taperk600 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 At least they won't be battle shit charcoal grey ..... And they have a few models Cat guys want...... the RIOT 998 Turbo for 1. Or at least did in 2021........ Maybe this is Cat's plan all along.... build up Yami so they can produce more for them .... while killing off Cat's numbers so they don't have the responsibility to develop new products.............. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crnr2Crnr Posted March 6, 2021 Author Share Posted March 6, 2021 I will piss my pants laughing if they come out with blue 600 & 800 'ZR Limited' type models with ATAC - so Ramstad completely loses his marbles. Also hope they do it in 129 & 137 None of this is going to happen though... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cats19 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 remember if Yami sells more sleds Cat makes money...so I guess there's that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnstang Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Yeah people make it seem like more Yamahas is bad for cat. Or ripping cat off or something. Like when the mountain max came out. They're all cats so who cares? The more the better imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Polaris gets ripped cause they're not in the 4 stroke market. If Arctic Cat didn't have Yamaha they wouldn't be in the 4 stroke market either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping to see them extend the 2 strokes into the trail segment and not just the mountain max this year.......was hoping it would have better looking colors....... not the case.......

Makes you wonder if Yami only allows Cat to have the motor in 1 sled so not to impact their own line up and sales numbers ? Yami has the SRX...Cat has the T-Cat............ HOWEVER Yami has a turbo "RR" in the L-TX LE And Yami has the turbo "RIOT" in the X-TX AND Yami has the turbo touring sled..... Sleds some Cat guys have been asking for.... SO.... is it Yami or Cat keeping these sleds on the Yami side of the fence ???? Also strange the the SRX doesn't have the power steering option....it's only on the L-TX GT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also strange the the SRX doesn't have the power steering option....it's only on the L-TX GT also, notice there are no longer any touring or utility sleds in Cat's lineup and no non-Turbo 4S gone are the Pantera (not the band) and all the 7000 series sleds gone are the small bore 3000 & 5000 sleds (see B-Last models) also notice the 4S Riot's are Yamaha only the SRX is for 'real men' who don't need P/S - so fully expect to see it next year when the whiners complain too much. there's more, but why should we care? last thought for now... Lynx takes away the #3 spot for 'SALES' in model year 2023 and moves Cat and Yamaha another wrung lower on the ladder.

Well, the suzuki at least had an O2 sensor and closed loop fueling. Now they dont, so i have a hard time seeing how they're better off on emissions with a worse setup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat was dominating that market for the 10+years prior to Yamaha coming in. And has since Yamaha also. But even if that was true, who cares? IF. IF. That's like saying IF Polaris and skidoo didn't have 850's they wouldn't be "x". These IF's don't matter. IF you weren't a dumbass, you'd maybe be cool. You're trying to dog on cat for something that isn't the case. This is what you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
