Either way, at 3lbs of boost it makes more power than the guesses out there on the net. Going to surprise a lot of people I am sure. Just hoping it will stay together. Might want to follow the link to view the official EPA numbers... the 840 is pretty far behind all 3 doo turbos, and not in the same country as a 998 Edited March 8, 2022 by krom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They begged Suzuki for an extra year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's OK I am sure those modern poo riders can swap a set out in the parking lot if they can even point them out that is 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My $89 printer burns through $100 in ink amazingly fast. So, where was the thread speculating about who was going to make an engine for snowmobiles and what was the consensus? Would Cat go shopping for a non-Yamaha turbo tiger or make their own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took them 6 months to do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should be the first to market and leader in a ev snowmobile. They have everything to do it very easily. They would also put dent into Tiga’s operation as they already have a dealer network in place. They just need the product for people to order. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripleflipper Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 This is one of the funniest posts I have read in a long time. Several Cat guys bashing Poo for introducing new products to the market. Regardless of Poo's past performance on new product, at least they are in the game with Doo. This post would be tolerable if it was Doo guys doing the bash, at least their brand has something up to date. Looking forward to Cat's new sticker release. BTW I have had no issues with any of my 800's since my 2012 Pro R nor my 840. LMAO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
