Anler Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Another winner! lowered and coil over Fox shocks with remote adjustability from the handlebars! What took so long to make a turbo sled like this? And I think the colors are fucking HOT! The best Arctic Cat snowmobiles continue to say YAMAHA on them! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmo Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Wow, no jap sleds this year. Inventory way up and production cut way back for Yamaha. Good deals on leftovers this year. 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back then their motto was light weight performance for a good price with rock solid dependability and excellent fit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtssrx Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 so gross. That's not an SRX. That's a CAT. Yamaha disgraced the name SRX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted March 6, 2018 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted March 6, 2018 Only one mountain sled in their lineup. I'd say the clock is ticking on Yamaha having a sled line. My guess is within 3-5 years they are supplying engines only for sleds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yamaha is strange, it's like they really don't care much about snowmobiles but when you look at their ability to make great engines, it makes you wonder. IMO if Yamaha really wanted to, they could bury every other manufacturer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a lack of desire to be a top player in the industry. Don't get me wrong I love my Sidewinder...maybe even my favorite sled I've ever owned but I'd love for Yammie to jump back in the snow drift and compete on their own. If you ask me the fact that Yam/Cat are so in bed together is just an admission they can't compete with the big dogs.

Yamaha bean counters know how small the sled market is and don't see an acceptable return on investment. I was a Yammie guy through and through and I hate it, but that is the way it is. This lineup is just their next step in exiting the industry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yamaha still putting out 13 year old chassis with same engine and Cat running the same one for the 7th year. and now co-mingling production... Its not a good sign. If anyone is positioned to put out a top notch DI 2 stroke in a snowmobile its Yamaha. They obviously just dont care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
