Several Doo dealers on the SD forum are reporting that spring orders were down 75-80% compared to last season. There should be some great deals coming.

I switched to a 900R this season. There are things I like better on the Lynx, and things I liked better on my Sidewinder. One thing is clear though. The 900R engine does not hold a candle to my Tuned 998 engine. The best performance analogy I can come up with is, the 998T is like having a 3/4...

Isn’t that engine built by Kymco, or am I thinking of a different engine?

It will be interesting to see what they come up with. Textron also use an N/A version of the 998 in the Wildcat XX. If the marriage with Yamaha is over, they will be looking for a power plant for that too.

I hated the original itc throttle on the 900T. I don’t mind the throttle on my 900R. The 998 throttle is still better though.

There is very little difference in the way the 146 feels compared to the 137. I certainly wouldn’t let it keep me from buying one.

I switched to a Lynx with the 900R this season. I didn’t switch because I was unhappy with my Sidewinder, I switched because I wanted a new sled, and I didn’t want to ride the same thing for another 7k miles. Admittedly, I hate the way the G5 Ski-Doo’s look, and I had read numerous times that...

If I were riding quebec all the time, I would probably be running a sidewinder ltx le or SRX with Max Spool 16. And I ride a 900R currently.

Fleecer wins with the greatest response to a question in TY history.

What are you looking to do with the sled and what kind of trails do you ride?

Congratulations on the new sled. I would imagine there will be more goodbyes with Yamaha exiting the business. I switched to a Lynx this season. I like just about everything better on the sled, but I do miss the power and speed of my tuned Sidewinder.

Our local dealer got allocated 12 machines. They sold them all the first afternoon.

Probably because BRP’s color and graphics department is the lamest in the industry. The trail sleds are the same color year after year, and the graphics are extremely basic. The G5 Doo is ugly as #*$&@ too. 9 years later, and the 2025 Yamaha’s will still be some of the sharpest sleds on snow.

Our local polaris dealers have a ton of inventory. Boost, 9r, 850, Dynamix, VR1, XCR, and Assault models only available as spring order sleds at premium prices was probably the correct choice.

We will find out tomorrow. IMO, that looks a lot like the 2019 SRX.
