Agreed.  Poos are weird looking and look tall and tippy to me.

They need to bring back carburetors so we can bitch about the calibration of those shitty things 

Nothing like riding around with a pocket full of jets and a tiny screwdriver.  No thanks.  I threw a box of that shit in the trash 15 years or so ago....and I have no interest in owning anything with carbs again.

You are tippy and unstable.

In my mind this is a throwback to the late 80s color schemes that defined that decade, especially the 1988 Wildcat 650 (which my old man had when I was a kid). I didn't really care for it at first either, despite my personal history. But, it has grown on me and I plan to do a custom wrap incorporating the different shades of green when I take delivery.

That I can agree with when they’re meshed together in ways that make sense. It wouldn’t even be that bad if not for the 2 different greens on the windshield/cover and the springs and spindles being different.

Cupla bored VM 39.2’s on the 858 and I’d betcha that bitch is in the upper 170s out of the box

Which green matches my helmet?

 

I could definitely see a modern day male Cat rider sporting that lid on the trail today. For sure....

I'd be surprised if someone didn't try to race in one at Ditchbanger Nationals.

Whoever does the color schemes for cat needs to be fired. I thought the 70 shades of green bullshit was done after 2019 or so. The thing looks awful like that

they should have been firing people from the graphics department instead of engine calibration and engineering.

Purple, orange, black and green is what everyone thinks of when they think arctic cat. Those were the glory days

remember when someone approved this?

If I could find a decent deal on the purple people eater, I'd strongly consider buying one.

Hated it when it came out, has grown on my bigly since then.

Edit: There was a set of those purple side panels at Salvage.  Should have bought them.

Don't think that one will be coming home.  

Have other things to put money to this summer that involve 4 wheels.

If I for some reason find myself with a PTS slot on a GT3, purple isn't super high on the list.  A non-metallic green or blue would top of that list.

Usually your PTS cars maintain their upcharge for the paint.  Silver and black are boring and uncreative.

This here is the best looking sled ever built and never had a fire recall.

I love the 19 purple units that’s what I was trying to find but had to settle for Tom’s black 19

The ATAC uses medium and Apple. Looks great! Sno Pro is all medium. You all sound like a bunch of old hags, worrying about color. Stupid fucks!

Worrying about color?  If it looks like shit everyone should worry.

Then buy the Sno Pro. One green. Medium. Problem solved.

Track choice sucks on the sno pro
