I'm not paying much attention tonight. I don't really care for the Yammi deal. It's shrowded in all kinds of secret bullshit. I don't give two shits about a 4 stroke engine either. So, that makes me less enthused about it all. Now...about this other emoticon......on my way! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll bet you can't find one single person that wouldn't go back to the Zook for the 1100. Not one. Whoa, wut?

Then, they farted, sputtered and fluttered their way into an abortion. 4s just don’t work well in this conditions. Truth is, it’s a real rarity when we run into a Turbie out on our trails.

These days, a lightweight 150HP gets me just about everywhere I have the talent to have any business being. 200HP for a drift busting field monster sounds fun, but I have been know to use poor judgement with my right thumb.

Yeah, we sometimes chill at a turnaround and bullshit while we watch sleds go by. 4 strokes just sound weird to me still. 8 minutes ago, sledderj said: I've never understood the big HP hang out on the lake all day thing.

Probably best I not go there. I think if you are into big ponies, you kinda need to ride it where it fits best. Purpose built for lakes, fields, long straights and trail superhighways. That’s why we don’t see them where we ride. For the same reason, that’s why they don’t see us down by the lake. To each their own. I won’t bragg about “how quick” my sled is to them and they shouldn’t tell me how well theirs perform in the twisties. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never understood the cat guys hating Yamaha. I love yamaha engines....they are amazing. I hate yamaha because they bailed on the sled industry and never put any effort at all into advancing chassis and developing new and useful tech. All they have ever given us sledders is bargain bin shit they had on the shelf....it just so happens that yamahas bargain bin shelf is filled with shit that is miles ahead of the rest of the community engine wise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yamaha has produced about 4 good 2 stroke engines in their history. There were a lot of turds in there as well. Given that power valves were basically Doo technology the others would have struggled without it on 2 strokes. 1. 700 SRX 2. 485 Phazer 3. 440 SRX 4. Vmax 800 Edited February 27, 2018 by Highmark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vmax 800 They also led the way on 4s in sleds and had they not pushed the industry that direction it wouldnt have gone there for anything other than utility. The 4 hole 1000 R1 engine and the 1056 were good platforms and they showed that it was a viable market. Now look where we are.....turbo's being common place and 300HP sleds everywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Yami engine is light years ahead of the Suzuki just saying. I think the combo of Yami and cat saved both of them. The new cat build quality is light years ahead of 2012 and Yamaha needed something to spark some sales.

Fucking Tranzam rides back and forth over the same few driveways he jumps in the ditch cause his sled has a range of 25 miles and a topspeed of 65 but he is shocked he hasnt seen any turbos at all out his way Edited February 27, 2018 by f7ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
