyway....... a 500cc LC sled will kill you just as quickly on a trail. Plus, the bigger dollar sleds will typically be owned by older (read - slower, more conservative) riders. 3 hours ago, Srxfasterapex said: Doesn't it just go by Cc's for ins? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
