Interesting article on the Iron Dog. They talk about the ZR 7000. http://www.arcticinsider.com/Article/Bu ... d#Comments

I always find this kind of info interesting. USA market share below. Ski Doo 39% Polaris 26% Arctic Cat 25% Yamaha 10% Worldwide sled market share is supposed to be: doo=33% poo=32% cat=19% yam=16% I haven't been able to find an official chart for these numbers but they are...

On another forum some guy posted that a Canadian magazine wrote that Ski-doo is #1 in sales of 4-strokes. That took me a bit by surprise as they don't offer as many different 4-strokes models or motors as Yamaha. Anyone know if this is true? That got me thinking, back just a couple years...

Here is the first part of a GoPro video I took of my brother and I out riding here in AK and heading up a mountain. He bought my '05 Vector that I modified with a 136 M-10, 1.5" track, Boss hi-rise seat, Wild Child rider forward steering post, GYT-R front shocks, stripped down body work and a...

I'm excited about the new Viper but it appears many people are not. What brand are you planning to leave for? Obviously I got fed up with the lack of changes and left. But, guess what, the Viper has me very interested in a new Yamaha again. I'm curious to see where people think the grass is greener?

The 2000 mile Iron Dog race just started this morning here in Alaska. There is one Yamaha team for you guys to root for. I've got two buddies racing on different teams in the race riding Ski-doo XRS's and Polaris Switchbacks. I'm pretty interested in seeing how the 4 Cat teams running 1100's are...

Great article on sledracer about the race sled. http://www.sledracer.com/2013/01/watch- ... -together/

One of my first rides since I seized a crank bearing in my last race. That sucked and cost me a lot of money to fix. Funny how I'd switched to Yamaha 4-strokes just to avoid crap like that but since Yamaha refuses to upgrade the Nytro I had to go back to a 2-stroke to get a competitive sled for...

I'm debating what to do with my '08 Nytro 121. I want a mountain sled so I'm thinking should I modify my short track into one or cut my losses and buy a new, base model '13 Ski-doo Summit 600 for about $8000? I know the pros and cons for 2 & 4 strokes so let's not discuss that. Don't care about...

What happened to all the Yamaha's? Only one I see in the results is Erdman and he DNF'd. http://www.usccracing.com/results_2012/grafton_100.php

I'm tired of getting singled out on this site for being critical of the lack of improvements to the Nytro. My mod can be found on BCR.

Remember all the contrversy about how Yamaha used an Polaris IQR rear skid in their sno-x sled? Check out the spindles on this Polaris IQR at Duluth. They sure look like Cat spindles to me. [/img]

The present Yamaha line up has nothing in it to make me want to buy new. Seems like there are quite a few on the site that feel the same way. Unlike my past 2-strokes where I'd be getting nervious around 3000 miles and want to replace it, I've got no reservations about keeping my Nytro. The...

Glad to see new posts on the blog! Chris has a post talking about moving sled production over to North America. I think that would be a good thing.

Okay, so I post this based totally on what I've read and what my local AC dealer told me. The 1100 NA is a gutless POS... that is the impression I have of this sled. That bums me out because I wanted to buy one but Cat didn't offer it to me on the race program. This thread isn't meant to be...

I'm tired of getting singled out for being critical of the lack of improvements to the Nytro. I'll post this info over on backcountryrebels.com.

An update... this IQR is easily the best handing & riding sled I've ever owned. It is light, tough and just does what you want in the bumps and turns. I rode my Nytro last weekend (for the first time in weeks) and had a hard time getting used to the heavy front end. After about a 1/2 hour I was...

I'm pretty interested in the new Cat F1100. There is hardly any info about it on the net when it comes to ride reports. I can find ride reports about the 800 and lots more about the turbo 1100, but very few about the naturally aspirated (NA)1100. Cat didn't offer the public any demo rides for...
