RPMs are not a good judge of what motor is in the "new" sled. First, the gauge could be doctored, seems a bit far-fetched but Yamaha did it before on the 08 R6 motorcycle. Second, that 1050 motor can easily spin that much. Triumph motor cycles, which I have one of, put a 1050 3 holer in all...

Well, now that you put it that way, I am in. anyone from Michigan want to save a little gas and "car-pool" Let me get this out of the way now: happily married, 11 month old, trying for second, so no reading between the lines. Oh, I also have a tow vehicle 04 F-150 Supercrew.

I am in for the 500 miler and the Muni ride at a minimum. I have always been looking for an excuse to do Canada as well. Wawa sounds like fun but the rubber band kinda scares me.

Either way, congrats, look forward to meeting you in Muni as well.

Check the signature--Yeah, I plan on arriving safely at death, but there are a few things in this life I cherish. My family (wife, 11 month old Zoey), my extended family and my wife's family. I also enjoy that sledding lets me enjoy it that much more.

Here is a pic of the old summer toy--sold last year to a family in Missouri--was great fun while we had it but just did not use it enough to justify the cost.

Here's my summer toys.

I think Cat started this "inflated" travel number when they were boasting 13.5" of travel when the max for the other manufacturers was 10". I cannot remember where they measure but this is not true travel of the rear suspension but travel of the kicked up tunnel I believe. Yammie, I believe...

Ok, floats on the Attak would have made my decision that much harder guys. For once I am glad they did not but for 07 I can see all rough trail sleds getting this "option" if Fox can meet demand and Yamaha specs/quality.

Wawa area would be great, can't be further than Big Bay by car and I've done that from SE Michigan.

Yes, to each his own is definitely true. I will also admit, the GT looks sweet as well. I actually liked the looks of the RTX when I saw it on the floor at the early show here in michigan. As for that photo, I have the poster of it, the Attak in Red and the three Nytros on my garage wall.

Gee Jason, let us know how you really feel about the RTX. :moon: Oh well, as Mighty says....... #$%&* :tg:

Yeah, I am seriously considering the Simmons skis as well. Had a pair on an SRX 600, they did wonders, so much so that when I sold it to my father-in-law, I took the skis off and changed the color scheme on the 01 700 Doo to match the skis. Now that is messed up. Skis were silver and blue...

Fish On.........Oh yeah, that would be me.

Definitely interested in the simmons skis

Happy to hear the pad will be there. As for the tunnel, like the looks of both painted and bare. So, not enough for me to walk away from my deposit.

Mighty, what trails are you riding if they are not tight and twisty? Get off the railroad grade or the lakes you speed demon. :tg: Try the trail from Marquette to Big Bay for tight and twisty. Now, don't get me wrong, I had an 02 Ski-Doo Renegade 700 and when I was riding with a group of six...

DITTO.

As with most things, the oem exhaust is a compromise. The oem exhaust was likely designed to meet the broadest uses the machine may see. Are there exhausts that will perform better? Sure, depends on where in the torque and horespower curve you want that power though. Just my two cents...

sobfrogg--I have always been tall and lanky so what looks like too much on me may be a stellar weight for others. Besides, I just need the exercise.
