The Apex, as good as it was and what it was designed for is a15 years old design with the exception of bolt on items. Almost any sled made since 2012 handled and rode better than the Apex, Its not about if the Winder is better than the apex, it’s about Yamaha’s lack of involvement in sled...

Yes it has. That is just crazy!

Skidoo Polaris and lynx are all proving you wrong. It’s just an excuse when you say there is no money in it or it’s a dying sport. Meanwhile the others keep innovating with MSRPs approach g $24000.

Well how about Yamaha just develop a sled. I don’t care when an anniversary date was. They quit over 15 years ago with sled development with every excuse in the book as to why. Yet Skidoo, Polaris, now Lynx all keep pushing the sport forward with new developments. Yamaha engines yes. Sleds no...

This didn’t age well.

New Yamaha tech for 2023.

Polaris and Ski-Doo listen to their customers Anne offer what they want. Of course people change brands but many more have left Yamaha for other brands than vice versa. Sales number don’t lie. You are certainly correct that Yamaha couldn’t care less about what their customers are doing.

It’s not the tool it’s the people using the tool. There is lots of good stuff on social media platforms. It’s the way that the people use the platform that is the problem and their idea that they are the only thing that matters. Same is true with guns. A gun by itself can do no harm. It’s the...

If you want to create traffic for the site, bring back the topless and girls in bikinis topic. What you wrote above haz zero chance of happening. More likely that some transgender dude give birth. Boobs are about the only thing that’s reliable these days.

The consumer shouldn't have to make a choice between something that works or something that is refined. Your word is fancy?? Not sure what that is. Yamaha's strength coming into the agreement with Arctic Cat was clearly improving the AC fit and finish. An Apex from 2006 has far better fit and...

why can't you have both ? Why do we have to settle? The two are not exclusive of each other. You've accepted a significant lesser fit and finish for a cobbled together sled that drives better than almost all other Yamahas. The die hard true Yamaha fans would be more accepting if there were...

what does that even mean? Online sled specs?? He’s a rider for photo shoots? Wow that’s how Yamaha uses his extreme talent? That explains a lot. Yamaha doesn’t even have the balls to come out and say what’s going on. What are they really afraid they’re going to hurt their future sled sales...

I don’t know Chris Reid personally, but followed his blog. He seemed like a very straight forward thoughtful guy. Would not surprise me one bit if one of the biggest reasons he retired was because he knew there was no way to positively spin this sh*tshow for the rest of his career. That and...

This has to be extremely embarrassing for the snowmobile team at Yamaha. I mean imagine if Chevy’s new lineup was nothing more than different color Fords. Laughing stock of engineers around the world.

I just want to first at something today so here it goes. “This is not the whole lineup. They’re probably holding back something.”
