There are tons of people out there who can’t wrench and have deeper pockets than me. That’s what some of you are missing. Clean 340 and 440 starter sleds are getting harder to find. 10 years ago,they were everywhere. $750 got you a pretty nice one. On the family snowmobile week of Christmas/New Years, and King's Birthday and President's Days weekends I know I'll see at several Blast sleds everyday up in northern Wisconsin.

Mototrax made a Ltd amount of kits for the cr150r, arguably the best kids kit - although the adult versions are junk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No non turbo 4 stroke cat with yammy motor. Only the viper has the 7000 motor now. And there’s only 1 Viper model and it’s in an old man package. The fuck are they thinking?

They each weigh just over 400lbs. Todays sleds are way easier to ride than sleds just a decade ago. if your kids know how to ride the extra HP is no big deal.

It was bad for Cat in every way imaginable. HOWEVER, at this point, I’d take Yamaha taking over the Cat brand from Textron. Textron has created a massive problem with their bullshit within the loyal Cat fan base. They’ve got Haydays left to show us what they are doing. If that’s a fail, they are done....or, it’s just slow death til the last breath. I grew up on Yamaha so, for me to jump back to them would be easy....assuming they resume the 2 stroke line. I don’t think I’ll be able to fit back into my leathers though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yamaha has produced basically 2 maybe 3 innovative sleds since 2003. They wrongly predicted an all 4 stroke industry and now have to play catch up. I'd rather see a group of investors with a historical background with Cat buy Textron out like happened with BRP. They have made skidoo better. R&D money doesn't flow downhill when there is so many hands in the piggy bank above it. Trust me I see it everyday with one of my larger customers.
