mnstang Posted January 10 Posted January 10 I wonder how much it'll go for. I'd think six figures is a possibility. Quote

USA Donating Member ICG Posted January 10 USA Donating Member Posted January 10 For a production sled???? WTF ... "Collectibles" have a horrific track record..... Save the money 💰, & buy one of the earlier models.... Better yet, get a BRP Lynx 1 Quote

It's a special sled with a bunch of documentation. The last ever of a snowmobile icon. Every snowmobile collector will know about this opportunity. Quote

Tommcat Posted January 10 Posted January 10 I would love to win this And use it for a parts sled 1 Quote
AK440 Posted January 10 Posted January 10 A true Yamaha fan doesn’t view this sled as the last Yamaha. It’s a blue Arctic Cat and who gives a shit? This idiotic merger is what sunk their sled division in the first place. They have plenty of blue Arctic Cat sleds currently available on dealer floors here in AK. They never sold as well after switching to rebadged Cat models. Yamaha would still be around selling sleds had they kept manufacturing in Japan. Quote

I bet it goes for huge money to a Yamaha collector that buys it just to have the last one to go along with his 10 in the crate last banshees and yz400s Quote

Here is a snip from a Cat production report. Not sure why someone would want or need to fake this. Quote

Trust me Kawis were not made by Cat..I still have all the info from the Kawi factory, when I raced them Kawi techs showed up to offer assistance and free parts if I needed parts. Quote
USA Donating Member Sled_Hed Posted January 11 USA Donating Member Posted January 11 I believe Kawi/Sno Jets were produced by Cat. Invaders and Intruders were made in Nebraska. Quote

I thought the kawis were built in shakopee mn and the super rare racers are were buried in the back yard of the place when they got out of the business? Quote
