What percentage of dealers would snowcheck more than 12 sleds per day ? I personally don,t know of any.

Around here, most dealers would be lucky to snowcheck that many in a week.

Still trying to "un-embarrass" yourself I see.  Just move on.  You'll never heal if you keep digging at the scab.  Hell, you're the one that gave yourself that gaping wound....when you could have just accepted a surgical, easy heeling, cut.

Sadist ghey.  :lol: 

 

 

I was right.....you are dumb !!!!!!!!!11 But not as dumb as DerpState.......I'm going to quit saying that because it isnt possible

the tech on 2 strokes is injection schemes that are clean and accurate......dumbroski cant grasp that but its true :lol: 

the basic 2 stroke engine has been more or less unchanged for 60 years 

Last year my buddy showed me a picture his yami rep had of a prototype 800cc twin yami had developed. Yamaha has the money and the resources to develop whatever that want.. Want being the key word. Maybe yamaha seeing the increase in sled sales with the the yamacat partnership over the past few years will lite a fire under the little japs asses and get them back into the game..:bc:

800 and now 850 class is the largest seller. Yamaha doubled down on 4 strokes and it failed. They’re silly to be so stubborn not to go back 

It's been a slow death watching them slide on their sword slowly every year.

Remember this?

4 strokes are the way of the future......all manu's should be balls deep in them.

the reality is there are tons of apex sleds rolling around with 20k on the power plant. the manu's dont want that......they want your junk 2 stroke to be worth nothing after a few good seasons and for you to have to buy another one instead of just replacing your motor

I think they’ll always have a place but they just aren’t taking over like people thought. If 2 strokes can get their reliability up then most people would rather have that. Lighter and more playful. A new 175 hp 2 stroke sounds fun to me

I agree that if they can truly get a 2 stroke to last as long as a taken care of chassis then most people would prefer them. That is going to take a crank with oil passages and true Direct Injection , proper control schemes and sensors utilized correctly. They are trending that way now but the power needs to come up as well. These new tall chassis that push tons of air really need more in the 190-200 HP range to be fun

Yamaha has the brand loyalist folks out there. They just have get serious about this market. The effort put forward in the last few years was weak.

Yeah they do. These chassis soak up a pile of HP. Especially over 100 mph. It’ll take a 1000 to get to those HP numbers though

Race winning in "hypersled" class.

I hope like hell I'm wrong but I see thread upon thread upon "sticky thread" on the new 850 break downs.  Like the 2015 Axys "fade" and 2012 PC clutching fiasco.

You know that straight line racing is about 10000x more popular among sledders than faggots ass SnoX right? Look at all the big races that have no coverage that attract huge crowds. Infinty , Weenie Roast etc etc. 1000's showing up to party and watch sleds race. Last time I was at Duluth for SnoX I bet there wasnt 100 people there watching that werent associated with the race or the ski hill

Yeah and it’s easier to get into as a competitor. The money and time people spend on just training to get into sno x or moto x is just insane. That’s not for average people and that’s why nobody cares

Stopped giving a fuck when the sleds didn’t have to be consumer sleds anymore.  I don’t give a rats ass what a race only sled can do.

I believe straight line racing is more popular with riders.  I prefer that.  It keeps my trails unlittered with non-skilled riders.  :lol:

But as far as crowds go...WUT? :lmao: Last time I was at Haydays I'll bet there wasn't more than 200 people in the stands.  Actually, make that every Haydays I've ever been to...multuple times a day.  SX attendance continues to climb above or towards record numbers.  How many straightline sled races are televised?  Bottom line:  Snocross garners attendance and revenues.

Best pic I could find for haydays.  Remember, there's 20k people on site looking at garbage they find more interesting than the grass drags.
