Amen brother!!It makes me sick! :angry_mad: linksucks[/b]
How does a sled go from the biggest :turd: in the field to a race winner? In Duluth, that thing couldn't even get out of its own way. :S[/b]
I'm not exactly sure what you're getting at, but they aren't going to force anyone to do anything. Now if they are building a better product and the other brands need to switch over to keep up... that's not called manipulation.what makes me angry is how yamaha is gonna force the other manufactures into changing into 4 strokes just because they couldn't build a 2 stroke twin worth crap. I know the hp is about the same between the yami and the other manu's, but that four stroke has a ton of torque with it being a 1000. I really think its wrong for yamaha to manipulate the sport like this.[/b]
My next sled will definitly be a Yamaha. The torque of the motor is unbelievable. Who cares that its heavy. The Apex rips!!I think Yamaha used to make some incredible 2 strokes; by far the most reliable. Wouldn,t you like a sled that can reliably go 10,000 miles with minimal issues? 16 mpg driving hard on any regular grade fuel? Take off the blinders; give up the 8 track player & look towards the future![/b]
I agree. 1000cc's vs. 600 is not fair (just like in mx where 450's vs. 250's).So looking at this we have sleds that are probably in excess of 200hp running against 150hp 600's?? Is that accurate? Melrose?? I'm guessing Yami has BIG BIG $$ into some VERY high-tech light parts in that sled also. Probably not much of a weight penalty...and wayyyy more power.[/b]
