The company needs to have a lighter utility sled than the VK pro...

    2018 sleds

    2018 is the 50th anniversary of Yamaha sleds. In terms of a utility sled, what is on your wishlist? I'd like to see a trapping machine that's nimble and built for deep snow. Still want a strong 4 stroke, but would like to see a weight reduction. Better handling, but good towing power. No more...

    Something for you to think about

    I sold my 2009 venture mp in October. I sold it for 6500.00. It was in very, very good condition and the buyer got a deal. It was purchased new in 2013, it sat at the dealer for 4 years before I bought it. After I sold the MP, I bought an Indy voyager 600. I was looking at that sled for some...
