    We have little doubt a re-birth and freshening of the Apex. What are they saying??

    My Apex so far has been bullet proof. I love it. I must secretly admit, however, that I would love to get my hands on a "mountain max 700 triple" just as a fun toy to have. Shhhh don't tell anyone.

    We have little doubt a re-birth and freshening of the Apex. What are they saying??

    Textron bought Arctic Cat Industries for only $247 million. "In the 2018 fiscal year, Yamaha Corporation generated about 4.07 billion U.S. dollars in net sales." I don't think Yamaha wants Arctic Cat or they would have fought to buy them originally when they went up for sale. I am going...

    We have little doubt a re-birth and freshening of the Apex. What are they saying??

    What is the article saying (go to the end) Are they saying a new Apex is in the works or are they saying something else? I don't get it. I'm at work, so sorry if I missed something in the article. http://www.supertraxmag.com/features/whats-next-for-yamaha/n3844

    Back to the Apex

    FOR THE MONEY, Apex is #1. Apex = R1 motorcycle. The fit and finish and bullet proof engine is second to none. Slap a turbo on it and OMG.

    Feeling Guilty

    You have a point. There is only 1 Japanese "real" Yamaha left being made (from Japan). If I were to buy a Yamaha R1 sport-bike, I would want the real thing, Aka "made in Japan" So I wouldn't feel too guilty because its not made in Japan and therefore not really a "Yamaha". I'm not...

    Comment by 'UP Michigan rider' in item 'Sidewinder Btx 153'

    I know that location!! I have a few pics there myself! Last time I stopped to take a picture 3 (some type of police officers) on black snowmobiles went past me real slow. Glad I had purchased a sticker.

    Apex blown motor

    Wow I am shocked. I go to Meyer's Yamaha quite a bit and know the owner (son). I'll have to ask him what the deal is. Considering its based off a motorcycle engine, its hard to believe. Did it have a aftermarket turbo on it????

    Apex line is officially officially toast. 2020 sleds are here.

    Sorry but I am a "made in japan" type of Snowmobile guy. The fit and finish of a Japanese snowmobile is unmatched. I was so hoping they would bring back my favorite engine but they didn't :dunno: Considering snowmobiles cost as much as a Yamaha motorcycle if not more, I want my engine to last...

    12 apex xtx is home!

    For what its worth, "Some riders who bought these skis started out with way too much carbide"or way too aggressive in their runner combination selection. This is very important – trail riders should start out with the round 9mm NO CARBIDE runners on the outside position and the round 9mm runners...

    2 stroke 3000-5000 miles is it????

    If he paid $13,000 and it blows up at 13,000 miles, is that good? Apex break in period is 25,000 miles :)

    2 stroke 3000-5000 miles is it????

    "Yamaha nearly out of business?" I don't think you realize what a monster sized company Yamaha is. Yamaha Motors announces record profits in 2017 February 13, 2018 Yamaha Motor Co. announces results for the current consolidated accounting year. Net sales were 1,670.1 billion yen, an...

    2 stroke 3000-5000 miles is it????

    Seems like all the articles I read within the established media magazines / on line snowmobile magazines, they practically all have orgasms over the 2 stroke engine. But when you read what the REAL owners of the 2 stroke motors have to say, they don't see all that happy with the durability. 2...

    2 stroke 3000-5000 miles is it????

    I was looking at a 2017 Polaris switchback 800 to replace my Apex. However I keep reading story after story of Polaris switchback owners talking about how their 800 engines blew up after 3000 - 5000 miles :dunno: This would not do at all in the U.P. of Michigan with miles and miles of trail...
